Regions of Montenegro and their capitals

Montenegro is divided into municipalities, and the map draws them from Natural Earth data. Several new municipalities have been created in recent years, so the borders on the map may not match the current official ones.

The divisions on the map come from Natural Earth and may not reflect the latest territorial reform in Montenegro.

Geography of Montenegro

Montenegro covers 13,883 km² (5,360 sq mi) and is very mountainous. Behind a narrow coastal strip, the limestone Dinaric Alps rise steeply, forming a rocky karst landscape of bare plateaus, sinkholes and caves. In the north, high ranges such as Durmitor and Bjelasica hold glacial lakes and dark forests. The highest point, Zla Kolata, reaches 2,534 m (8,314 ft) in the Prokletije range on the border with Albania. Between the mountains lies the Zeta plain around Podgorica, the country's main lowland.

The Bay of Kotor cuts deep into the mountains and looks like a fjord, although it is actually a drowned river canyon. In the north, the Tara River has carved one of the deepest canyons in Europe, and the Piva and Morača also flow through gorges. In the south, Lake Skadar, shared with Albania, is the largest lake in the Balkans. The coast has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers, while the northern highlands have cold, snowy winters.
