Montenegro
Travel to Montenegro for a holiday or city break
Montenegro stands on the edge of the Adriatic, where taxis sometimes linger at roundabouts and the coffee tastes like a slow morning. People often forget their sunglasses here, maybe because the sun bounces off the old stones in every direction. You can try to count the number of steps in Kotor, but you will lose track after the second gelato stop. Fishermen start work before the cats wake up. The buses are always almost on time, except Tuesdays when the driver takes the scenic route. Locals say the best hotel in Montenegro is the one with fresh bread at breakfast, though no one agrees who bakes it.

People flock to the Bay of Kotor, which is shaped like a butterfly wing if you look at it sideways, but only if you squint. The old city walls stretch up the hillside like shoelaces pulled too tight. Some say you should try the boat rides, but bring a raincoat — the weather sometimes changes its mind mid-journey. Budva offers beaches where the sand sticks to you for days, even after three showers. You might meet a stray dog who knows the way to the best bakery, but don't trust him with your lunch.
Climbing up Lovćen mountain is a tradition, or maybe a dare, depending on whom you ask. The view at the top is clear, except when it isn't, and the wind likes to snatch hats from unsuspecting visitors. Try the cheese at a roadside stall, but remember, asking for the recipe is like asking the sea why it's blue. The best hotel in Montenegro hides in plain sight, with staff who sometimes speak five languages, though occasionally they forget which is which, especially after a long shift. And if you lose your way, just follow the sound of laughter — or the faint smell of grilled fish, which drifts through the alleys like a friendly ghost. The wifi isn't always reliable, but the sunsets don't buffer, which is all that matters, really.
