# Herceg Novi in June: What It’s Actually Like

June is genuinely one of the better times to visit Herceg Novi, and I don’t say that about many places. The temperature sits around 26°C, which means you can actually walk around the old town’s steep staircases and fortress walls without arriving at the top looking like you’ve swum there. It’s warm enough for the beach, cool enough for exploring, and the evenings are that perfect Mediterranean temperature where you want to sit outside indefinitely.

The rain figure of 60mm sounds alarming but don’t panic. June is transitional – most of that rain falls in concentrated bursts rather than grey drizzly days. You’ll probably get a few proper afternoon thunderstorms that roll in dramatically off the bay, clear within an hour, and leave everything smelling incredible. It’s not ideal if you’ve planned a rigid day-by-day itinerary, but if you’re flexible it’s barely an issue.

Crowds are manageable, which matters in a town this small. July and August turn Herceg Novi into a noticeably different place – packed with domestic tourists, prices up, the old town feeling more performative. In June you can actually have a coffee in Trg Nikole Đurkovića without fighting for a table, and the Kanli Kula fortress doesn’t feel like a queue. The beaches at Igalo and Zanjice are accessible without the full summer circus.

Everything worth visiting is open by June – restaurants, boat trips around the bay, day trips to Kotor or the Blue Cave. The hydrangeas the town is famous for are actually blooming, which gives the whole place a genuinely lovely quality that photographs don’t exaggerate.

Who is this month for? Couples, older travellers, anyone who hates crowds but still wants warmth and a functioning tourist infrastructure. Families with young kids will be fine. Party-seekers wanting buzzing nightlife should probably wait for July.

**Practical tip:** Book accommodation early anyway. Herceg Novi has a relatively small pool of good places to stay, and the decent spots fill up faster than the town’s low-key reputation suggests.
