Montenegro | Links

The sites listed on this page are specifically about Montenegro. Although tourism is important to Montenegro's economy the focus seems to be very much on package tours - information for independent travellers is not always easy to get hold of. Many of the more general sites listed in the Overview of the Balkans are also useful for planning a trip to Montenegro.
