ABOUT CITY
Ulcinj is a town on the southern coast of Montenegro and the capital of Ulcinj Municipality. As one of the oldest settlements in the Adriatic coast, it was founded in 5th century BC.
Ulcinj is a tourist destination in summer. In January 2010,
the New York Times named ranked the south coast region
of Montenegro, featuring Velika Plaza and Ada Bojana, as
one of “The Top 31 Places to Go in 2010”.
It is most famous for its sandy beaches. The most valuable resource of the Ulcinj Riviera is Velika plaža (English: Long Beach), which is a 12 km long stretch of sandy beach and the longest beach on the Montenegrin coast. There is a small pebble beach called Ladies Beach which folk tradition holds to have qualities conducive to fertility.
“The Korzo”, as it is called by locals, is a promenade which separates a street lined with coffee shops from Mala plaža. At night during the summer months, the Korzo is pedestrianised and families and young people gather.
Ulcinj’s old town is a well preserved castle-looking community that is left over from medieval times. The old
town sits atop a mountain overlooking the shore and is a tourist attraction on its own.
Ada Bojana is popular among foreign tourists from Western Europe for its peace and atmosphere. A large naturist campsite is located in Ada Bojana.
