Besides being Montenegro's main seaport, Bar (Italian: Antivari / Antibari, Albanian: Tivari, Greek: Θηβάριον, Thivárion, Αντιβάριον, Antivàrion, Latin: Antibarium) and its surroundings are also a major tourist destination. Today's Bar is a modern city, built almost entirely after World War II, with modern buildings, wide boulevards and lots of parking space. The entire area around Bar is mostly untoutched nature, and is rich in vegetation. Adjacent to the main harbor there is a relatively small Marina that accommodates small boats.

Tourism

Visit the very old olive tree that is called Mirovica. They believe that it is 2.000 year old and that it is one of the oldest olive trees in the world. It has been declared a national monument since 1975 and it is one of the “must see” sights in the area. After seeing that sight visit another historical and cultural monument of the 19th century, the palace of King Nicholas. Nicholas was the one and only king of Montenegro. The palace is by the shore, almost next to the marina. Within the palace there is the County Museum which houses the most important archaeological items of the area. In its garden are planted very rare trees and exotic plants. These create a unique historical and environmental ambiance.

Make sure to walk in the picturesque old town. In addition to the old town is an large and well preserved Bar Aqueduct constructed during the 16th century - 17th century.
