It’s located in the middle of the Montenegrin coast, making it great base city if you’re hoping to explore the best beaches the country has to offer. Tivat has plenty of great beaches of its own, including the child-friendly Plavi Horizonti and the secluded Ramala Beach. That said, your first port of call is likely to be the stunning Porto Montenegro, an utterly glamorous complex on the waterfront that’s packed with bars, restaurants, leisure facilities and plenty of family activities.

Other cultural highlights include the Maritime History Museum, the ancient former fishing village of Donja Lastva and the gorgeous Veliki Gradski city park. This exciting city is particularly nice to visit throughout late spring, summer and early autumn. Pick hotels in Porto Montenegro for a particularly luxurious stay.
