About Ulcinj
Sea-facing stone walls, mosque minarets and sandy coves give Ulcinj a relaxed Adriatic character on Montenegro’s southern coast.
Ulcinj Old Town brings stone lanes, sea views and layers of Venetian and Ottoman history, while Mala Plaža sits below the walls. Velika Plaža opens onto a broad sandy shoreline, and Ada Bojana Island adds river scenery and quiet coastal landscapes.
Three to seven days leaves time for both beaches and historic streets, with Old Town or Mala Plaža offering the most central places to stay. Waterfront restaurants around Mala Plaža serve seafood risotto alongside local favorites such as burek and ćevapi.
