Montenegro, although the smallest country in the Balkan Peninsula, became the favourite vacation spot for the Balkans and people from across Europe. With breathtaking coastlines, stunning beaches, and welcoming locals, every city in Montenegro makes you feel at home. If you’re visiting Montenegro for the first time, we suggest staying for ten days at least. Hopping from one city to another by car is especially fun as you’ll see all the magical scenic areas and take stunning photos. Here’s how you can make the next Montenegro trip the one for the books.
Hire a car for the trip
If you’re travelling to Montenegro by plane, you can choose to arrive either at Podgorica or Tivat Airport. From there, it’s best you rent a car for your trip around Montenegro. While buses will take you quickly from one point to another, the last thing you need is to waste time waiting for another bus after you missed the earlier one. Plus, Montenegro is filled with little secluded locations that you can only discover by a car when you go off the beaten path.
Visit Budva
Budva is one of the most developed cities in Montenegro. It’s the party destination filled with an array of nightclubs, casinos, and posh places for all the glitterati who love to be seen. With that reputation come less affordable prices that in other nearby cities. However, Budva is worth all the money as it will offer unforgettable times and allow you to experience the best of Montenegro’s summer life. Aside from a vibrant nightlife scene Budva also boasts exquisite restaurants where you can relish in delectable seafood. Start your last-minute getaway in style by allowing yourself to splurge and indulge in lovely Budva.
Check out lovely Tivat
Are you looking forward to shopping and enjoying high-class restaurants? Tivat is the city to go to. On your trip around Montenegro, Tivat deserves at least two days of your attention. However, we must warn you that it’s one of the most charming cities in all of Montenegro, and, as such, it will likely make you want to find a home for a long-term stay. If that happens, you can find a property for long-term rent in Montenegro online easily, and book your home for the rest of the summer. Being the home of a major yacht port, it’s no wonder Tivat attracts many wealthy tourists year-round.
Go to Sveti Stefan
Are you looking for a unique spot in Montenegro, unlike anywhere else in Europe? Sveti Stefan is the location you must visit while in Montenegro. You will find this small island 20 minutes from Budva. When Budva becomes too much, Sveti Stefan will be the ideal relaxing spot. Get your money ready for staying in Sveti Stefan, as the fortification is a 5-star resort. However, if you don’t plan on staying the night, there is a public part of the beach you can enjoy and go swimming or marvel at the gorgeous vistas.
Herceg Novi is a must-see

If you also want to explore a more authentic side of Montenegro, that’s the city you to spend a few days in.
