City tour

Herceg Novi city tour-A journey through the past, a narrow-gauge railway and fortresses

The content of the tour is an overview of Herceg Novi municipality, to all those points where the cultural and historical pillars of this city rest. The idea of the tour is to introduce us, along the route that the Ciro train used to take, to all the details that one coastal town sets apart from other, similar coastal towns in the bay. For example, Herceg Novi occupies an important historical place when it comes to fortification segments and the position given to it, and in this regard are interesting four fortresses, the Citadel, Forte-Mare, Kanli Kula(The Bloody Tower) and Spanjola. Although once powerful military fortifications, these towers today represent a significant tourist and entertainment offer of the city,but also a sporting event that is at the very top of sporting events of importance to the city. It is Skalinada(Steps race), a sporting event that is trying to connect all the towers with its route.
