What are the most spectacular roads in Montenegro?

Tucked away in the Balkan Peninsula, in the southeastern part of Europe, Montenegro has more than 30 roads listed as the most spectacular in the world. At the top of the list you’ll find R1 Road. Located in the southern part of Montenegro, near the Adriatic coast, the curvy road runs from Cetinje to Kotor. With hundreds of turns, it’s one of the most famous hairpinned roads in the world.

The terrain of the country is mountainous. With notable ranges including the Dinaric Alps and the Prokletije Mountains, the weather can be pretty challenging in winters. You’ll need to search for information about the weather forecast before embarking on any journey. The P14, a scenic road above the clouds, straddling Plužine and Šavnik municipalities, is considered extremely dangerous during the winter.

If you prefer canyon roads, you can’t miss Moraca River Canyon, located in the Morača region, and Tara River Canyon, a drive through Kanjon Tare, the deepest canyon in Europe and the second deepest in the world, at 1,300m (4,300ft) deep. And taking you back a century is the road to Cakor Pass, a testament to human resilience and architectural prowess, built 100 years ago yet standing as a symbol of Montenegro's enduring spirit.
