Along the coast of this bay in the Adriatic, that stretches for 105 kilometers, you can find tens of protected urban locations. Gotovo da nigdje na svijetu, na tako malom prostoru, ne postoji toliko prirodne ljepote koju daju kontrasti mora, planina i mediteranskog pejzaža, združeni sa nemjerljivim bogatstvom i stvaralaštvom tokom vijekova, počevši od Herceg Novog, preko Perasta i Kotora, do Tivta.

The Orjen Nature Park is a protected area of ​​the Orjen massif, on the territory of the Municipality of Herceg Novi. The Orjen massif covers 400 km2, three countries, and three municipalities in Montenegro. Orjen has the most beautiful part of the coastal Dinarides, as well as the highest peak on the entire Adriatic coast. The nature park has a dense network of marked trails, both for those who prefer an easy walk to those that challenge even an experienced mountaineer. However, Orjen was not created for people who are used to easy and quick access to reach beautiful mountain spots. In order to find them you will need to make an effort. Among the most attractive, but not among the most difficult, is the path to Veliki kabao (1894 m), the highest point of Orjen, the coastal Dinarides and the entire coast, on both sides of the Adriatic. It was built for a more leisurely outing of the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Prince Rudolph Habsburg, and is the oldest purpose-built hiking trail in Montenegro.

In addition to walking and hiking, Nature park can also be toured by mountain bikes, using the historical, Austro-Hungarian roads, or today's macadam roads that lead practically to all former Orjen katuns.



On Orjen it is also possible to practice many other activities that are in line with nature conservation, such as bird watching, mountain running, paragliding, alpinism, speleology, and on Vrbanj there is also one of the most equipped and modern adventure parks in the region, perfect treat for adrenaline junkies!

TO Herceg Novi takes you with its short film through the magical village of Klinci on Luštica

What is Luštica hiding - a mysterious peninsula at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor? What was life like in the old stone houses and taverns? What treasures and secrets do old churches keep? What does life look like in the villages of Luštika today? The answer to these and many other questions can be found on the panoramic route "Life on Luštica". Enjoy a leisurely driving tour with an audio guide available on the Google play store where the izi.travel app is free to download. Etymologists still argue about the origin of the name of the peninsula. Some say that the name Luštica comes from the fact that the hill buried in the sea looks like a shell. Another is that due to the large number of groves and olive groves, it got its name from the onions, so Luštica is derived from the word "onion". What suits this unusual space the most is the claim that the name comes from the Latin word "la lucra" or "la luchie", which means light or shine! A short film through the village of Klinci on Luštica, available via the link:

Herceg Novi tourist organization at the IMEX tourism fair in Frankfurt

The tourist organization of Herceg Novi is performing for the first time at the specialized fair of conference tourism - IMEX in Frankfurt, which is held from May 20 to 22. IMEX Frankfurt is the largest fair of this type in Europe and gathers more than 4,200 buyers and over 3,000 exhibitors from all over the world. Exhibitors include national and regional convention bureaus, hotel groups, specialty venues, cruise lines, airlines, spas, technology providers and event management specialists. Attendees include meeting planners, heads of event agencies, association executives, incentive travel buyers and in-house event specialists. Last year, over 60,000 meetings were held, while this year a record number is expected.  During the three-day fair, the Tourist Organization of Herceg Novi will hold numerous meetings with members of the economy of this important branch of tourism, and will discuss potential cooperation in the future while presenting the complete congress capacity of our destination, which is reflected in 11 hotels with conference capacities, as well as in our city attractions that can be converted for these purposes. Development and promotion of MICE tourism will be one of the key parts of TO Herceg Novi's strategy in the coming period, especially when we talk about the off-season offer of the destination. Previous years have shown that this segment of the tourist offer is one of the drivers of off-season tourist traffic. The goal in the coming years is to implement promotional activities that, in addition to classic MICE groups, encourage the intensification of "incentive" travel. The key to finding adequate partners and contacts lies precisely in fairs of this type, which gather experts from all over the world. For the purposes of presenting the complete offer of our city, a new brochure for MICE tourism was created, which has its promotion at IMEX and brings together all relevant information for further promotion of the congress potential of Herceg Novi.
