About Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi, known as the "City of Sun," sits at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and is one of Montenegro's most charming coastal destinations. Founded in 1382, the city boasts a rich history reflected in its impressive fortresses, including the iconic Forte Mare, Kanli Kula, and Španjola Fortress. The Old Town features narrow streets, stone stairways, and beautiful squares that tell stories of Venetian, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian rule.

The city is renowned for its lush vegetation and botanical gardens, with exotic plants thriving in the Mediterranean climate. The Savina Monastery, surrounded by cypress trees and offering spectacular sea views, is a peaceful retreat. Visitors can enjoy beautiful beaches along the Adriatic coast, including the popular Igalo area known for its therapeutic mud and spa treatments.

Herceg Novi hosts the famous Mimosa Festival every February, celebrating the blooming of these yellow flowers that symbolize the city. The vibrant promenade, known as "Pet Danica," is perfect for evening strolls with cafes and restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialties. The city's strategic location makes it an excellent base for exploring the Bay of Kotor and nearby Croatia.
