My visit to Herceg Novi Old Town was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled along the Adriatic coast, this historic area is a delightful blend of cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and picturesque views. Walking through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, I was immediately struck by its rich history. The well-preserved buildings, dating back to various periods, showcase a mix of Ottoman, Venetian, and Austro-Hungarian influences. Key landmarks like the Clock Tower (Sahat Kula) and Kanli Kula fortress offer fascinating insights into the town’s past. The Old Town is a visual feast with its narrow, winding alleys and charming squares. The stone houses with their red-tiled roofs, vibrant bougainvillea, and lush greenery create a picturesque setting. The St. Michael's Archangel Church, with its beautiful façade and serene interior, is a must-visit.

Herceg Novi was the highlight of our trip. It is a beautiful old town with incredible views and sights to see. Parking was easy and cheap. The walks through the narrow streets or along the sea front were beautiful. There is something for everyone with architecture, forts, beaches, sports and shopping. It was popular without feeling too busy. Well worth spending time wondering the area to your hearts content.

Herceg-Novi Old Town makes for a lovely walk. The restaurant at the end on the right-hand side approaching the steps to the Clock Tower is where we had the best pizza ever, and discovered Vranac wine, native to Montenegro. Good, fairly upmarket shops, but very reasonable prices.

This charming town of about 30,000 people includes over 13 distinct ethnic groups. The preserved architecture blessed by Adriatic Sea breezes offers a seaside walk to waterfront or indoor dining, shops, churches, boat rides, and even an on-going wine tasting. So much to do in this savory spot. The place has gone through many name changes over time, and the name that sticks in Herceg-Novi, or "new town." There is so much history and yet so many new food and shop offerings.
