01Coast, stone streets and walks in green spaces
A seaside walk on the Pet Danica promenade
The Pet Danica promenade follows the coast from Igalo towards Meljine. At Skver, you pass the town harbour and boats, while swimming spots and coastal neighbourhoods line the shore further along. For a shorter family outing, you can stay around Skver, beside the harbour with views of the bay.

Stone steps and squares in the Old Town
From Nikola Djurkovic Square, the passage beneath the Clock Tower (Sat kula) leads into the Old Town. The walk continues along stone steps and through passages between the squares towards Belavista. Inside the tower passage is a relief of King Tvrtko seated on a stone chair.

Walking and resting beneath the pergola in Park Boka
In Park Boka, you walk among palms and evergreen magnolias. A pergola with wisteria runs through the centre of the garden, providing shade, and there is a fountain with a sculpture. The terraces look towards the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and Lustica.
The park is laid out on steep, terraced ground. More about Park Boka · View on map.
Forest paths and views in Savinska dubrava
Savinska dubrava stretches along a wooded ridge between Herceg Novi and Meljine. Winding paths pass through pines, cypresses and other Mediterranean vegetation, leading to viewpoints over the Bay of Kotor. Savina Monastery is in the same woodland area.
The walk follows slopes and forest paths, so the terrain differs from the waterfront promenade. Savinska dubrava and the town parks · Area on the map.

Amphorae and maritime objects at the City Museum
At the Mirko Komnenovic City Museum in Topla, you can see amphorae, ceramic vessels and other finds from ships' cargoes and wrecks.

Questions about a family stay in Herceg Novi
Which of these outings can we choose when it rains?
At the City Museum in Topla, you can see the collections inside the museum house, while Dvorana Park offers films and theatre performances. Films and plays have scheduled times, so choose a programme suited to your children's ages and a language they understand.
How do the town walks differ when we bring a pushchair?
The Old Town has stone steps, Park Boka is steep and terraced, and Savinska dubrava has forest paths on a hillside. Pet Danica follows the coast, but access from streets higher in town may involve steps. When choosing a stretch of the waterfront walk, consider the route from your accommodation down to the sea as well.
Do we have to board the boat trip at Skver?
The Barba Boats Blue Cave programme has several pickup locations in Igalo, Topla and Savina, as well as the town harbour at Skver. Separate departures are also listed for Kumbor, Djenovici, Baosici and Bijela.
