Cycling day trip from Tivat to Herceg Novi

Ready for a stunning coastal ride? This route takes you from the lively port town of Tivat to the charming old streets of Herceg Novi—a scenic journey along Montenegro’s beautiful Adriatic shoreline.

The ride is about 24 kilometers and mostly follows quiet, paved roads, so you’ll have plenty of moments to soak in the views without too much traffic stress. You’ll tackle a bit of climbing, with just over 400 meters of ascent, but the highest point is only around 212 meters up, so it’s manageable, especially with those sea breezes.

Tivat, known for its upscale Porto Montenegro marina, is a great starting point if you want a coffee or snack before setting out. Once on your way, you’ll wind past vistas of lush hills and turquoise water, passing through small coastal villages. Eventually, you’ll coast down into Herceg Novi, famous for its fortress, historic center, and palm-lined promenades—perfect to reward yourself with some gelato or a quick dip in the sea. Bring your camera; you’ll want to remember these views!
