  • Montenegro is one of the roughest terrains in Europe. When booking a hiking tour of Montenegro, make sure to train before you arrive.
  • One of the top attractions of Montenegro are its churches. When packing for Montenegro, make sure to include pants, dresses, and shirts to cover your shoulders out of respect.
  • San Giovanni Fortress in Kotor is a top Montenegro attraction. If you wish to see the best views in Kotor, you will have to climb up the fortress walls including many staircases. Make sure to pack comfortable shoes for this long hike.
  • You don’t need a visa to visit Montenegro, but you will have to register with the local government within 24 hours of your arrival or you may be fined.
  • If you wish to combine Montenegro with other Balkan countries, there are many tour companies specializing in Western Balkans, where Montenegro is located.

Additional details

Where is Montenegro?

Montenegro is located in southeastern Europe, or commonly known as the Balkans, on the Adriatic Sea coast. Montenegro is surrounded by other Balkan countries of Croatia, Albania, and Serbia.

Is Montenegro Safe?

In one word, yes. Montenegro is very safe for families and solo travelers alike. Also, the people of Montenegro are known for their warm and friendly nature to all visitors.

Montenegro has a very rich religious history and some of its most historic sites are churches and mosques. It’s recommended to when visiting religious buildings to dress appropriately out of respect.

Also, as Montenegro has some very popular tourist sites, you should be aware of pickpocketers in the busier areas.

Montenegro Weather

Montenegro has two main landscapes, the coast and the mountains, that affects its climate. The coastal regions of the country have a typical Mediterranean climate with dry, warm summers and cool winters.

If you are traveling farther inland and visiting the mountainous regions of the country, you should expect cooler climates all year round with snow during the winter. Skiiers and snowboarders will enjoy the snowy mountain resorts of Kolasin and Zabljak.

The shoulder seasons, spring and fall, are also determined by the terrain. Shoulder seasons on the coast are very mild, while the mountains are cooler and rainier.

A Few Travel Tips for Montenegro

The Euro isn’t used in most of the countries in the Balkans with the countries retaining their own national currency. However, Montenegro does use the Euro. If you are on a tour of the Balkans and Montenegro is included, make sure to bring along some Euros for your time in the country.

With Montenegro using the Euro, the price of food and hotels are higher priced than other Balkan countries, but are still low compared to Western Europe.

Montenegro is very mountainous. Two of the countries most famous cities, Kotor and Budva, are both at the base of mountains next to the water. The Montenegro culture is intertwined in this dual landscape with their culture being derived from the sea and mountains.

For those who do get motion sickness, it is recommended to pack any medication to help if your tour will be driving through Montenegro from the surrounding countries.

While Montenegro is a Balkan country, the Montenegro culture is heavily influenced by Italy. The Venetian and Roman Empires both had a strong hold on this are of Europe, and had a hand in building some of the most famous sites in Montenegro.

Montenegro Arrival Registration

While most citizens of countries don’t need a visa to visit Montenegro up to 90 days, you do have to register with the authorities. You have 24 hours after your arrival to register with the local government or there is a possibility you may be fined or deported. Also, included in the registration is a fee for how many days you will be in Montenegro.

If you are staying in a hotel, the hotel will register for you. However, if you are arriving early before your tour, you will need to register yourself at the local government office.

Double check with your tour company before you arrive to see if you will need to register yourself or if your tour company or hotel will register for you.

Best Time to Visit Montenegro

July to August has the best weather to visit Montenegro. The temperature is above 85 degrees with plenty of sunshine. However, this is also when the cities and beaches will be the most crowded. Montenegro is a very popular cruise destination and the late-summer is one of the busiest times of the year for cruises.  

One of the best times to visit Montenegro is in May and the early part of June.  The weather will be warm, but the crowds will be less, making it the perfect time for a getaway! This is also the best time to visit Montenegro on an active tour. The cooler temperatures are ideal for hiking and bike riding through the mountains of Montenegro.

Who will like Traveling to Montenegro?

Nature enthusiasts will have a hay day in Montenegro. The entire country is a postcard waiting to happen. While some countries have metal skyscrapers, Montenegro has the Dinaric Alps stretching to touch the clouds.

But don’t forget about the water! Montenegro has 182 miles of coastline with Budva and Kotor providing some of the best coastal views in all of Montenegro.

Montenegro is also perfect for the active traveler. With its rugged terrain, Montenegro is the ideal destination for hikers and bicyclists looking to an enjoy an adventure holiday.

History lovers will also enjoy the medieval old towns of Kotor and Budva. These historic little cities are filled with small shops, cafes, and plenty of Byzantine churches to visit.
