What To Expect

There are many reasons to visit this old Montenegrin city with a history of more than 2,000 years. This city has a lot to offer and there's a lot more to discover.

 

From Ancient Ruins to Golden Sands: Bar to Ulcinj
This sun-drenched day trip takes you from the historic strongholds of Bar to the oriental charm and expansive beaches of Ulcinj. Expect a blend of medieval fortresses, 2,000-year-old nature, and some of the Adriatic’s most unique coastal culture.
 
1. Stari Bar: The "Pompeii of Montenegro"
Step back in time at the Old Town of Bar (Stari Bar), an ancient hilltop settlement nestled under Mount Rumija.
  • What to See: Explore the sprawling ruins of the Venetian fortress, see the massive stone aqueduct, and walk through the atmospheric Bazaar lined with stone-walled shops.
  • Highlights: Catch panoramic views of the modern city and port from the ancient battlements.
 
2. Stara Maslina: A Living Monument
Just minutes from Stari Bar, visit the Old Olive Tree (Stara Maslina).
  • What to See: One of the oldest trees in Europe, estimated to be over 2,000 years old.
  • The Legend: Local tradition says that feuding families would reconcile under its branches, earning it the nickname "the place of peace."
 
3. Valdanos Bay: The Olive Grove Valley
As you head toward Ulcinj, the road snakes through the emerald valley of Valdanos.
  • What to See: A dramatic, horseshoe-shaped bay home to nearly 30,000 ancient olive trees, some of which have been standing for centuries.
 
4. Ulcinj: The Pirate Capital
Experience the unique, oriental vibe of Ulcinj, a city once famous for its legendary pirates and bustling slave trade.
  • Ulcinj Old Town: Wander through a fortress shaped like a ship. Look for the Balšića Tower and the Slave Market, where Cervantes was allegedly held captive.
  • Ladies’ Beach: A famous women-only cove known for its healing sulfur springs and therapeutic waters.
  • Long Beach (Velika Plaža): Be awed by the sheer scale of this 13km sandy beach, the longest on the Adriatic. It is a world-class hub for kitesurfing and ends at the bohemian Ada Bojana river delta.

Would you like to add a lunch stop at a seafood restaurant on the Bojana River or perhaps a visit to the Ulcinj Salina to spot the local flamingos?
