Montenegro: Overview

It may be tiny but it's crammed full of culture.

Tiny Montenegro's Mediterranean coastline plays at the feet of Balkan mountains. Its walled towns and mixture of Orthodox and Catholic churches and its cultural blend of Montenegrin, Serb, Bosniak, Albanian and Croatian have survived the vicissitudes of history and are breezing in to the future.
