Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi, with approximately 200 sunny days a year, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Montenegro.

Located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen, Herceg Novi offers to tourists a rich monumental heritage, monasteries and churches, and numerous fortifications such as Španjola, Kanli Kula, Sat Kula and famous staircase, after which it takes its nickname “City of the stairs”.

Herceg Novi was founded as a fortress in 1382 by Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I and was called Sveti Stefan or Castelnuovo. After the death of Tvrtko, Duke Sandalj Hranić of the Herzegovinian Kosačas acquired Castelnuovo. During his reign, Herceg Novi picked up trading salt, what bothered their neighbors from Dubrovnik, which in this part of Europe held a monopoly over salt trade in that time.

When Hranić died, his nephew, Herzog Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, inherited Castelnuovo. Under Stjepan, Castelnuovo expanded and thus became a city, renaming it to Herceg Novi.

The Turks conquered Herceg Novi in 1482, and ruled for 200 years, until 1687. In that period various nations and civilizations interspersed on its soil, leaving deep marks on the history, culture and overall development of the region.

Herceg Novi is known by a very rich cultural program in the summer months, which includes above all the traditional film and music festivals. Of course, the event are also organized during other months, which contributes to recognizable cultural life of the city.

Zlatibor

Zlatibor is a mountain and nature park in Serbia, covering an area of ​​about 1,000 km², 55 km long and up to 20 km wide. It stretches in a northwest-southeast direction. The highest peak of the mountain is Tornik (1,496 m).
Zlatibor is located in the northern part of the Stari Vlah region, the border region between Raška, Herzegovina and Polimlje. It covers the areas of three municipalities of the Republic of Serbia: Čajetina and a part of the municipality of Užice (Kremanska oblast) northern Zlatibor and a smaller part of the municipality of Nove Varoš (Murtenica oblast) southern Zlatibor.
Zlatibor has always had great border significance. On the Cigli hill near Jablanica, the border of Serbia with two empires — the Austro-Hungarian and the Turkish — can still be seen today. The first written traces of the name of the mountain, and this region, date back to the time of the first Serbian uprising. It is believed that the mountain was named after a very rare type of white pine, the so-called golden pine, which is under state protection.
Since it is located in the geographical center of Serbia, it is well connected to all major cities in the region. Zlatibor is located halfway between Belgrade and the Montenegrin and Dubrovnik coasts. Many important highways and railways cross it, including the Belgrade-Bar railway. The nearest major city is Užice.
Because it is a mountain of exceptional beauty and a pleasant climate, it is very suitable for various types of tourism. Zlatibor is a health spa, a recreational center, a ski resort, a center of cultural events and gatherings of people from all over.
The Zlatibor region is rich in a large number of cultural and historical monuments, among which the local churches and monasteries occupy a special place: the Jablanica church, the Uvac monastery, the Dubrava monastery, are just some of the more famous.
Excursions to the surrounding villages, on horses, carriages or off-road vehicles "quads", parties in discos and nightclubs, frequent concerts by famous musicians, recreation on tennis and golf courts, modernly equipped ski resorts, traditional local cuisine, tell us that Zlatibor is synonymous with a universal vacation.
