Did you know that the second-deepest canyon in the world, behind only the Grand Canyon, is located in a small country in Eastern Europe?

This country is Montenegro.

Montenegro is a small Eastern European country located on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. The Tara River Canyon is located in the northern part of the country near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it is a striking 4,300 feet deep at its deepest point. Known for its sun-soaked beaches and named for its beautiful mountains, Montenegro has a lot of beautiful sights and destinations to discover.

While its capital city of Podgorica is a nice place to visit, Montenegro’s top destinations all tend to be on the smaller side. Kotor is known for its sheer beauty and epic hikes, the coastal town of Budva is known for its nightlife, and the northern Durmitor National Park is famous for being an incredible place to go hiking and camping. Regardless of where you choose to visit in Montenegro, you’re in for a treat.
