October 8, 2025 by Kameri Leave a Comment

Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro. When first hearing this, I assumed there would be lots to do and see in the city. I soon learned that people joke that it is the most boring capital city in Europe. While it isn't a tourist hot-spot, we still found it worthwhile to visit during our time in Montenegro. We went through Podgorica twice while traveling through Montenegro. First as a multi-day stop-over on our journey from Kotor to Durmitor National Park. After our time in …

Kotor is nestled between dramatic mountains and the interior of Kotor Bay. Here you will find a medieval Old Town, a sparkling clear bay, and tons of friendly felines.

Trebinje is the southern-most city in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a region known for lots of vineyards.

Trebinje has quite a few tourist-worthy sites to visit, but not the crowds and over-touristed feeling that so many destinations come with. Below are the things I thought worth checking out in Trebinje. A couple days in this small town would be enough to see it all, but we think it’s a …

Mostar is one of the most visited towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Often people go for just a day trip but I recommend spending at least a few days there. Mostar is best known for its picturesque Stari Most bridge and Ottoman Old Town but there is much more to see. It has interesting street art, scars from the war, and beautiful surroundings. There is also a great day trip option to a gorgeous waterfall and a medieval and Ottoman-era fortress village. This post share the sites in and around …
