Spanish Fortress | Tvrdjava Španjola (Free Entry)

This defensive fortress sits at one of the highest vantage points in Herceg Novi. From here you get phenomenal panoramic views of Mount Orjen, the sea and the main town.

In 1538, Herceg Novi was briefly conquered by the Spanish and in the span of a year, they built the Spanish Fortress.

Bloody Tower | Kanli Kula (Entry: 2€ per person)

Kanli Kula was formerly a notorious 16th-century prison, complete with scratch marks on its dungeon walls. It truly earnt itself the name that literally translates to ‘Bloody Tower’.

In the present day, this fortress is used for more pleasant occasions such as music performances, live theatre and Herceg Novi’s Film Festival.

The best way to spend a day in Herceg Novi, recommended by locals.

Coffee in the old town at Gradska Kafana (coffee & cake = 3-4€€ per person)

After climbing two fortresses, you have earnt yourself a break!

Head to Gradska Kafana, an enormous cafe/restaurant in a grandiose building with plenty of old-fashioned charm. This cafe is very popular with locals who often stop for a coffee here before work and on their lunch breaks.

Wander the medieval old town

snoozeandexplore.comcreated by:

Herceg Novi’s medieval old town was first founded in 1382 by the first King of Bosnia, Stefan Tvrtko, who was responsible for constructing Forte Mare (which is the next fort on your itinerary!).

There is, however, evidence that this region of Montenegro, surrounding the bay, was populated as far back as the 3000 BC.

Lunch at Touch (Lunch and a drink for one = 5-8€€ per person)

Stop at Touch for lunch to try Herceg Novi’s freshest and tastiest fast food. They make great sandwiches, pizzas and pancakes. They even make their own bread for their sandwiches.

We personally recommend the chicken sandwich with grilled vegetables and their pancakes, sweet or savoury.

Walk the promenade and swimThe promenade is one of the best places to go for a stroll in Herceg Novi. It starts in Meljine and ends in Igalo, the full walk takes around 1-2 hoursdepending on your pace.

The easiest way to visit the promenade is on foot. Walk from the old town to the port.

The sea views are spectacular and the sea breeze will keep you cool on a hot day.

While on the promenade eat Do-Do Gelato(0.70 - 0.90 € per scoop)

This gelato is not something you will want to pass up on! It is the perfect treat for warmer weather.

Do-Do Gelato is made in Herceg Novi with an Italian recipe and it truly rivals the gelato from Italy. My favourite flavour is Don Vito which is a vanilla-cherry-chocolate flavour.

Catch the sunset and have dinner by the sea at Amaro Restaurant in Kumbor(Dinner and a drink = 8-15 € per person)

A 10-minute drive from Herceg Novi’s old town, you will find Kumbor. This idyllic town is a great place to swim and catch the sunset with a cup of coffee or a nice meal.

I specifically recommend Amaro Restaurant. Their pizzas are extremely flavourful, some of the best in Herceg Novi! And their setup is unsurpassed, you can literally dine or drink your beverage of choice right next to the sea on the shoreline.
