About this tour
This session climbs out of the old town toward the fort on the hill above it, then comes back down to the water. You see the path change as it climbs, the fort's terrace looking out over the whole bay, and the palm-lined promenade at sea level on the way back. It moves from the highest point in town to the lowest in one session.
The climb takes a while so I keep the pace steady and stop often, then let the promenade section move faster once we are back at sea level. I answer questions about the bay's shape and the fort's history at whichever point they come up.
This suits anyone who wants both a view and a proper walk in one session. It also suits anyone trying to understand how the bay is laid out before exploring further along it.
Included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 6 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Herceg Novi before heading out.
-
Path to Španjola 17 min
The camera follows a steep path climbing away from the rooftops toward an Austro-Hungarian fort on the hill, and I point out how the vegetation changes the higher we climb.
-
Španjola Fortress Terrace 17 min
From the fort's terrace, the whole bay opens out below toward its mouth, and I explain why this exact point was chosen to watch for ships long before anyone built a road up here.
-
Šetalište Promenade 17 min
Back down at sea level, the camera follows a palm-lined path along the water toward the neighbouring town, and I point out how the walk connects two towns that used to feel much further apart.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Herceg Novi: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Lignje na žaru (grilled squid) and Meljine, worth a slower look.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking".

Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
