Good afternoon dear friends,
Today I want to give some tips and recommendations to tourists who are going to rest in Montenegro.

Advice to tourists number 1. Which resort in Montenegro is better to choose

It is impossible to give unequivocal advice which resort in Montenegro is better to choose. Here you can name the best resort Krasnodar Territory? Why is Anapa better than Gelendzhik or Tuapse? About the same with the assessment of resorts in Montenegro, each of them is good in its own way. But, nevertheless, I have developed some kind of algorithm for choosing a place to stay and now I will give you some tips and recommendations.

All resorts located on the Montenegrin coast can be divided into three groups. I suggest that you first choose not a specific resort, but a group to which we will attribute it, and after that, from the cities that belong to this group, choose a specific place to stay. 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, 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, in the cities of the same group, there are also different popularity, Budva will be crowded with tourists already at the beginning of the season, and in Tivat there are much 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, in all of them there will be a large selection of everything that tourists need and a large number of of people.
2. The second group includes smaller resorts, which are suburbs of the cities mentioned above, 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 the least, but, do you care if there are 20 restaurants in the resort, or 200? The main thing is that the restaurants are good, don't you agree? Resting 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 much 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, and some don't. If you are one of those who do not like an excess of people, take a closer look at the villages, which I attributed to the 2nd group. The resorts of this group include,.
3. The third group will include very tiny resorts in Montenegro, where there is practically nothing, a few cafes and small shops where you can buy groceries and essentials. We refer to such resorts, , .

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

Travel Tip #2. Arrange your holiday in Montenegro in advance

The next tip for tourists, if you are going on vacation to Montenegro, learn to plan ahead. It is 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 there will be. A month before arrival, the choice will be half as much as a few months. I think there is no need to explain that in the first place they sort out the best accommodation options, with the best value for money. The same goes for . Tariffs at special, lowest prices are sold out first.

Travel Tip #3. Where to Find the Cheapest Flights to Montenegro

As a rule, the cheapest flights are where they have the largest selection. The largest range of air tickets in RuNet.

Tip #4 Why you should only book accommodation with the biggest companies

By and large, the entire global market for booking accommodation is held by two firms. Although there are a lot of different booking services, they all have a small choice 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 it works? Booking enters into an agreement with the property owners, according to which the property owners guarantee that they will not rent their property anywhere cheaper than the prices that they set on booking.

Booking prices you can see below. Here you can not only choose and book 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 you advice on medicines. Antibiotics in Montenegro are sold by prescription. To get a prescription, you must first visit a doctor. Since you are unlikely to like to sit in queues at the clinic, it makes sense to take a supply of antibiotics from your homeland.

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

Travel tip number 7. How much money to take with you to Montenegro

The ladies are very important advice, do not buy works of art in Montenegro. Even buying a small painting can turn into hemorrhoids when leaving the country. The export of works of art requires permission from the ministry. Asking sellers for advice is useless, they always say that you can withdraw without problems, but customs officers may have a different opinion.

Tip number 9. How tourists can get from the airport to the apartment

There are several options for action:

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

We hope that our answer will please many: a visa is not required for a short trip. It is necessary to issue it only if you plan to stay in the country for more than three months.

In this article we will tell you everything about Montenegro. For tourists, its nature, features of recreation are important, we will introduce you to the advice of experienced travelers.

Climate

Since Montenegro is located on the Adriatic coast, the country's climate is Mediterranean, only in its northern regions it is temperate continental. In the summer months, the average air temperature is quite comfortable for recreation (+23-+25 °C). In winter, the thermometer rarely drops below -7 °C.

Tourists with experience believe that best time for holidays in this country - the middle and end of summer. The weather in Montenegro in August is hot and sunny. For example, in Podgorica, where tourists usually visit at least for a day, the average temperature is +32 ° C, at night it drops significantly to + 19 ° C. In the resort towns of Tivat, Budva and Kotor, it is about +30.3 °C during the day, and at night, on average, no higher than +17 °C.

The water temperature in August is +26 °C. The weather in Montenegro in August varies depending on the resort you choose. For example, in the very popular city of Bar, during the day the air does not warm up above +25.8 °C, and at night it does not drop below +21.6 °C. And the water temperature in Montenegro near Bar practically does not differ from other resorts.

Montenegro is famous for clean air with a high content of essential oils, ions, clean water of the Adriatic Sea, which contains 38 milligrams of salt per 1 gram of water, healing sand on well-equipped beaches. Thousands of tourists from all over the world come to this country every year to treat a number of serious diseases: respiratory tract, infertility, vascular and heart diseases.

Sea

On many beaches, the transparency of the water reaches 60 meters. It has an unusual azure blue color. This is due to the large amount of minerals and salts dissolved in it. 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?

There are several popular resorts on the coast of the country. One of the most famous of them is Budva. This city has amazing beaches. Mogren and Slavic are especially good. In addition, the resort is distinguished by its magnificent nature. Tourists attribute high prices for food and souvenirs to the number of disadvantages of Budva.

Rafilovici, Becici, St. Stephen Island also can not be called cheap resorts. But here are the same well-groomed beaches and very pretty 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 joke: “Tourists with money go to the sea, and without them they go to Sutomore.” There are usually few tourists here.

It is difficult to know everything about Montenegro before the trip. For tourists who want to bargain shopping and have a good rest, you should go to Bar the business capital of the country. It's pretty here low prices for goods from Italy and other European countries, since the city is the only major port in the country. In addition, there are many interesting sights here. The beaches are mostly pebbly. There are much 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 many 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. For tourists, all information about the country is important, and therefore, probably, it will be interesting for them to know that almost half the best resorts The country is not located on the coast, but in the depths of huge bays. Here is a slightly different sea, which differs from the coast.

Kotor is the largest bay in Montenegro. It is sometimes erroneously called the southern fjord of Europe. For the convenience of vacationers, many guides subdivide it into Herceg-Novinsky and Boko-Kotorsky. We will not violate traditions and will tell about each of them separately.

Herceg-Novinsky Bay

It is adjacent to the sea. Its main feature can be considered wide expanses, when it is difficult to distinguish the opposite shore. The water here is slightly warmer than on the coast, but just as crystal clear. There isn't much here sandy beaches, mostly pebble and concrete. Zhanitsa beach is especially popular, which until recently was a closed beach for the president of the country, and is now available for everyone to visit.

Bay of Kotor

It is connected by a small isthmus with the Herceg-Novinsky Bay. Nearby is the village of Lepetany. Its name in translation into Russian means "city of beauties". Of the resorts, it is necessary to highlight the cities of Kotor and Perast.

Fans of sightseeing tours can visit the Church of the Mother of God. If you are going on 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 rest

If you are going to relax in the company of cheerful friends and girlfriends, then you will probably have a question: “Where is it better for young people to relax in Montenegro?” As a rule, in this case, the resort of Budva is recommended. And it is no coincidence. This is the noisiest active city where nightclubs meet at every step. Numerous sports competitions, music and theater festivals are held here. In addition to the rather rich nightlife, Budva offers guests a rich excursion program, so no one will be bored here.

Vacation with children

Families with children become frequent guests of Montenegro. This category of vacationers should be aware that it warms up to the most comfortable temperatures only by August. Noisy cities are not suitable for families with children. In addition, it is necessary to take into account how convenient the entrance to the water is, what kind of bottom is on the beach.

For family vacation in Montenegro, the town of Petrovac is most suitable. Here, sweets are sold at every step, and in hotels, the rest of young guests is thought out to the smallest detail. You can go with children to Kotor and stay in Hotel Monte Cristo, which is family oriented.

Here, babysitting services are available, in addition, all the staff are Russian-speaking. And now we present to you best beaches Montenegro for families with children.

Small beach 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 the Tropicana beach, which is located two kilometers from Ulcinj. It is equipped with 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 alluvium of small pebbles. It stretches for 1.5 km. From the side of the city, it is limited by the embankment with a resort entertainment complex.

Probably, we have told you almost everything about Montenegro. For tourists, of course, absolutely all information is important, and therefore, as it seems to us, they will still be interested in answers to several questions. The advice of experienced travelers will help us in this. The first and, perhaps, the most pressing question that concerns all tourists without exception, both well-to-do and somewhat constrained in their means: “How much money do you need to go to Montenegro?”

In Montenegro, the euro is the most common. 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 shopping), but in this case you will have to save a little. If you have 100 euros per day, you can hardly limit yourself.

If you are planning an inexpensive vacation, but do not 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 roam especially.

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

Going to the beach, take water with you, because 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.

• One of the characteristic features of the national character of Montenegrins is "deliberateness". Do not be offended if the hotel staff or the waiter does not run to fulfill your wish at that hour - according to the beliefs of the inhabitants of Montenegro, fuss is extremely harmful to health.

• Montenegro is an Orthodox country with a large number of active churches and monasteries included in the excursion programs. When visiting places of worship, one should not wear excessively open or transparent clothing, which is especially true for women.
• Although the people of Montenegro are extremely tolerant, it is considered bad manners to raise topics related to the collapse of the former Yugoslavia and the conflicts that followed.
• Smoking is always and everywhere - a kind of "feature" of the Montenegrin national character. Locals take this bad habit so naturally that they do not hesitate to smoke in public places (although a law was passed in 2004 prohibiting it) and even in the presence of children. To be offended by smokers, on the contrary, is considered bad manners and is highly discouraged. Non-smokers, in such cases, it is easier to step aside.
• Do not be surprised if an unordered glass of wine or liquor appears on your table at dinner at a local tavern. This is a traditional manifestation of the famous Montenegrin hospitality - a drink at the expense of the institution or "on a rachun heap".
• Almost everything is allowed to take pictures in Montenegro, except for strategically important objects that have a special sign - a crossed-out camera.
• The main advice for those who go on vacation to Montenegro with children is to choose the right hotel or cottage. It should be located close to the beach, as in the mountainous Montenegro, even small distances can be a problem for the baby. It is desirable for the cottage to have its own kitchen where you can cook. The proximity to the local market will not hurt, where you can always buy the freshest meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits to your table.
• Those who rent a car in Montenegro should remember that in small towns there are practically no free parking lots in this Balkan country. Paid parking lots in Montenegro are divided into equipped (automatic barrier) and not equipped. The second type of parking is paid for with a pre-purchased (€0.7 at the newsstand) and completed (placed exact time and parking date) of the coupon, which is inserted under the glass from the inside. Do not violate local parking laws - the consequences can be extremely unpleasant for your nerves and wallet.
