With new flight routes, the tourist board working hard to promote the country, considerable investment in infrastructure (notably the Bar–Belgrade motorway) and European Union membership fast approaching (expected 2028), Montenegro’s popularity is on the rise. The country’s dramatic interior boasts high peaks, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, deep forests and mighty canyons, while the magnificent Lake Skadar is the Balkan’s’ largest inland water body. The Via Dinarica and Peaks of the Balkans Peaks long-distance trails both pass through Montenegro and are drawing increasing numbers of hikers, while adventure sports – climbing, skiing, mountain biking, ziplining, sea kayaking, coasteering and white-water rafting, to name a few – form an increasingly significant part of the country’s appeal. Montenegrin wine, too, is attracting a growing band of devotees, while beaches such as Mogren and Petrovac rank among the Adriatic’s finest.
Published in the year that Montenegro celebrates the 20th anniversary of its independence from Serbia, this new edition of Bradt’s Montenegro has been thoroughly updated by Philip Briggs, one of the world’s most experienced and prolific guidebook writers. It incorporates all major recent developments, from practical information on where to go, stay and eat to vivid descriptions, historical insights and in-depth background on both well-known and off-the-beaten track sights.

作者简介
A specialist travel-guidebook writer on Balkan and eastern European countries – Norm Longley has written guides to Hungary, Slovenia and Romania as well as co-authoring Bradt’s Montenegro – his first forays into Montenegro came in the late 1990s when living and working in Serbia. He would often jump on the Belgrade to Podgorica train for long weekends in the country, which included numerous, unsuccessful, attempts to ski. Since then he has repeatedly visited the country, witnessing the many remarkable changes in recent years.
Following her childhood education in a seaside convent, Annalisa Rellie studied theatre at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, after which the casting couch of early marriage spared her an actor’s breadline and led to a quarter of a century happily exploring the world with her diplomat husband. When they settled back in London she turned her hand to journalism, writing in a freelance capacity for magazines about travel and food, including authoring the first four editions of Bradt’s Montenegro guidebook. She died in 2014.
Philip Briggs (philipbriggs.com) is one of the world’s most experienced and prolific guidebook writers. He has been exploring the highways, byways and backwaters of Africa since 1986 – and has since expanded into Asia, South America and Europe. During the 1990s, he wrote a series of pioneering Bradt guides to destinations that were then – and some still are – otherwise practically uncharted by the travel publishing industry. These included the first dedicated guidebooks to Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana and Rwanda, all of which are regularly updated for new editions. More recently, he authored the first dedicated English-language guidebooks to Somaliland and Suriname, and he has written or updated Bradt guides to Sri Lanka, North Macedonia, The Peloponnese and Montenegro – the latter a country he has long wanted to visit to explore its beautiful coastline and mountains. When not travelling, he lives in the sleepy South African village of Wilderness.
