Trip stories from Montenegro

Rubén Canales

Today’s country of the day is Montenegro 🇲🇪 I visited it for the first time last summer during my “Balkan Summer” visiting most of the former Yugoslavia nations. We arrived in Montenegro from Sarajevo in a 8h bus around. Our base was Budva, an old city by the Adriatic. From Budva we also visited Kotor, another middle age fortified city in a bay surrounded by high mountains. Montenegro was nice but coming from Bosnia it didn’t surprised us too much, we felt it was a big party…
