At the crossroads of East and West, in the heart of the Mediterranean, overlooking one of the most beautiful bays in the world, the Bay of Kotor, lies the town of Herceg Novi, immersed in its luxurious vegetation. Surrounded by walls and six-century-old fortresses, Herceg Novi speaks with its history, culture, fascinating nature and splendour. Its streets, built in 1382, testify about many nations and civilizations that left deep traces, which made Herceg Novi a place of intertwining cultures and traditions.

The Sun shines more than 200 days per year over its squares, steps and gardens making it a city of a highest average temperature on the Adriatic coast.

The hinterland of the Herceg Novi municipality, 50km long, with pebble and therapeutic beaches, with sea-bathing cliffs, bordered by pine and olive trees, tamarisk, cradles a string of romantic Mediterranean villages, where even today they produce olive oil in old mills, and keep the bearberries’ brandy in taverns. They produce home-made cheese and the most traditional smoked ham called “Prsut”.

The slopes of the Orjen mountain dominate above the city. February is an interesting month in the area. Snowy peaks of the Orjen make a fantastic background for the traditional mask-carnival and flower festival performed on the coast, while the performers are enjoying the cuddling of the warm air at the average temperature of 18 degrees at this time of the year.

The landscape of the city, besides the Mediterranean flora, included more than 250 types of exotic plants brought from different continents, which makes Herceg Novi a unique botanical garden.
