We're thinking about going for a week in late spring.
Other than Kotor Bay, where else is worth visiting? Which mountains are the best for walking?
Any must see/do places?
Cheers
kotor is a great little town ,good for food and drink and a wander around been a few times, plenty of mountains around there, I stopped in budva 16 years ago and it was great, now it is really high rise and busy (last went 2019,). best avoided, although the little squared town is nice. the train ride from beograd/belgrade is excellent, beautiful scenery as is the coastline,
dubrovnik isnt that far across the border, although can be slow at the crossing
We stayed in the fjord in Kotor it’s very nice, early morning swims, in crystal clear water, so calm as to be invisible.
We went on a train journey though the mountains - stunning scenery, Europes deepest gorge or some such:)
Went there a couple of years back. Stunning country
Need to go back again and spend more time in the interior which is stunning empty countryside
We stayed on the west side of the bay . As above early morning and evening swims were amazing.
Kotor - tourist trap, well when we were there were at least 2 cruise ships every day. Lovely place though.
<br />You will need a hire car. <br /><br />Tivat marina is good for people watching and nice food etc
We did an excellent evening kayak thing in Budva. <br /><br />
You can charter boats in the bay that take you out to the coast , visiting old submarine basis, caves, that church on the island thing. That was a highlight for us
Drove up to Lovcen up the windy road great views etc
we would defo go back again without our son and explore the mountains / parks in land
i wondered about taking /hiring a bike. No chance ! Drivers are mad
<br /><br /><br />
Thanks
Priganice! make sure you have these fried donuts for breakfast, served with honey and feta style cheese. They’re incredible.
its a beautiful country, albeit some of the coastal areas are being ruined by over development.
Skadr lake is beautiful, as is the hinterland / interior Montenegro.
my outlaws live in the south, in the Bar / Ulcinj area. If you want to kite surf there is an excellent beach in Ulcinj. Although the town is hella busy in summer

Nice places to eat and see superyachts at the Marina
The mountains and scenery look incredible for walking
We sailed out to Dubrovnik (Croatia) which is well worth a visit if that interests you
Border crossings by vehicle are slower and cheaper, although you may enjoy a 20 minute delay at an otherwise empty border crossing as 3 border police enjoy seeing a British Passport for the first time ever, I guess all British travellers fly between destinations
Has anyone been walking in the mountains there?
Daughter has been and loves it. As per retirement thread, Montenegro not in Schengen so planning a month there to run/hike in the mountains. No solid plans yet, so watching thread with interest.
Durmitor mountains look nice from the photos online
We've got a few friends who've been in recent years but nobody seems to recall any details of hotels, places etc. They all just said it's really nice
Lovely place, especially Durmitor national park. Proper wilderness, some great hiking available. We flew into Dubrovnik, drove to Kotor (lovely but touristy - boat tour to the Blue Cave and some WW2 submarine pens was good), then to Durmitor NP (we stayed in Zabljak - basic but fine) and did some hiking and lake swims etc. Bobatov Kuk is the big peak but was still snowy when we were there. The road through the middle of the park is one of the most stunning I've ever driven (from Zabljak to Pluzine), well recommended. Tara canyon has rafting etc and is pretty impressively deep. We went from Pluzine up the Piva canyon (beautiful) into Bosnia, spent a few days in Sarajevo, headed south to Mostar, then finished up with a day in Dubrovnik before flying home. Great holiday, super friendly people, and Montenegro was by far the cheapest of the 3 countries visited. Can't really recommend any specific places to stay, we did mainly AirBnB apartments and all worked out fine. Do it!
Our sales rep had one back in the day - nowhere near as good as a Sierra.
