Climb the serpentine road out of the Bay of Kotor to Montenegro's spiritual summit — the Njegoš Mausoleum at 1,657 m, with a view that reaches from the coast to the Albanian mountains. A private driver, all day, at your pace.
A private round-trip from Kotor with your driver waiting at the top — from €150 per vehicle. Fuel, tolls, and an English-speaking driver included; entry fees and lunch are extra.
Your driver collects you in Kotor and starts the climb straight away: the Kotor serpentine, roughly 25 hairpin bends switchbacking up the mountain wall behind the bay. Each turn opens a wider view over Boka Kotorska — it's one of the great drives in the Balkans, and reason enough for the trip.
At the top the road enters Lovćen National Park. The centrepiece is the Njegoš Mausoleum on Jezerski Vrh (1,657 m) — the tomb of Montenegro's poet-ruler Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, reached by 461 steps through a tunnel, with a 360° platform on top looking out over the whole country. On the way up or down, most trips stop at the village of Njeguši, the birthplace of the Petrović dynasty and the home of Montenegro's famous pršut (smoked ham) and cheese.
Because it's private, the day is yours: linger at the viewpoints, take the Njeguši tasting slowly, or add the Kotor old town on the way back. Your driver waits throughout and brings you back door-to-door.
