Sometimes called the botanical garden of Montenegro, Hereg Novi features rare plants from all over the world, which sailors brought home from their travels. The significance of plants for this town is evident from the fact that they have a festival dedicated to mimosa, which includes lots of fun events, lasts a couple of days, carries a long tradition, and represents one of the town’s most beloved symbols. Stroll through its streets connected with endless steps and explore its plants on one of the numerous sunny days throughout the year. You will come across the beautiful Boka Park, an oasis filled with tropical plants in the heart of Herceg Novi.

In addition to lush greenery, the landscape of Herceg Novi is dominated by its imposing fortresses, each with its own story to tell.
