Herceg Novi

There are many great places to stay in Herceg Novi. For the best experience, we recommend staying near the Old Town (the castle marker on the map below). If you don’t stay in the Old Town, we recommend staying near the sea along the promenade. The architecture of Herceg Novi is not as memorable as you go inland and away from the Old Town and the Bay of Kotor.
