Montenegro Highlights and Events
Travel in Montenegro with Intrepid
Boasting a stunning stretch of Mediterranean coastline, gorgeous tucked-away mountain hamlets, and a charming small town affability, it probably comes as no surprise that Montenegro is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing tourist destinations. Hit buzzing Budva during the 2-month summer season and you’ll likely be beggared by the antics of Eastern Europe’s well-heeled pleasure seekers, yet venture beyond the glitz and be rightly rewarded with pristine natural landscapes and rustic towns oozing old-Europe charm. Subtle but seductive, stylish and schmick, this new kid on the Balkans block is fast moving to the top of its class.

Montenegro's Top Picks
Montenegro's first official international representation as an independent state was the entrance of Ivana Knežević in the 2006 Miss World beauty pageant
Top 5 Creatures in Montenegro
- Bears: Fairytale and soft-toy enthusiasts will be thrilled to learn that Montenegro is home to a stable population of European brown bears. Eternally vying with its polar cousin for the uber-cool title of ‘world’s largest land-based predator’, you may not like to encounter one unexpectedly (extremely unlikely), but it’s fun to know that they’re plodding about somewhere not too far off.
- Wolves: As the most widely distributed large mammal on the planet, it’s probably not overly surprising to hear that the country boasting Europe’s highest index of species per area unit should also have its share of grey wolves – even if the government has made it legal to hunt them.
- Otters: Much like the tourists who descend on the country’s beaches during July and August, these curious and cheeky critters can sometimes be spotted breaching the surface of Montenegro’s freshwater lakes or basking by their shores. So well liked are these little guys, that in 2011 the Montenegrin Ministry of Culture launched ‘Otter Fest 2011’; a festival promoting the development of Skadar Lake’s local communities and drawing attention to its endangered otter population.
- Lynx: Probably the fluffiest of Montenegro’s wildlife, but with a dwindling population thought to be less than 100 due to illegal poaching, the Balkan lynx is only very rarely spotted in the remote mountainous region of the country’s East.
- Golden Eagles: Proudly emblazoned on the country’s flag, the majestic golden eagle is sometimes spied scouring its skies. One of the best-known birds of prey, it’s certainly one of the most powerful hunters with reported sightings of sheep and goats being snatched up, and one confirmed account of a brown bear cub being carried off!
