With new flight routes opening up and the tourist board working hard to promote the country, Montenegros popularity is on the rise. The Via Dinarica and Balkan Peaks long-distance trails both pass through Montenegro and are drawing ever greater numbers, while adventure sports climbing, skiing, mountain biking, sea kayaking, coasteering, and white-water rafting, to name a few form an increasingly significant part of the countrys appeal. Montenegrin wine, too, is attracting a growing band of devotees. With medieval gems and a stark rugged beauty, the country offers something for everyone and with Bradts Montenegro you are perfectly equipped for a successful trip.
