Muo is a small waterside village on the western shore of the bay, directly facing the Old Town. It offers some of the best views of the walls and fortress across the water, with a quiet, residential village pace that suits travellers who prize the scenery over being in the thick of things.
The village is essentially a single line of old stone houses and modest waterfront between the shore road and the bay. It's peaceful by day and evening, with the illuminated fortress across the water as the main attraction after dark, though dining and services are limited compared with the Old Town.
Getting around
It's a short drive or taxi around the bay to the Old Town walls, and a taxi-boat across the water is a scenic alternative; Tivat Airport (TIV) is roughly 15–25 minutes by car.
