Cycling day trip from Herceg Novi to Kotor

This scenic ride takes you from the coastal charm of Herceg Novi to the historic heart of Kotor, spanning about 32 km along Montenegro’s stunning Bay of Kotor. The route is mostly paved and keeps things interesting with some climbs—so get ready for around 800 meters of ascent, but the descents are even better!

You’ll mostly cruise on quiet roads, looping through sleepy villages, olive groves, and sections where the bay’s turquoise water sparkles beside you. Don’t worry about traffic—most of the way it’s fairly tranquil, giving you time to soak up the mountain views and centuries-old stone architecture.

Herceg Novi, your starting point, is known for its sunny microclimate and lush gardens, while your grand finish in Kotor is rewarded with awe-inspiring medieval walls and vibrant Old Town squares—perfect for a celebratory gelato. This ride is a gem for anyone looking to blend Mediterranean beauty with a dash of adventure!
