Despite being Montenegro’s largest port, Bar is amazingly clean and has many developed green areas, with numerous attractions in the vicinity. The old town of Bar, Haj Nehaj Fortress, with the remnants from the 15th century fortress and the palace of King Nikola, represent the town’s historic and cultural monuments. It is directly connected with Italy (Bari) via a shipping line, and Serbia (Belgrade) via the scenic Belgrade-Bar railway.
