Its name means Black Mountain because of the stunning mountain ranges that dot its terrain & are amongst the wildest and most rugged in the whole of Europe. Dramatic scenery is a major draw to this small country. Coupled with the mountains is a glorious sandy coast, and there are also areas of limestone karst formations.
A popular attraction is the Gulf of Kotor, where a well-preserved beautiful medieval city sits at the water's edge, with a breath-taking mountain backdrop. Budva is another beautiful town on the water and the old town of Ulcinj is perched high on top of the mountain, looking out over the shores.
