Ulica Njegoševa

Herceg Novi


Herceg Novi's Old Town is at its most impressive when approached from the pedestrian-only section of Ulica Njegoševa, which is paved in the same shiny marble as Dubrovnik and lined in elegant, mainly 19th-century buildings. The street terminates in cafe-ringed Trg Nikole Ðurkovića, where steps lead up to an elegant crenulated 1667 clock tower above the main city gate.
