Arriving into Tivat Airport or sailing into the Bay of Kotor puts you in perfect position to explore the picturesque Montenegrin coastline. With its beautiful beaches, dramatic mountainscapes, and Venetian old towns, the Herceg Novi region is ideal for adventuring by scooter. Hiring your own ride gives you the freedom to discover secluded coves, climb forested hillsides, and wander through ancient fortified cities at your own pace.
Start by coasting southwest of Herceg Novi along the Magistrala to discover the beautiful Blue Cave near the village of Zanjice. Then head north to Mamula Island, where you can explore the 19th century fortress before grabbing lunch at one of the seaside restaurants in Prcanj. The iconic Church of Our Lady of the Rocks on an artificial island near Perast is also worth seeing.
Don't miss Herceg Novi's UNESCO-protected Old Town with its charming squares, Ottoman clock tower, and seaside promenade lined with cafes and bars. Then venture up Mount Orjen into the remote highlands to experience breathtaking vistas above the clouds from atop the Subra Peak. The mountain roads here are ideal for scooter touring.
On your way back, stop at the ancient walled city of Kotor to wander the medieval streets and public squares. From the city walls, you'll have panoramic views over the bay. For a perfect sunset, ride out to Ploce Beach near Meljine.
With so much stunning scenery and historic sites to explore in and around Herceg Novi, renting a scooter gives you the freedom and flexibility to discover it all at your own pace.
