• 20:5520:55, 8 October 2024 diff hist −124 m Ulcinj Tweaks to the English as think much of this is translation or written by non-native speaker. Not clear why citation would be needed for statement that it has beaches - surely a "Paris is the capital of France" type assertion obvious to anyone who has set foot in the place. Tag: Visual edit

I've rewritten the first para to include the data from the old second para and to remove waffle about eating in a restaurant before a concert. I've added the new venues from the Fodor's guide. TBH I'm not sure that this really justifies an entry of its own. Tag: Visual edit
