When to visit

The best time to visit Herceg-Novi is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. Summer can be hot and crowded, while winter is quieter but some attractions may be closed. The annual Mimosa Festival in February is a popular event celebrating the blooming of the yellow flowers that cover the town.

Getting around

Getting around Herceg-Novi is easy with options like buses, taxis, and rental cars. The town is walkable, with most attractions within walking distance of each other. Boat tours are a great way to explore the coastline and nearby islands. Driving is also a good option for exploring the surrounding areas at your own pace.

Traveller tips

Don't forget to bring sunscreen and a hat, as the sun can be strong in Montenegro. Try the local specialties like seafood risotto, grilled fish, and rakija (fruit brandy). English is widely spoken in tourist areas, but learning a few basic phrases in Montenegrin can enhance your experience. Be prepared for some steep stairs and hilly terrain in the Old Town. Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory in restaurants and cafes.
