Montenegro: tips and recommendations for tourists. Holidays in Montenegro: useful tips How much does a trip to Montenegro cost?

Safety rules

The security situation in the country is quite ambiguous. Montenegro is one of the most safe countries former Yugoslavia.

You should not carry valuables, documents or large sums money with you. You should not show your wallet in crowded places or leave things on the front seat of the car during stops. It is recommended to avoid isolated areas, including remote areas of cities, after dark. The police strictly suppress any manifestations of deception of foreign tourists, but at the everyday level there are frequent cases of petty fraud or an allegedly suddenly appeared language barrier, so you should be especially careful when discussing financial issues and never give money in advance, before the service is provided.

Hotels

The bulk of hotels and beaches in Montenegro are owned by the state (although recently many boarding houses and hotels owned by foreign companies and individuals have appeared). In Budva, Petrovac, Hercegnovi, Sutomore and Ulcinj the dominant role is played by private sector, often offering better conditions than hotels. The beaches of Montenegro are mainly sandy (south) and small pebbles (from Budva to Sutomore), but the northern regions, as well as in neighboring Croatia, have a mostly rocky coastline, where swimming is possible only in specially equipped places. Most beaches are fenced and only guests have access to them. local hotels and boarding houses or for a fee. Beaches are rare within the city limits - most often their place is occupied by a beautiful embankment or promenade, so many beaches, if they do not belong to a hotel, will have to be reached by car. public transport.

Water supply

In a number of cities, especially in areas bordering Croatia, there is a shortage of water. Also, the lights are turned off periodically (especially in Montenegro). Tap water is usually chlorinated, but due to damage from NATO airstrikes and general deterioration of networks, drinking tap water is not recommended. For drinking, it is better to use mineral or bottled water.

Photo and video shooting

Photography is allowed only in places where there is no prohibiting sign (crossed out camera). It is prohibited to photograph objects transport infrastructure and energy, port facilities and military installations.

Crossing borders

There is an intra-republican border between Serbia and Montenegro, on which, regardless of the direction of crossing it, you can also be subject to vehicle inspection and document checks (border guards have the right to do this), as well as face the requirement to purchase “national” insurance for the vehicle (a clear violation law - the “green card” is uniform throughout the country).

Electricity

Electricity 220 V, 50 Hz. European type sockets and plugs, with grounding. In rural areas, connectors of the old type are common - round two-pin, without grounding. Power outages are quite common, especially between November and April. Most high-end hotels and restaurants have redundant power generators.

Units of measurement

The system of weights and measures is metric.

Price level

The price level in the country is quite low compared to Western Europe, but an order of magnitude higher than in countries such as Bulgaria or Serbia. In addition, prices vary in different regions of Montenegro. IN coastal areas everything is about a third more expensive, except hotels, which, on the contrary, are more expensive in the interior of the country due to weak competition. The focus on tourism makes coastal Montenegro a “state within a state”, since tourists are perceived as a source of income, which often manifests itself in large number firms and individuals trying to do business on tourists’ ignorance of local features.

A significant convenience for tourists is the use of euros in Montenegro as the official monetary unit. This eliminates the need for currency exchange and commission losses.

Every new tourist is interested in whether there is a visa to Montenegro, whether the country is safe, whether a holiday here is expensive or cheap, whether prices in supermarkets differ from yours, whether English and Russian are understood here. BUT! First, study the characteristics of the country, the mentality of the people, gastronomic preferences, climatic conditions and local traditions. If Montenegro did not live up to your expectations, then you were not information savvy 😉

Visa to Montenegro in 2018

Residents of Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan A visa is not required for Montenegro. That is, all you need is a valid passport! Ukrainians have the right to enter for 90 days, then they must leave the country for 90 days. They cannot be visited every month, but they can live for 3 months in a row... Russians have the right to rest for 90 days only during the tourist season. In 2018, it is introduced for the period from April 15 to October 31, that is, you can rest for no more than 3 months during this period, there is no need to go to visaran! If you want to live in Montenegro for six months to a year, then put a stamp every 30 days on any border about exit and entry, register at the tourist office and live in pleasure! This right is given only to holders of Russian passports!

Citizens of Belarus They can fly to Montenegro without a visa, but with a voucher (from a travel agency) or with an invitation from a private person, officially certified. Belarusians can also enter the territory of Montenegro with a valid Schengen visa, US or UK visa.

Citizens of Kazakhstan get visa-free entry to Montenegro only for a season, in 2018 they have already announced the abolition of visas from April 1.

Registration of tourists in Montenegro (white cardboard)

Every foreign citizen must be registered at a tourist information point or electronically (done in hotels). A tourist in Montenegro needs to pay a boravishnu tax, this is a tax for accommodation - 1 euro per day, free - children under 12 years old and disabled people, teenagers from 12 to 18 years old - 50%. Previously, they gave out white cardboard with the dates of arrival and departure, and paid at the Post Office. Now everything is done electronically; the owner of the villa or at the reception must do this within 24 hours of arrival.

If you rent an apartment without travel agencies and the owners are not going to pay tax, ask them for their full name and address, and go to the tourist office yourself on the first day. If you are the owner of your own home in Montenegro, you and your family members do not pay the tourist tax, but you are also required to register when crossing the border. Look for this on the map in your city - Turistički informativni centar


What are the consequences of non-payment of the tour. tax? At airports, it is rare that anyone checks this information on a computer, but there have been cases of a fine of 200 euros and lengthy proceedings... Most often, questions arise from border guards at the road borders, especially in front of Bosnia (Trebinje), where Russians go for visas. The border guards there, lured with money, behave like greyhounds, and will definitely check your data in the database for paying the Boravish tax. If you don’t have it, the fine is from 60 to 200 euros.

How to protect yourself from a fine when traveling in the Balkans? Be sure to check at the hotel reception or in correspondence with the owners of the apartments whether you have been registered, tell them about your upcoming trip to Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, Croatia. Hotels often give you a receipt for payment, or take a photo of it on your phone. If you pay the tourist tax yourself, keep the payment in your wallet. This check will also protect you if the data was entered incorrectly into the computer database (extra space, wrong letter - this has happened to me personally).

If you change the city of overnight stay every day, you are afraid that someone will not register you, take the address and full name in the first apartment and go to TOURINFO yourself, saying the date of arrival and departure, pay the tax for the entire period of stay in the first location.

Insurance for a trip to Montenegro?

If you are not going to rent a car, try extreme species sports, if you are worried about the health of your children, I advise you to take care of insurance; you can buy it online at , tourists say that it performs well Alfa insurance— solves your insurance questions in 15 minutes, even in the Kotor hospital.

Such a widespread disease in July-August as rotavirus “mows down” almost everyone, young and old, on the city’s crowded beaches. And simply appendicitis can happen to you, only in Budva there is no surgery, you will be sent to Kotor, where services for foreigners cost 10 times higher than in other hospitals in Montenegro. I know how ours were billed there for appendicitis surgery for 5,000 - 7,000 euros, instead of 500 as in Podgorica, or 0 euros if there was insurance. Read.

Is it safe in Montenegro

One of the few countries in Europe where you can feel completely safe. This applies to both women and children. You will be amazed that:

• The supermarket lockers don't have locks.
• many people on the beach leave personal belongings unattended and swim away to the buoys
• there are no high fences near the houses, they often don’t lock the car
• Montenegrins do not steal what is lying badly on the street
• hitchhiking in this country is a free and fairly safe service, but if you are a girl, I recommend immediately clarifying that you are married in order to protect yourself from a long dialogue about what you are beautiful and let's go for coffee.
• at night you can not be afraid to walk around the city, although crowds of men will get in your way, they will not offend you

Of course, there is a black sheep in a family. During the tourist season, neighbors from Balkan countries to steal small things: tourist apartments on the 1st floor, bicycles, bags on the beach, etc. Don't relax completely! I will also note that in the tourism business in Montenegro, more than half of the workers are Serbs, Bosnians, Kosovars, Macedonians, and I can’t vouch for them. And don’t forget about the gypsies, they usually operate in the summer in old cities, on embankments and on street terraces of restaurants.

As for me, it’s dangerous in Montenegro in the wild mountains, and not in crowded places. There you are alone with a wolf, a bear, a wild boar and a poisonous snake 😄 Don’t go to the mountains alone!

Smoking in Montenegro

One of the most slippery topics... people smoke a lot in the Balkans! But since the summer of 2019 Smoking is banned inside restaurants! But they gave you the opportunity to smoke IQOS, although they are not on sale yet, so take 1 block with you. Since Montenegrins cannot imagine their morning without coffee and a cigarette, they are allowed to smoke on the street terraces of cafes.

With children at sea in Montenegro

There is a cult of children in Montenegro; they are loved here and will never be offended. And since Russian children sometimes have blond hair and blue eyes, for Montenegrins this is just a doll! They will squeeze you in the store while you pay at the checkout, pay attention to you on the beach and in restaurants, and let you skip the line. Montenegrin dads are very caring and often go for walks with their children.

In Montenegro there is no developed service for families with children, as in Turkey. If you are looking for hotels in Montenegro, where everything is inclusive, you will find a dozen options... Look at hotels in Becici, they have their own territory, swimming pools, animators somewhere, good food and a good small-pebble beach with a smooth entrance. In the photo - the 5-star Splendid Hotel, good because it is open all year round and has an excellent SPA. There is a 4-star Iberostar hotel nearby; mothers and children praised it to me. In Budva, I advise you to pay attention to the luxury apartments Lux Sunrior, since during the season, guests can relax by the pool and have breakfast there on the roof of the Tre Canne building overlooking the sea.

Many cafes on the embankment of Budva, Becici, Bar have playgrounds - so that parents can relax and gossip with friends, and children can play. In the summer, attractions, a trampoline will be installed in Budva, and a children's submarine will operate for walking on the sea and exploring its inhabitants. Also, at some cafes there are game girls (playlands), check their addresses at your place of residence. There are children's clubs, kindergartens with hourly fees, there are a lot of festivals and carnivals, the main thing is to be aware


And even if the service in Montenegro does not reach the standards you are used to, it is safe, there is a pleasant climate, a clean sea, good ecology and an understandable language. A child can find holiday friends on the beach or in the sandbox in a couple of minutes.

What kind of money is in Montenegro

In Montenegro, there is exactly one currency - the euro! But the country is not part of the European Union, yes, this happens, for example, even on the territory of the Muslim part of Kosovo. Montenegro does not have its own currency, and before the euro there was the German mark (they abandoned it in 2002), and before that there was the Yugoslav dinar, which was “eaten up” by inflation and the Yugoslav war.

The only period when Montenegro printed its own money was from 1906 to 1916, these were perpers and coins of the couple. The Kingdom of Montenegro gained independence at the end of the 19th century and developed as an independent state until the First World War began. world war... There is a Museum of Money in Cetinje, be sure to stop by!


Dollars are not accepted anywhere in Montenegro, it is better not to bring them. Or you will have to look for banks for exchange, but they are open until 16:00, and ordinary exchange offices not at the resorts of Montenegro! Cash rubles and hryvnia will not be useful to you here either.

Take only euros in cash, and smaller denomination bills are valued more. A Montenegrin will react badly to 200 or 500 euros if you want to pay 1 euro for ice cream 😜

Bank cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants, grocery supermarkets and boutiques. Card payments are NOT accepted in Montenegrin taxis, in markets, in remote mountainous and northern areas in shops and restaurants. In Montenegro, you can cash out euros from a ruble card at any ATM! By the way, there is a network of NLB ATMs with menus in Russian.

How much does a trip to Montenegro cost?

The price of a holiday in Montenegro consists not only of air tickets and accommodation... It also includes, from the airport, groceries in the store and trips to restaurants, medical insurance, shopping and souvenirs. Believe me, you can spend a lot of money on vacation! I would take from 50 to 100 euros per person per day for expenses. If you don’t spend it all, that’s good too :)

You can save money in the off-season, when it is already warm, there is even a warm sea: April-May and September-October. All goods and services will fall in price by 10-40%. About food in Montenegro, restaurants and some prices.

If you decide to look for apartments in Montenegro on your own, no need to bombard me with questions - Where should we live, find a hotel. I have 2 jobs, a yacht and this guide site - I physically have no time to deal with your resettlement! There have been excellent services for a long time - Arnbnb, using this link you will receive a discount of 30 euros on your first booking. And also look at housing for any budget on.

Do you need insurance for a trip to Montenegro?

When planning your trip on your own, I advise you not to ignore insurance. Especially on vacation with children. After all, climate change, other foods and water, and possible rotavirus during the peak season affect children first of all. The most popular online service for purchasing insurance is, I read on Facebook that it is better to take Alfa insurance.

Which airlines fly to Montenegro

There are 2 airports in the country - Podgorica(further from the sea) and Tivat. It’s better to choose the second one, it’s closer to the resorts, for example, it takes half an hour to get to Budva. From May to October the number of flights increases many times - charters appear.

How much money to take to Montenegro

Montenegrins - mentality and their 10 commandments

Montenegrins are considered lazy, unhurried people, they live in the “polako” style - slowly, enjoying every moment and not rushing anywhere. Tourists coming from big cities are amazed at this life, criticize or envy! On magnets and souvenir mugs you will see the “10 commandments of Montenegrins”:


They don’t like to work a lot; it’s better to grab a big jackpot once a month or six months than to work every day. In the largest areas of employment - tourism and construction - foreign labor (Serbs, Bosnians, Macedonians) are allowed to work, considering that this is menial and low-paid work... Many live from season to season, and in winter they suffer from boredom, lack of money and Russian tourists

Comic announcement “Montenegro working hours”:
7:00 - start of working hours
7:30 - arrive at work
7:45 - rest with morning coffee
8:15 - reading newspapers, news
9:00 – go to a cafe for breakfast
11:00 - return to work
11:15 — coffee break
11:30 — politics: arguing with a colleague
13:00 – cup of coffee with a friend
14:00 - nerves from excessive work
14:15 - leaving the office
15:00 - end of the working day

Marry a Montenegrin

I want to warn our girls, be careful with Montenegrin men. They are beautiful, tall, captivating in an instant with their fairy tales, according to them, they are rich, super-businessmen and lovers. But in fact, after marriage you find yourself in a terribly patriarchal environment, where his word is law, for example, he can sit in cafes with friends for days, but you cannot. Montenegrin traditions are above your desires and habits. You will get up at dawn and bake bread, cook only Montenegrin high-calorie dishes, endlessly host his relatives, lend money to everyone, serve them coffee from morning to night, listen to the advice of his wise mother, get used to smoking in the apartment, carry bags of groceries yourself, work like crazy and help in every possible way with his business. And the most unpleasant thing is that 90% of Montenegrins, especially those living by the sea, cheat on their wives; every summer this list is replenished with several mistresses, or even a dozen.


If you have arrived in Montenegro for the first time, be vigilant on the embankments and beaches, gigolos and summer renters catch their victims there every day. Never admit that you have a business, own apartment and the desire to move to this country.


I will quote a Russian traveler who found himself in Montenegro at the end of the 19th century:
Since there are no carts in the whole country and only the rich have mules, all supplies are transported and brought back on the shoulders of women, who represent a true example of tolerance. In the house, women do almost all the work; Only men help them in farming, gardening and beekeeping. The Montenegrin despises crafts, although he has a great ability for them; does not engage in trade either, but provides all this to the Turks who have settled in Montenegro.

But I would like to say a few good words about the Montenegrins. The farther from tourist places you meet them, the more sincerely they will express love and hospitality to you. There is only one reason - you are a Russian person (ex-USSR), and for this alone you will be shown respect, assistance in traveling, free treats, invitations home for coffee, and so on. A common history, financial assistance since the time of Peter I, provided to poor Montenegro almost every year, marriages in royal families, and a common Orthodox faith have done their job.

Weather in Montenegro and water temperature

I'm tired of daily questions about the weather in Montenegro. And all because the country is mountainous, the climate in different regions changes sharply, near the sea coast there is one temperature, for example, +25 in May in Budva, while in Cetinje it is 7 degrees colder, and in Lovcen or Zabljak it can be freezing rain, snow or be +4. Look, you can see the city for 7 days, there is an hourly forecast, I believe it only for 3 days in advance. If they promise a sunny day, add +5 degrees.


I can’t call the Adriatic Sea warm, but rather invigorating. But in the heat of +35+40 it’s impossible not to take a swim! Water temperature in Montenegro by month:
— in May +20 +22
— in June and September +22 +24
— in July and August +24 +26
— in April and November +18

But there are rare days - north winds During the night they bring a cold current. And the sea will become +19 for the next three years; even in August such a phenomenon can occur. You must understand that Montenegro is influenced by many natural factors, the weather is unstable in the off-season, there are sandstorms and strong winds, rain and snow. I do not recommend going on excursions to the Prolektiye and Durmitor mountains in the off-season; do not climb mountain passes, especially on cloudy and snowy days.

In this article we will tell you everything about Montenegro. Its nature and recreational features are important for tourists; we will introduce you to the advice of experienced travelers.

Thousands of tourists from all over the world come to this country every year for treatment of a number of serious diseases: respiratory tract, infertility, vascular and heart diseases.

Sea

Average temperature water in Montenegro in the summer months is +26 °C. Sometimes cold currents bring cold water from the depths of the sea to the beaches, and then you have to wait two days until it warms up well.

Where to go in Montenegro?

On sea ​​coast there are several countries popular resorts. One of the most famous of them is Budva. This city has amazing beaches. Mogren and Slavyansky are especially good. In addition, the resort is distinguished by its magnificent nature. Tourists consider Budva to be one of the disadvantages high prices for food and souvenirs.

Rafilovichi, Becici, St. Stephen Island also cannot be called cheap resorts. But there are the same well-groomed beaches and very nice Mediterranean architecture.

Petrovac is a popular resort in Montenegro, which has a huge and comfortable beach, as well as a small pier for small ships and boats.

Sutomore is a resort that will interest those who are thinking about where to go in Montenegro at the lowest cost. Sutomore is perhaps the most cheap resort. Locals They joke: “Tourists with money go to the sea, but without it, they go to Sutomore.” As a rule, there are few vacationers here.

It is difficult to know everything about Montenegro before your trip. For tourists who want to do bargain purchases and have a good rest, you should go to Bar- the business capital of the country. There are quite low prices for goods from Italy and other European countries, since the city is the only major port countries. In addition, there are many interesting sights here. The beaches are mostly pebble. There are significantly fewer tourists in Bar than in Kotor or Budva.

Ultsyn is a resort located on the border with Albania. The town is famous for its magnificent sandy beaches and lots of sunny days.

Bays of Montenegro

There are other popular resorts in the country, and travelers should know about them if they are interested in everything about Montenegro. All information about the country is important for tourists, and therefore, they will probably be interested to know that almost half of the country’s best resorts are not on the coast, but in the depths of huge bays. There is a slightly different sea here, which differs from the coast.

Kotor is the largest bay in Montenegro. Sometimes it is mistakenly called southern fjord Europe. For the convenience of vacationers, many guides divide it into Herceg-Novinsky and Boko-Kotor. We will not break traditions and will talk about each of them separately.

Herceg Nowinsky Bay

It is adjacent to the sea. His main feature one can consider wide open spaces when one can hardly distinguish the opposite shore. The water here is a little warmer than on the coast, but just as crystal clear. There's not much here sandy beaches, mostly pebble and concrete. Particularly popular is Zhanitsa beach, which until recently was a closed beach for the president of the country, but is now open to everyone.

Bay of Kotor

It is connected by a small isthmus to the Herceg Nowinsky Bay. The village of Lepetany is located nearby. Its name translated into Russian means “city of beauties.” Among the resorts, it is necessary to highlight the cities of Kotor and Perast.

Fans of sightseeing tours can visit the Church of Our Lady. If you are planning a trip to the Bay of Kotor, it will be useful for you to know that it is much hotter here than on the coast.

Youth recreation

If you are going to relax in the company of cheerful friends, then you will probably be faced with the question: “Where is the best place for young people to relax in Montenegro?” As a rule, in this case the resort of Budva is recommended. And this is no coincidence. This is the noisiest and active city, where nightclubs are found at every step. Numerous sports competitions, musical and theater festivals. Besides quite rich nightlife Budva offers guests a rich excursion program, so no one will be bored here.

Holidays with children

Families with children become frequent guests of Montenegro. This category of vacationers should know that it warms up to maximum comfortable temperatures only by August. Noisy cities are not suitable for families with children. In addition, you must take into account how convenient it is to enter the water and what the bottom is on the beach.

For family vacation in Montenegro, the town of Petrovac is most suitable. Sweets are sold here at every turn, and in hotels the rest of little guests is thought out to the smallest detail. You can go to Kotor with your children and stay at the Hotel Monte Cristo, which is family-oriented.

Here, nanny services are available to guests, and all the staff are Russian-speaking. And now we will present to you best beaches Montenegro for holidays with children.

Small beach of Ulcinj

The first on our list will be the urban and very clean beach of Ulcinj. It has a gentle entrance to the sea, which seems to have been created specifically for families with children. The depth increases gradually. The beach is covered with brown basalt sand, characteristic of this place, which is considered healing.

If for some reason you don’t like this beach (for example, due to the proximity of the port), go to Tropicana Beach, which is located two kilometers from Ulcinj. It is equipped water attractions, and there is also an amusement park for kids.

Sutomore Beach

Almost the entire surface of this beach is covered with golden sand with small pebbles. It stretches for 1.5 km. On the city side it is limited by an embankment with a resort entertainment complex.

We have probably told you almost everything about Montenegro. Naturally, absolutely all information is important for tourists, and therefore, it seems to us, they will also be interested in answers to several questions. Advice will help us with this experienced travelers. The first and, perhaps, the most pressing question that concerns all tourists without exception, both well-to-do and somewhat strapped for funds: “How much money do you need to go to Montenegro?”

Euros are the most widely used currency in Montenegro. Therefore, it is more profitable to take this particular currency with you. To feel comfortable, you need to have 75 euros per day per adult. You can live on 50 (including excursions and purchases), but in this case you will have to save a little. If you have 100 euros per day, you can limit yourself almost unlimitedly.

If you are planning inexpensive holiday, but at the same time you don’t want to give up several excursions and want to buy souvenirs, then for a week you will need 400 euros per person. With this money you will feel quite confident, although you won’t be able to go wild.

Of course, it all depends on your preferences. According to the most conservative estimates, in order to eat exclusively in restaurants and cafes and not limit yourself too much, you will need:

• for 7 days - from 600 euros;
• for 10 days - from 800 euros;
• for 14 days - from 1100 euros.

What to take with you to Montenegro?

For tourists going on holiday to this country for the first time, this question is very relevant. The answer to this depends on many factors: your income, choice of resort, time of visit to the country. Many vacationers, going to the resorts of Montenegro after the jump in food prices in 2014, began to take non-perishable foods with them. They explain this by saying that it allows them to save on food, allocating funds to additional excursions.

When going to the beach, take water with you, since it is more expensive on the coast, hats, towels and money: the crime rate here is very low, so you don’t have to worry about their safety.

Good afternoon dear friends,
Today I want to give some tips and recommendations to tourists planning a vacation to Montenegro.

Tip for tourists No. 1. Which resort in Montenegro is better to choose

It is not possible to give clear advice on which resort in Montenegro is best to choose. Here you can name best resort Krasnodar region? Why is Anapa better than Gelendzhik or Tuapse? It’s about the same with the evaluation of resorts in Montenegro, each of them is good in its own way. But, nevertheless, I have developed some algorithm for choosing a place to relax and now I will give you some tips and recommendations.

All resorts located on the coast of Montenegro can be divided into three groups. I suggest that you first choose not a specific resort, but a group to which we will classify it, and then, from the cities that belong to this group, select a specific place to relax. Our guide will help you with this, in which everything is described in great detail.

So, let's divide the resorts of Montenegro into groups:

1. The first group includes the most popular resorts. They will have everything in abundance, many shops, restaurants, attractions, and entertainment. There are also more tourists at super popular resorts; all city beaches are filled with people, especially in July and August. The resorts of the first group include the following cities of Montenegro: , . Moreover, cities of the same group also have different popularity. Budva will be overcrowded with tourists at the beginning of the season, and in Tivat there are significantly fewer of them. There are a lot of transit tourists in Kotor who came for one day to walk and see. That is, there are some differences between the cities, but, in general, all of them will have a large selection of everything that tourists and large number people.
2. The second group includes smaller resorts, which are suburbs above the mentioned cities, i.e., these are large villages. In these villages there will be less of everything than in the “main” resorts, but, nevertheless, the infrastructure is very well developed, there is everything that tourists need. Yes, these resorts have less of everything, but do you care whether there are 20 restaurants at the resort, or 200? The main thing is that the restaurants are good, don’t you agree? While relaxing at such resorts, you will not feel the need for anything; there are really no problems with the infrastructure. At the same time, there are significantly fewer tourists there, the beaches are not overloaded. Well, if you want something new, large resorts are close, you can go for a walk. You know, some people like it when there are a lot of people on vacation, but others don’t. If you are one of those who don’t like too many people, take a closer look at the villages, which I classified in the 2nd group. Resorts in this group include,.
3. The third group includes the very tiny resorts of Montenegro, where there is practically nothing, several cafes and small shops where you can buy food and essential goods. These resorts include: , .

I hope the advice on how to choose a resort in Montenegro for your holiday is clear? If not, leave a question in the comments.

Travel tip No. 2. Organize your holiday in Montenegro in advance

The next advice to tourists, if you are going on vacation to Montenegro, learn to plan in advance. It’s so simple, but for some reason most people have problems with this; many, even a month before the onset of summer, cannot decide where and when they will go on vacation. The sooner you start choosing, the more choice you will have. A month before arrival, the choice will be half as much as several months before. I think there is no need to explain that first of all they sort out the most best options accommodation, with an optimal price-quality ratio. The same goes for . Tariffs on special, most low prices sell out first.

Travel tip No. 3. Where to find the cheapest air tickets to Montenegro

As a rule, the cheapest air tickets are where there is the greatest selection. The largest range of air tickets in RuNet.

Tip No. 4. Why you need to book accommodation only with the largest companies

By and large, the entire global accommodation booking market is controlled by two companies. Although there are a lot of different booking services, they all have a small selection of accommodation, so there is no point in trying to book something there, use the world leaders.

Of the two leaders, we cooperate with booking, as they have the lowest prices for accommodation. How does this work? Booking enters into an agreement with property owners, according to which property owners guarantee that they will not rent out their property anywhere for less than the prices they set on booking.

You can see booking prices below. Here you can not only choose and book your accommodation.

By and large, take with you the same as on any other seaside resort. More shorts, T-shirts and swimming trunks.

I will only give advice regarding medications. Antibiotics in Montenegro are sold by prescription. To get a prescription, you must first visit a doctor. Since you probably don’t like sitting in lines at the clinic, it makes sense to take a supply of antibiotics from home.

Also, take “regular” medications, such as headache pills. Similar products can be bought at any pharmacy, a prescription is not required, but the range of drugs in Montenegro is slightly different than at home, so in order not to think about how to replace the drug you are used to, I will give standard advice, all the drugs that may be needed, bring it with you.

Travel tip No. 7. How much money to take with you to Montenegro

I will give you very important advice, do not buy works of art in Montenegro. Even buying a small painting can result in hemorrhoids when leaving the country. To export works of art you need permission from the ministry. It is useless to ask sellers for advice; they always say that you can withdraw without problems, but customs officers may have a different opinion.

Tip No. 9. How tourists can get from the airport to the apartments

There are several options:

1. Book now.
2. Take in.
3. Take a taxi from the airport. But this option is the most expensive; prices at Montenegro airports are always inflated.

Travel tip No. 10. Should you rent sun loungers on the beach?
