Republic of Montenegro Travel Forum

Myself & my friend are 2 straight 50+ guys going on 30. We will be in Montenegro next April for 2 nights only before moving on to Dubrovnik, and need to choose between Kotor or Budva as a base.

We're not interested in beaches, but appreciate scenery and like to walk round during the day and stop for a coffee or beer on a terrace and watch the world go by. In the evening we like to have a few drinks in several good pubs or bars, meet people and have a laugh until 12 or 1 a.m.

The worst thing that could happen is that we choose the wrong place and it is dead at 10 p.m.

Should we go to Kotor or Budva?

All suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi everbody!I would like to know where I can go to hicking with a tent in Montenegro in the middle of november.I prefer Kotor and it's surround.Could somebody help me?

I need to fly to Montenegro this summer and would like to plan ahead and get a good deal on airfare. Does anyone have any advice on how to plan this and purchase my airfare in advance in order to save some money? We are planning on flying into either Tivat, Montenegro or Dubrovnik, Croatia. Presently there will be 2 adults and 2 children flying.

we have only 4 days in montenegro. We dont know where to prioritize. Which cities you would suggest if you are coming from Sarajevo and leaving for Dubrovnik? we are coming next week. How is the whether, can we swim? the trip should be all beach oriented..
thanks..

I will be in Kotor, Budva and other places in Montenegro in September 2009. What are realistic rates available for renting a room (just by looking for signs and asking) in a house?

I made the trip last year by taxi from Podgarica to Skodra and would like to
return to Albania and try the other route. Does anyone know the price of taxi from
Ulcinj to Skodra and is there a direct minibus between the 2 places? Also any tips about what a private room might cost now, in and out of season?
Thx..I think that part of the world is `Shoom bokor` ..

Dear all, does anyone know about the daily bus schedule during summer time for the following routes? I couldn't search from the website because the website onlt showed "Bandwith exceeded".

2. Fron Mijeljina to Mostar

3. From Mostar to Budva

4. From Budva to Podgorica

5. From Podgorica to Belgrade

Thanks for your help!

I would enjoy having great information to dive in Bay of kotors or around.
Does someone know who could organised it for 2 people?

Moreover, I would enjoy having ionformation to rent a car or a jeep and also good hostels/Backpekkers in Kotors and in Durmitor Park, I used to see Hotels but I would prefer guest house in order to meet people.. My budget is also limited.

Many Thanks in advance for answering.

Good futur travels to you.

Hi, we're planning a trip to Montenegro and Albania for appr. 12 days. Can you get to the highlights by public transport? Is it reliable and easy to use or would you advise to go by car?

thanks! Masha

Hi, I will be flying to Dubrovnik Airport on Sunday 9th August, and will be looking to reach Budva for a weeks holiday before returning to Dubrovnik Airport on the Sunday 16th August.

Please could anyone advise on the travel links? I was under the impression there were regular bus journeys between Dubrovnik and Budva, but now it appears they are not as regular, and possibly not running at all on Sunday. Would there be any trains / buses running from either the airport, Cavtat, or Dubrovnik to Budva on the Sunday? And returning the following Sunday?

If so, should we book ahead?

Many thanks for any help.

For information, our plane arrives at Dubrovnik airport at 17:00, so we are hard pushed to get to Budva. The return departs the airport at 18:00 so more time on the 2nd Sunday to get back to the airport.

Hi! Can you recommend some nice campsites with direct beach access? We have a small tent.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! We're planning to be in Kotor for a few days in August. How is the swimming in the bay? Is it clean? We don't care about sandy beaches and actually prefer rocks. Are they other nearby areas worth looking into for swimming? And any suggestions for nude beaches/rocky areas as well?

Thanks!

Thanks for any help

When in Montenegro, I stayed in an auto camp just past Sveti Stefan on the right. At the bottom of the camp there was a small restaurant. I've posted this in my tips, but I'd really like to know if there's a name for it. Also, I enjoyed talking to the guy's from Serbia that were working in there, so ultimately I'd like to see if there's contact information available somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the Ada Bojana Resort open all year?

If not, please provide its period of operation.

Thank you,

RR

Hello folks,

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who might be interested in a travel companion for Montenegro in August?

Montenegro is a perfect compact country for nature lovers and for hiking.
If we'll be 2-4 people we can rent a car. Anyway I'm flexible, hitch-hiking is an option.
Locals' companions is more than welcomed.

Hi! Iam planning a one month holyday (from 19th of May) in Montenegro. Would you recommend some nice places with SANDY BEACH? I will go with two sons of 4 and 9 y.o. - so we will need some kids' environment there.

I would appreciate ANY help or suggestions from you. Dobra Voda? Ultsin? Or any other place?

If you give an advice - how to rent appartment there - that would be great!
Thank you in advance!
Julia and sons

Howdy Y'All,

I'm contemplating visiting Montenegro in July/August. While I've heard that it's a beautiful country, I'm struggling to find much more detail beyond that.

Could someone provide some highlights, whether it's worth a visit, for how long and is it cheap/expensive?

I'm also thinking of visiting Croatia, where would be more enjoyable?

Hi all, a group of 5 of us will be in budva 1 july and we woud like to go to Ostrog.

Thanks for your help Branka

Hello folks,

in finding Vegetarian Restaurants.

Any recommendations will be much appreciated.

Hello,

Does anyone have information on bus schedules from Podgorica to Rozaje? We are hoping to get from Kotor to Peja (in Kosovo) by bus. Looks like taking a bus from Kotor to Podgorica will be easy. I have also found bus information on getting to Barane, but nothing on schedules to Rozaje.

Anyone have any information? We're thinking once we get to Rozaje, we can taxi over the border to Peja.

Planning on taking a trip next summer around the region. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the easiest way from either Budva or Kotor to Prishtina. Are there regular bus routes? Would it make more sense to first get a bus to Podgorica? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
We are planning to spend a week in either Stoliv or Prcanj in September and have a young child, we think both are quite tranquil and picturesque but want to go to the one with more variety of local restaurants and the village that is more ideal for young children. Does anyone have any experience of either of these villages? Also, being in a bay do these villages have limited sun!! Thanks for you help!!

I read on this forum that there was a tour group that ran buses down to Tirana (via Skhoder) for tours and then comes back to Budva. I am looking for one way travel on this, and wanted to know if this bus still exists. I do not really care about the tours themeselves, just want easier transport than taking minibuses even if it costs more. Does anyone know the name of the company that does this and if it runs daily (it will be in mid June)?

Thanks

I'm visiting Montenegro in June.Can anyone suggest me rent-a-car agency in Montenegro? I heard about Terrae-car and visited their web site and they look good.I prefer small cars because thay are cheaper but if there are better offers for 40 euros that would be fine.

Many thanks in advance,
