Montenegro is a Balkan country with rugged mountains, medieval villages and a narrow strip of beaches.
The entire country is bursting at the seams with natural beauty, and it’s becoming increasingly popular for travellers who want an untouched holiday destination.
We’ve chosen the seven most Instagrammable places that will guarantee a great Montenegro Instagram photo.
1. Boka Bay
Boka Bay is one of the Mediterranean’s most distinctive and striking landscapes and is unmissable when in Montenegro.
It’s divided into four natural bays and will be one of the best views you’ll see in Europe.

Ostrog Monastery is built entirely into the side of a cliff and is visited by more than 100,000 pilgrims from around the world. The pearly white stone monastery is insanely photogenic.

4. Lake Skadar
The dolphin-shaped Lake Skadar lies on the border of Albania and Montenegro, and is the largest lake in Southern Europe. It’s also – we reckon – one of the prettiest.
Take a boat ride through the blue waters to cool down in the hot sun during summer, and be sure to hike up high for a birdseye view of the lake.

5. Milocer Beach
Looking for a perfect sandy beach? You’ll find it at Milocer beach in the Budva Riviera region.
The beach boasts olive trees, pink sand and turquoise waters. Heaven. Climb onto the beach cliffs for a dramatic Montenegro Instagram photo.

6. Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan is a charming seaside hideaway resort with lush grounds and stunning sea views. Previously a fishing village, in 1960 it was converted into the old town and is connected to the mainland by a narrow road.
To visit the resort you will have to pay to stay at Aman Resort, a luxury hotel resort with stylish villas and a private beach. It’s worth it.

7. Lovcen Mountain
Mount Lovćen is an iconic mountain in Montenegro and is known as ‘the heart of Montenegro’. Once you reach the top you will have panoramic views across the whole country, and there’s also places to have a BBQ picnic.
Be sure to stop at the Hotel Ivanov Konak on the way and grab the Njeguši sandwich, stuffed with local meats and cheese.
