Montenegro is a small Southeast European country on the Balkan Peninsula with a population of about 633,000 people, bordered by five countries and the Adriatic Sea. It matters as a regional player in the Balkans with its own distinct identity, centered around the capital city Podgorica and the culturally significant former capital Cetinje.

While Montenegro may be a small country, it has so much diverse history and nature to see. There are stunning mountainous landscapes, dramatic coastlines, historic monuments and truly beautiful walled towns. The Montenegro coast is just as gorgeous as that of its better known neighbour, Croatia, and it is for good reason that its main tourist destinations get crowded in summer. Nevertheless, if you can't visit at another time, don't let their popularity hold you back. Even the largest of cruise ship crowds will not stop you from enjoying this country's magnificent Riviera and Medieval coast towns, especially if you're willing to get up early and do your sightseeing ahead of the others.
Of the country's many churches and monasteries, the Serbian Orthodox Ostrog Monastery deserves special attention. It's spectacularly located against a practically vertical background, some 10 km from Danilovgrad. Founded in the 17th century, it's one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations on the Balkans and boasts a magnificent view over the Bjelopavlići plain.
thumb|Njeguški pršut Apart from the hotels located in towns and summer resorts offering half-board and full-board accommodation, and those along the roads and communication lines such as restaurants, pizza places, taverns, fast food restaurants and cafes, there is a choice of national restaurants offering traditional Montenegrin cuisine.
In addition to the standard European and Mediterranean cuisine, Montenegro offers a variety of healthy food products and local specialities.
Cold hors-d'oeuvres include the famous njeguški pršut (smoked ham) and njeguški cheese, pljevaljski cheese, mushrooms, donuts and dried bleak. The main courses specific for the northern mountainous region are boiled lamb, lamb cooked in milk, cicvara in fresh milk cream (buttered corn porridge), boiled potatoes with cheese and fresh cream. A selection of traditional recipes of the central and coastal parts will include the kastradina (dried mutton), smoked and fresh carp (from Skadar lake) and a variety of fresh sea fish and seafood dishes. Donuts served with honey and dried figs are traditional desserts in these parts of Montenegro.
黑山(蒙特內哥羅語:Црна Гора/Crna Gora,直译:黑色的山)是位於歐洲巴尔干半岛西南部、亞得里亞海東岸上的一個多山國家。黑山的東北為塞爾維亞,東為科索沃(2008年2月17日单方面宣布独立),東南為阿爾巴尼亞,西北為波士尼亞與赫塞哥維納以及克羅埃西亞,西南則為亞得里亞海(為地中海的其中一個部分)。 黑山原为1910年建立的黑山王国,一战后加入新成立的塞尔维亚人、克罗地亚人和斯洛文尼亚人王国,二战時期軸心國入侵南斯拉夫,黑山成為意大利的保護國,後納粹德國佔領、盟軍解放。二战后成为南斯拉夫社會主義聯邦共和國的六个加盟共和国之一,南斯拉夫的四个加盟国(斯洛維尼亞、克羅埃西亞、波士尼亞與赫塞哥維納、馬其頓)在1990年代初独立后,黑山和塞尔维亚成为了南斯拉夫仅存的两个加盟共和国。2003年,南斯拉夫聯盟共和國决定放弃“南斯拉夫”的国名,改称塞尔维亚和黑山。2006年5月21日,黑山舉行公民投票,獨立派以55.5%的得票比例在投票中險勝;同年6月3日,黑山國會正式宣佈獨立,同時成为联合国会员国。2017年6月5日,黑山加入北約,成為該組織第29個會員國。

thumb|Police car in Montenegro Montenegro is generally a safe country. There is, like all countries in the world, criminal activities, but police forces are generally fast in their duties. The number is 122, as well as the international distress call 112. When travelling in the areas bordering Kosovo, it is recommended you keep to the main roads. Unexploded landmines may remain along the Kosovo border. You should also avoid areas where there is military activity.
In the resort towns such as Kotor, Budva, Sveti Stefan and Herceg Novi, beggars and pickpockets are not uncommon. As in many other European locations, beggars are part of organized crime groups. Do not give them money. Doing so may also make you a target for more aggressive approaches. Always carry your bags in the safest way, slung around your shoulder with the pouch in front (with your money carried under your clothing) where you can keep your arm or hand across it.
Sea urchins are small, globular, spiny sea creatures that cover much of the sea floor off the coast of Montenegro. This isn't a bad thing being as they only gather in super clear water. It's a good idea to wear sea socks or something to cover your feet while walking through the water. Also, if you snorkel, be careful and ensure you don't brush up against the ones on the sides of the rocks.
Montenegrins are not safe drivers. You will often feel as though you are competing for road space with aggressive drivers who have little regard for your or their …
Tap water is generally drinkable, though in some small towns it may be better to avoid it.
Short pants are usually not permitted inside public institutions (hospitals, etc.) Wear modest clothing when visiting monasteries and churches.
At beaches, taking off the bottom piece of a swimsuit will likely create a stir and is generally reserved for designated nude beaches.
When toasting and clinking glasses, look the opposite person in the eyes or else it may be taken as a sign of disrespect.
Being visibly drunk is a sign of bad taste and character in Montenegro: you may be invited to drink gallons but you're expected to be able to hold it. People also usually prefer to sip their liquor instead of emptying it "bottoms-up" style. Be careful: rakija, a plum spirit, is probably going to be stronger than you expect (usually about 53% alcohol content) and will make you drunk fast!
