Virpazar is a small fishing village on the road between Podgorica and the Montenegrin coast. It lies at the point where the rivers Crmnica and Orahovštica meet and flow into Lake Skadar.
During the spring, the high level of the lake turns Virpazar into an island connected to the mainland with its three old, stone bridges. The village is located in the central part of Crmnica, a fertile region with a favorable climate for growing vines, olives and all other types of fruits and vegetables. Virpazar is also the starting point for most boat trips on Lake Skadar. The town of Vir was first mentioned in 1242 and it is very possible that it was a small trading center for all the surrounding villages, even at that time. In the 15th century, Vir was captured by the Turks and the Besac fortress was built, which still stands on the hill above the village.
When the Turks were expelled from the fortress at the beginning of the 18th century, the village became the most important trading center in Montenegro, frequented by merchants from Podgorica and Shkodra. His role during this period left a lasting mark on Vir by adding the word Pazar ("market") to his name. It had a busy port, and in 1908 it was connected to Bar by a small railway, the first in Montenegro. Virpazar is also known for the July 13 uprising in 1941, when the inhabitants of the surrounding villages attacked the Italian garrison and liberated Virpazar, after hearing that the Italian occupiers had announced the "independence" of Montenegro.
Virpazar is well connected to Podgorica by railway and highway. If you are coming from the direction of Podgorica, you must be very careful not to miss the sharp turn on the left side of the road, which leads straight across the bridge into the village. The houses in Virpazar are built in a circle with the front facades facing the wide square and the back facing the water. In the middle of the tree-covered square there is an old fountain with drinking water, and around the square there are three restaurants and a tourist information center. Almost every day on the square you will be greeted by locals selling their home-made products such as the famous Crmnica wine and grape brandy, but the best day for shopping is Friday, the local market day. Across the old, stone bridge, on a high rock, there is a commemorative plaque for the 13th of July Uprising.
A short walk along the asphalt road uphill will take you to the Besac fortress. This well-preserved fortress was built by the Turks in 1478. In the period between the two world wars, it served as a police station, and during the Italian occupation as their stronghold. Besac has outer walls that enclose a large courtyard and a citadel with circular towers on its four sides. You can climb to the very top of the fortress, from where you will enjoy the view of Virpazar and the marshy area that surrounds it.

Tivan is a city of great changes and incredible destiny. It used to be the summer resort of rulers, nobles and poets. Tivat enjoyed a peaceful history until the end of the 19th century. However, then the Austrian admiral knocked on Captain Marko Krstović's door and announced the establishment of an Austro-Hungarian military base on the banks of the Tivat. Tivat became an arsenal, a military port and a shipyard. Craftsmen, locksmiths and shipbuilders were trained in Tivat for a whole century.
History repeats itself, thanks to Canadian billionaire Peter Munk, Tivat will once again become a summer resort for nobles and European billionaires, providing great opportunities for elite tourism. Namely, Peter Munk had a different vision of the city of Tivat. Instead of gray military ships, he saw expensive white yachts, instead of blue uniforms – Chanel suits.

Kotor is one of the oldest cities and ports on the Adriatic. The city is enclosed within its walls like a baby in a cradle. It was founded and built by the Romans in the 9th century. Kotor is part of the UNESCO cultural heritage, a magnificent tourist destination in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro.
Thanks to four centuries of Venetian rule, typical Venetian architecture dominates Kotor, which makes it unique.

If you want more excitement, you can book day trips or rent a car. The places we recommend are the capital of Montenegro, Podgrica, the canyon of the Tara river and Budva.
For your stay in Kotor, we recommend nearby fishing villages such as Perast, Risan or Prčanj, which are well connected to Kotor, but can still provide a peaceful and pleasant vacation.
These villages were once home to famous Montenegrin sailors, and today they are health resorts, given that the air in the bay is very rich in iodine and has always been the best destination for family vacations.
Perast, Risan and Prčanj are beautiful, small towns with enchanting architecture and a wonderful atmosphere. Risan seems to be cut off from the rest of the bay. Here you can find modern beaches. Prčanj is a fishing village with the largest church, and is the closest to Kotor, yet it guarantees peace and quiet to all tourists and visitors who want a more intimate and peaceful vacation.

The pastures and lakes are surrounded by dense forests of ash, beech, birch, conifer, and a particularly interesting black pine that grows in almost impossible places - from the rocks of the canyon and overhanging the steep ravines. Some examples of black pine are older than 400 years and taller than 50 meters. More than 40 types of edible mushrooms can be found on the slopes of Durmitor. This area is a habitat for more than 160 species of birds and over 300 animals - more than 130 species of diurnal butterflies, the most interesting of which is the beautiful Apollo butterfly (Parnassius Apollo) which is protected for its magnificent beauty.

In the past, the castle of Nikola I in Podgorica was the official winter residence of the last king of Montenegro, and now it is the most prestigious art gallery in the capital of the country.
Gorica hill is located in the immediate vicinity of the center of Podgorica, it is a very popular picnic spot and is a true paradise for recreationists. In Gorica, there is a Monument to the Partisan Fighter, an adventure park, well-maintained hiking, cycling and fitness trails, as well as a Mediterranean garden where visitors can learn about a significant number of endemic species. From the hill there is a wonderful view of the right side of Morača, as well as the contours of the Millennium Bridge. It is attractive for visitors throughout the year, but especially in hot summer days, when shade and clean air are sought in the capital of Montenegro.
In recent years, more and more people have been using Gorica as a place to gain physical fitness from various sports-recreational and professional disciplines. Being in nature itself is healing, especially in a forest like the pine tree in Gorica, and it has been proven that pine trees emit phytocidal chemical substances that purify (sterilize) the air. This reflects the health importance of Gorica for the human body. The hill is a natural shield against the north wind in winter.

Brdo Ljubović (101 m above sea level) is a hill located near the center of Podgorica, i.e. a conical limestone hill overgrown with pines and wild types of grass and medicinal plants. Like the Gorica park, it represents the forest and the Podgorica picnic area. It is surrounded on the west, south and east sides by the Zabjelo settlement, and on the north by the Stara Varoš settlement. The significance of the hill has changed throughout history. The hill was forested in the 20th century, just like the Gorica hill. The picnic area has pedestrian and bicycle paths, arranged furniture and green areas, and a modern road has been paved that includes the most important points for walking, sports and recreation. It is attractive for visitors throughout the year. The road is not accessible to motor vehicles. Although the hummocks are conical in shape, each of them takes a certain direction, and Ljubović extends in a northwest-southeast direction. In the relief, despite the good forest cover, limestone blocks clearly stand out on the eastern and northern sides of the elevation, where the limestone erosion has taken the most momentum, and there is also a smaller cave on the northern side of the elevation.

The small town on the river of the same name is one of the most beautiful towns in Montenegro.
The Crnojevica River is easily accessible from the Podgorica-Cetinje main road. The beginning of the story of the town is linked to the ruler of Zeta, Ivan Crnojevic (1465–1490), who, in order to avoid the Turkish army, built a fortress and a monastery on Oboda, whose church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. He transferred his capital there from the Žabljak fortress, and the monastery became the seat of the Zeta Metropolitanate.
In the town itself, the remains of historical buildings from the time of Ivan Crnojevic have been preserved, such as the basement room of a long-destroyed building, which is connected to the work of the so-called Obod printing house, where the first Cyrillic book "Oktoih prvoglasnik" was printed in 1494. In addition, the first pharmacy in Montenegro was opened in this area, as well as the first weapons workshop. At the beginning of the 20th century in the "Marica" factory, mother-of-pearl - pearl made from fish scales - was produced.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Crnojevica River was the largest Montenegrin port and a leading trade center. A particularly prized product of this region was dry ukleja due to its uniqueness and exceptional taste, which was also highly sought after on Italian tables.
At the entrance to Rijeka Crnojevica is the stone "Danilov Most". It was built by Prince Danilo in 1853 in memory of his father Stanko Petrovic. Next to the bridge, on the left bank of the river, he built a one-story house known as "Mostina", which has been preserved to this day.
The oldest preserved building in Rijeka Crnojevica is the house of Saint Peter.
Enjoying a visit to this place is complemented by a rich gastronomic offer of authentic fish specialties, themed walks, and kayaking.

If you have free time and are looking forward to nature, there is a place near Podgorica where you can hang out with animals, feed them and enjoy nature - Animal Recovery Shelter in Gornji Mrki.
The place is a real paradise for animal lovers and a real little animal kingdom.
It is easy to find, and what you need to know is that the entrance fee is 3 euros per person or 10 euros per car.
When you pay the ticket, you also get food for the animals so you can feed them yourself, and in the bowl you will find fresh carrots, cabbage, zucchini and corn.
The first thing you come across is a wide wooden gate that takes you to a completely different world. A spacious property where goats, kids, pigs, ducks, dogs, emus and a whole flock of geese run around, which will immediately head towards you out of desire for play as well as for the food they expect from you.
Although the number of animals you suddenly find yourself among is an overwhelming experience, after a while it becomes completely natural and inspiring.
When visiting the animals, you will have your own guide who will tell you incredible stories about the sad but also joyful adventures in the lives of these animals.
Deer, peacocks, geese, pigs, dogs, surrounding birds that stalk the missed grain and mischievous emus that only briefly let you know that they are there and that they live in a happy community with other animal species.
The animals from the shelter are not only affectionate towards the workers, but they will direct their trust and love towards anyone if they feel trust and benevolence.
Injured, rescued from various situations caused by natural or human factors, many of them were returned back to nature.
The protected species bear, wolf and deer found a home here after unfortunate circumstances that forever threatened their safe return to the wild.
Love and harmony between humans and animals is present here at every step.
The visitors who come here also feel it, so many of them have become "regular guests" of the shelter.
But even those who come for the first time quickly fall under the irresistible naturalness of the proximity of the animals and the ambience of the estate.
The most numerous are the youngest for whom it is the experience they dreamed of.
Here, children forget their fear very quickly and are ready to help feed the piglets or kids, cuddle with the incredibly cute Iri, the owner of the estate, or the small and lively Spitz dogs that happily follow them.
You can also feed a bear, wear a large python around your neck, run with emus, pet a small monkey, feed a llama and a camel, observe the leaves of Zivka and wolves, in general your day will be completely fulfilled.
A day spent at the shelter flies by in the blink of an eye, and the incredible feeling of belonging at parting makes you turn back again and again to see if the emus will rush again, if the little piglets will finally catch up with their mother and how the bright one is watching it all Iri. This shelter will fill you with pure joy and the need to care for others which, you will agree, has become a rather forgotten skill for all of us.
