Hello all
Was just looking at the timetables from Podgorica to Serbia. Some good options there. If anyone knows what towns the bus to Nis passes through that would be great. Also, how long is the journey? I'm guessing it's going to be around the 8 hour mark!?
Thank you all!

ANYONE HAVE INFO ON A GOOD PRIVATE GUIDE IN KOTOR?

As I've now ascertained the road train no longer runs between Becici and Budva (Big shame) is there a bus service between the two? Thanks

Does the road train still run from Budva to Becici?

I have only one day to see Montenegro -- 29 April -- I am enquiring about hiring a taxi, picking me up at the Ulcinj bus station (arriving by bus or furgon around 09:00) I would like the taxi for 11 hours, with short stops in Bar, Petrovec, Sveti Stefan, Budva, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Perast, Podgorica (if time permits) and finishing back at Ulcinj at 20:00. Taxi driver is not expeted to be a guide and it does not have to be able to speak English.

Anyone ever done this route? I'm hoping to drive a hire car between these 2 places and was wondering on the best route. Also, what are the border formalities like? Are there any issues i should be aware of?

Cheers

I have two days that I would like to spend on or around Lake Skadar. Can anyone offer suggestions on a good way to spend that time? Would like to see any historic sites of note and am open to boating, kayaking, hiking, etc. and traveling by car from Albania.

Hello all So I have read that Cetinje is the true capital of Montenegran culture. If so, then surely this city is worth a visit!!! :) I will be spending a night in Kotor which is just down the road, so it would be foolish not to stop in for a look I think :) Will several hours be more then enough time to see the sights in Cetinje or is an overnight stay recommended? Are there many accomodation options? Also, after Cetinje, I want to get to Serbia (to Guca, to be specific) so I was wondering what the transport options are like from Cetinje. I'm guessing I will have to get to Podgorica and travel from there to Ceca in Serbia. Perhaps the knowledgable VTer's of this forum can suggest a Podgorica free alternative though? Thank you all again DG

My husband and I have never been to Asia (travels mostly in Europe, Caribbean, Mexico). Planning 3 week trip in May 2012: What do you recommend as Must Sees? Want to think practical and get most out of travels (don't need to fly from one end to the other far end). Would like taste of OLD/NEW/quaint and charming/hot baths/some exotic. Maybe one gorgeous beach. I am sure the scenery will be a big deal. What do you recommend? Don't want to rush around, quality and enjoyment are most important. Quality does not mean spending -- staying on some kind of budget will be a must, too. Should we combine it with a week in Thailand or somewhere else??

Hi everyone, We're traveling around Montenegro in three weeks and we would like to climb Mount Lovcen for the great views and the Njegos mausoleum. Does anyone have an idea how far up one can go in his own car? Most websites do not clarify this, but how long a hike should we expect to the top? We're not overly enthusiastic mountain climbers and we'd rather not spend hours hiking upwards. Thanks a lot and have many great travels. Venelin
