Product Description
A hidden corner of eastern Europe, Montenegro lies across the Adriatic Sea from Italy, its stark mountains rising up from the coast. It offers superb, year-round, eco-adventure and sports facilities. Medieval architectural gems vie for attention with more recent Venetian fortresses and churches, reflecting the diversity of Montenegrin culture. Along the eastern border lies Lake Skadar, a nature lover's dream with national park status. Updated throughout, this edition has all the practical information the independent traveller needs, including new hotels and restaurants on the coast and in the mountains. Outdoor and cultural enthusiasts will enthuse over the extended coverage on national parks, fishing opportunities and archaeological finds.

Having just written a poor review for the Bradt Bosnia guide, this guide is quite a contrast and in my opinion excellent. Bradt gives their authors more freedom than other guides which means each book might not be to everyone's tastes or expectations from the series. Annalisa Rellie to me struck the perfect balance between showing a passion for the country (something often lacking in factual RG/LP guides) yet providing comprehensive and concise information. I did think that there was detailed information about the beaches, although I prefer hiking and found the descriptions of Durmitor and areas around Skadar lake to be very useful and informative. Montenegro is a very small country and we actually walked a large chunk of the coast in a couple of hours one afternoon. I also liked the inserted stories and reader feedback along the way, and Rellie's dose wit without being arrogant like I somtimes find LP authors (there's apparently a humouress twist on the tourist board slogan: "Visit Monetenegro - your car is already here!"). I used public transport and did find the practical information very helpful, although Bradt guides are always going to be phyisically shorter than a RG. I like the independence that Bradt guides give you by providing information on lots of places rather than just hand holding with fine detail on only a few places. And I also simply enjoyed the style of writing of Rellie - very enjoyable.

I visited Montenegro a few years ago, and I'm hoping to go again soon. This guide is a splendid introduction, well-researched and full of valuable information. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone contemplating a visit.

I bought this book before my trip to Montenegro, trying to find all sorts of information, from hotels to sights and other spots of interest. Not only did it help me find myself a decent accomodation in the always crowded Budva area, but it also helped me find useful information on getting around and seeing other parts of the country by train. Most of the prices listed were still the same, so it's pretty up-to-date. The only disadvantage is that some maps it contains are a bit oversimplified, so they are not that useful when you actually start wondering in a city. It could deserve even 5 stars, but I give it 4 because of the maps.

Good for those on a Saga holiday
Sorry, but this book has very obviously been written by a middle aged, middle class woman who has a bit of a 19th century view on the world. Read more

Montenegro through rose-tinted spectacles
Annalisa's book is the only guide you are likely to find which focuses entirely on Montenegro. However, approach with caution. Read more

Are you Annelisa Rellie?
I can't believe that anyone who read this book and went to Montengro would think it was good. The maps are awful. The practical information is rubbish. Read more
