Description
Experience the best of Montenegro on a captivating full-day tour from Albania!
Departing from Golem, Durrës, or Tirana, your journey begins with a scenic drive along Albania’s picturesque coastline and rolling landscapes before reaching the border with Montenegro. Along the way, you’ll pass through Shkodra, one of Albania’s oldest cities, framed by the glistening waters of Lake Shkodra and the Rozafa Castle — the natural border between Albania and Montenegro.As you cross into this Adriatic gem, the scenery transforms into dramatic mountains, turquoise bays, and elegant seaside towns steeped in history and charm.
Your first stop is the world-famous island of Sveti Stefan, an exclusive resort once frequented by Hollywood stars and European royalty. Here, you’ll pause for photos at one of the most iconic views in the Balkans — a picture-perfect peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, surrounded by crystal-clear Adriatic waters.
Continuing along the breathtaking coastal road, you’ll arrive at the enchanting town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the Bay of Kotor — often described as Europe’s southernmost fjord. Wander through its maze of cobbled streets, ancient squares, and Venetian palaces, all encircled by towering medieval walls. You’ll have two hours of free time to explore at your own pace: visit St. Tryphon Cathedral, climb part of the fortress for panoramic views, or simply enjoy a coffee by the water while admiring the bay’s serene beauty.
Next, the journey takes you to Budva, Montenegro’s most lively coastal destination. Known for its golden beaches and vibrant Old Town, Budva perfectly blends ancient heritage with a modern Mediterranean vibe. Enjoy 1.5 hours of leisure time to stroll along its fortified walls, shop for local crafts, relax at a seaside café, or take a dip in the Adriatic if the weather allows.
As the day comes to an end, sit back and relax on your comfortable drive back to Albania, taking in the stunning views of Montenegro’s coastline one last time.
This unforgettable day tour offers a perfect combination of natural beauty, rich culture, and history, allowing you to experience three of Montenegro’s most famous highlights in one seamless journey — from the glamour of Sveti Stefan to the old-world charm of Kotor and the sunny allure of Budva.
