By day, holidays to Ulcinj invite you to stroll along biscuit-coloured sands and go behind ancient castle walls. By night, al fresco concerts and dusk-‘til-dawn bars vie for your attention.
An Adriatic veteran
Ulcinj’s old town is a spider web of slim-line streets, cobbled plazas and high stone ramparts – some of which date back over 2,500 years. The Illyrians kick-started things in the 6th century, and since then the Greeks, the Romans and the Ottomans have all left their mark. Keep your camera at the ready to snap the Tower of Balsic, Slave Square and the Venetian Palace. From some angles, the town’s walls make it look like a stranded ship that’s become part of the shoreline.
Model landscapes
Montenegro’s home to some of the best beaches on the Adriatic coast, and Ulcinj comes with more than its fair share. Copacabana Beach comes with a celebrity following – Rita Ora and Lewis Hamilton have both pulled up sunloungers here – and aptly named Long Beach stretches out for over 13 kilometres. Sandy sweeps aren’t the only contenders for postcard-perfect views, though – Valdanos Cove boasts a 2,000-year-old olive grove, and the Ulcinjska Salina salt pan’s home to one of Europe’s only wild flamingo colonies.
A pick ‘n’ mix night scene
Around-the-clock opening hours are common in Ulcinj – alongside the pubs and clubs, even coffee shops, ice-creameries and restaurants keep their doors open until the early hours. Beach bars jostle for position just metres from the sand, so you can’t go wrong heading down to the seafront promenade after dark.
