Ramparts & legends
The museum square, towers and sea walls with their corsair stories.
Ulcinj’s clifftop kalaja was once the most feared corsair port on the Adriatic — Cervantes himself was allegedly held for ransom here. Walk the ramparts and lanes with a local guide, from the old slave square and Balšić tower to the sea walls, as the call to prayer drifts over Mala Plaža below.

Good day out
Interesting history, but the walking pace was slower than I'd like. The fortress views over the bay were breathtaking and the pace let us take photos. Our guide brought the old town's history to life with stories you won't find in a guidebook.
Really enjoyable
Loved wandering the stone lanes with someone who actually grew up here.
