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

Travel Tip # 1. Which Montenegro resort is better to choose

There is no definite advice on which Montenegro resort is better to choose. So you can name the best resort of the Krasnodar Territory? Is Anapa better than Gelendzhik or Tuapse? Approximately the same with the assessment of resorts in Montenegro, each of them is good in its own way. But, nevertheless, I have developed some algorithm for choosing a place for relaxation 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 relate it, and after that, from cities that belong to this group to 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 Montenegro resorts into groups:

1. The first group includes the most popular resorts. There will be plenty of them, 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, in the cities of one group, too, different popularity, Budva will be crowded with tourists at the beginning of the season, and in Tivat there are much fewer. In Kotor there are a lot of transit tourists who came for a 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 people.
2. The second group includes smaller resorts, which are suburbs higher than the voiced cities, i.e., these are large villages. In these villages, there will be less in total 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, does it matter to you, there are 20 restaurants in the resort, or 200? The main thing is that the restaurants would be good, agree? Resting at such resorts, you will not feel the need for anything, there really are no problems with the infrastructure. At the same time, there are much less 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, someone likes when there are a lot of people on vacation, but someone doesn’t. If you are one of those who do not like the excess of people, take a look at the villages, which I assigned to the 2nd group. To the resorts of this group include,.
3. In the third group I’ll take very tiny resorts in Montenegro, where there is practically nothing, several cafes and small shops where you can buy groceries and essentials. These resorts include , .

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

Travel Advice No. 2. Organize your holidays in Montenegro in advance

The next tip for tourists, if you are planning a vacation to Montenegro, learn to plan ahead. 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 to rest. The sooner you start choosing, the greater the choice. A month before arrival, the choice will be half as much as in a few months. I think, it is not necessary to explain that first of all the best accommodation options are analyzed, with an optimal ratio of price to quality. 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 where their maximum choice. The largest range of airline tickets in Runet.

Tip number 4. Why you need to book accommodation only in the largest companies

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

Of the two leaders, we work with booking, as they have the lowest prices for accommodation. How it works? Bucking concludes a contract with real estate owners, according to which property owners guarantee that they will not, anywhere, hand over their property for less than the prices that they set at the booking.

You can see the prices for booking below. Here you can not only choose and book your stay.

By and large, take with you the same as in any other seaside resort. Short, T-shirts and swimming trunks more.

I will give only advice regarding drugs. Prescription antibiotics in Montenegro. 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” use medications, such as headache pills. Such drugs can be bought at any pharmacy, a prescription is not required, but the assortment of drugs in Montenegro is slightly different than in the homeland, so in order not to think about replacing the remedy you are used to, I will give standard advice, all the medicines that may be needed, bring with you.

Travel Advice No. 7. How much money to bring to Montenegro

I will give you very important advice, do not buy works of art in Montenegro. Even buying a small picture can turn into hemorrhoids when leaving the country. The export of works of art requires permission from the ministry. It is useless to ask sellers for advice, they always say that it can be deduced without problems, but customs officers may have a different opinion.

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

There are several options:

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

Advice to tourists number 10. Whether to rent sunbeds on the beach

Advice to tourists in Montenegro No. 12. How to travel around Montenegro

Montenegro is a very beautiful country where you can and should travel. I will give some tips and advice to tourists in Montenegro on this issue.

There are several options for traveling around Montenegro:

1. The most common option,. This is the easiest option, no need to think about anything, go nowhere, bought an online tour, simply, quickly and at an affordable price. All you need to do is decide which excursions you want to buy. Moreover, if you are too lazy to delve into this issue yourself, you can write to me, I will advise. Excursions in Montenegro are of two types, individual and group. Individuals are held in a passenger car, they are a bit more expensive, but, however, are characterized by increased comfort. Group tours are carried out on buses of various capacities.
2. Take in. In this case, you will have to personally think about what sights you want to see and spend time composing a route. But, there are many advantages to this type of travel.
3. The cheapest way to travel around Montenegro, by bus. By buses you can drive NOT to all Montenegro, but you can quite travel around the coast cities.

Dear friends,
These are all the tips and recommendations that I wanted to give to visitors coming to Montenegro. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments, I will definitely answer everyone. I would be grateful if you share this article on social networks, but do it only if you liked it.

P.S. Do you know that applying for a residence permit in Montenegro is easier and cheaper than in any other country in the world? Detailed information about immigration is published on the website EVROPAEDU.RU (by the way, this is the most detailed website of runet about life in Montenegro). Immigration advice can be obtained by calling +382 69 287 855.

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

• Montenegro is an Orthodox country with a large number of operating churches and monasteries included in excursion programs. When visiting places of worship, do not wear overly open or transparent clothing, which is especially true for women.
• Although the inhabitants of Montenegro are extremely tolerant in nature, raising the topic of the conversation related to the collapse of the former Yugoslavia and the ensuing conflicts is considered to be bad form.
• Smoking is always and everywhere a peculiar “feature” of the Montenegrin national character. Local residents perceive this bad habit so naturally that they smoke in public places without hesitation (although a law was passed prohibiting it in 2004) and even in the presence of children. To be offended by smokers, on the contrary, is considered bad form and is highly discouraged. Non-smokers, in such cases, it is easier to step aside.
• Do not be surprised if at dinner in a local tavern on your table did not appear an ordered glass of wine or liquor. This is a traditional manifestation of the famous Montenegrin hospitality - a drink at the expense of the institution or “on the heap of rachun”.
• Photographing in Montenegro is allowed for almost everything except strategically important objects that have a special sign - a crossed-out camera.
• The main advice for those who are going on vacation to Montenegro with children is to choose the right hotel or cottage. It should be located near the beach, as in the mountainous Montenegro, even small distances can be a problem for the baby. For the cottage, it is desirable to have your own kitchen where you can cook. The proximity to the local market, where you can always buy the freshest meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits to your table, will not hurt.
• Those who rent a car in Montenegro should remember that in the small towns of this Balkan country there are practically no free parking lots. Paid parking lots in Montenegro are divided into equipped (with automatic barrier) and not equipped. The second type of parking is paid using a pre-purchased (0.7 € in a newsstand) and filled out (set the exact time and date of parking) ticket, which is pushed under the glass from the inside. Do not violate local parking laws - the consequences can be extremely unpleasant for your nerves and wallet.

Sockets in Montenegro(220V)

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

Visa to Montenegro in 2018

Residents of Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan a visa is not needed in Montenegro. That is, from the documents you only need a valid passport! Ukrainians have the right to enter for 90 days, then for 90 days you need to leave the country. They can’t get bored monthly, but they can live for 3 months in a row ... Russians have the right to rest without a break 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, you do not need to go to the visa! If you want to live in Montenegro for six months - a year, then put a stamp every 30 days on any border about departure-entry, register at the tour post and live your life in pleasure! This right is granted only to owners of passports of the Russian Federation!

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

Citizens of Kazakhstan get visa-free entry to Montenegro only for a season, in 2018 they announced the cancellation of a visa on April 1.

Registration of tourists in Montenegro (white cardboard)

Every foreign citizen must be registered in the tourist information center or electronically (done in hotels). A tourist in Montenegro needs to pay a boravishnu rate, this is a tax for accommodation - 1 euro per day, free of charge - children under 12 years of age and disabled people, adolescents from 12 to 18 years old - 50%. Previously, they issued white cardboard with the dates of departure and departure, but paid at the Post Office. Now everything is done electronically, the owner of the villa or at the reception should do this at 24 hours after 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, go to the tour office on your own on the first day. If you are the owner of your own home in Montenegro, you and the family are not paid a tourist tax, but you are also required to register at the border. Look on the map in your city like this - Turistički informativni centar


What threatens non-payment of the tour. tax? It’s rare at airports who check this information on a computer, but there have been cases of a fine of 200 euros and lengthy trials ... Most often, border guards have questions at automobile borders, especially before Bosnia (Trebinje), where Russians go to visas. Border guards there are fed up with money, behave greyhound, be sure to check your details in the database for paying borawish fees. If not, a fine of 60 to 200 euros.

How to protect yourself from a fine while traveling in the Balkans? Be sure to check at the hotel reception or in correspondence with the owners of the apartments if you have been registered, tell them about your upcoming trip to Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, Croatia. Often in hotels they give a receipt for payment, or take a picture of it on the phone. If you pay tourist tax yourself - save the payment in your wallet. This check will also save you if the data were entered incorrectly in the database. (extra space, wrong letter - I personally have this happened).

If you change the night city every day, are afraid that someone will not register you, take the address and name in the first apartment and go to TURINfo yourself, telling the arrival and departure dates, pay the tax for the entire stay in the first location.

Insurance for a trip to Montenegro?

If you are not going to rent a car, experience extreme sports, worry about the health of children - I advise you to take care of insurance, you can buy online at, tourists say that it shows itself perfectly Al insurance - Solves your insurance questions in 15 minutes, even at the Kotor Hospital.

Such a common disease in July-August as rotavirus “mows” almost everyone - from small to large on urban crowded beaches. And appendicitis can happen elementarily with you, only there is no surgery in Budva, you will be sent to Kotor, where services for foreigners cost 10 times higher than in other hospitals in Montenegro. I know how we were billed for appendicitis for 5000 - 7000 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:

• lockers in the supermarket do not lock
• many on the beach leave their personal belongings unattended and swim to the buoys
• there are no high fences near the houses, often they don’t close the car
• montenegrins do not steal what lies bad on the street
• hitchhiking in this country is a free and fairly safe service, but if you are a girl, I recommend that you immediately clarify that you are married to protect yourself from a long dialogue, which you are beautiful and went "for coffee".
• at night you can’t be afraid to walk around the city, although crowds of men will fall in the way, they won’t hurt you

Of course, in the "family is not without a freak." In the tourist season, neighbors from the Balkan countries come to Montenegro to steal in a petty way: tourist apartments on the 1st floor, bicycles, bags on the beach, etc. Do not completely relax! I also note that in the tourism business in Montenegro, more than half of the workers are Serbs, Bosnians, Kosovars, Macedonians, and I can not vouch for them. And do not forget about the gypsies, they usually operate in the summer in old cities, on the promenades and on the street terraces of restaurants.

As for me, it is 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 😄 Do not go to the mountains alone!

Smoking in Montenegro

One of the most slippery topics ... in the Balkans they smoke a lot! But since the summer of 2019 smoking inside restaurants banned! But they gave the opportunity to smoke Aykos, although they are not yet on sale, so bring 1 block with you. So how can a Montenegrin not imagine his morning without coffee and a cigarette, they are allowed to smoke on the street terraces of the cafe.

With children at sea in Montenegro

In Montenegro there is a cult of children, here they are loved and will never be offended. And since Russian children come with blond hair and blue eyes, for Montenegrins, this is a doll right away! They will squeeze in the store while you pay at the checkout, pay attention to you on the beach and in restaurants, skip the queue. Montenegrin popes are very caring and often walk 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 included, you will find about a dozen options ... See hotels in Becici, it has its own territory, swimming pools, somewhere animators, good food and a nice pebble beach with a smooth entrance. In the photo is the 5-star Splendid Hotel, which is good because it works all year round, there is an excellent spa. Nearby there is a 4-star hotel Iberostar, I was praised by his mothers and children. In Budva, I advise you to pay attention to the luxurious Lux Sunrior apartments, as during the season guests can relax by the pool and have breakfast there on the roof of the Tre Canne building with sea views.

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


And although the service in Montenegro does not reach your usual standards, it is safe, pleasant climate, clear sea, good ecology and understandable language. A child can find friends on vacation on the beach or in the sandbox in a couple of minutes.

What money is in Montenegro

In Montenegro, exactly the same money goes - the euro! But the country not a member of the European Union, yes, it happens, for example, even on the territory of the Muslim part of Kosovo. There is no currency of its own in Montenegro, and there was a German mark before the euro (they abandoned it in 2002), and before that there was a Yugoslav dinar, which inflation and the Yugoslav war “ate”.

The only period when Montenegro printed its own money - from 1906 to 1916, it was the perpers and coins of the pair. The Kingdom of Montenegro gained independence at the end of the 19th century and developed as an independent state until the outbreak of the First World War ... The Museum of Money is operating in Cetinje, be sure to stop by!


Dollars in Montenegro do not accept anywhere, it is better not to carry them. Or you will have to look for banks for an exchange, and they work until 16:00, but there are no ordinary exchange offices in the resorts of Montenegro! Cash rubles and hryvnias will not come in handy here either.

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

Bank cards accepted in hotels, restaurants, grocery supermarkets and boutiques. They do NOT accept card payments in Montenegrin taxis, in markets, in remote mountainous and northern regions in shops and restaurants. In Montenegro, you can cash the euro from a ruble card at any ATM! By the way, there is a NLB ATM network with a menu in Russian.

How much is a trip to Montenegro

The price of a vacation in Montenegro is not only the sum of air tickets and housing ... It’s also, from the airport, groceries in the store and going to restaurants, medical insurance, shopping and souvenirs. Believe me, you can spend very different money on vacation! I would take from 50 to 100 euros for 1 person per day. If you don’t spend it all, that’s good too 🙂

You can save in the off-season, when it is already warm, there is even a warmed 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 search for apartments in Montenegro yourself, you do not need to throw me questions - And where do we live, pick a hotel. I have 2 works, a yacht and this guide site - I physically have no time to deal with your resettlement! For a long time there are excellent services - Arnbnb, under this link you will receive a discount of 30 euros for the first booking. And also see housing on any wallet on.

Do I need insurance to travel to Montenegro

When planning your trip yourself, I advise you not to ignore insurance. Especially on vacation with children. After all, climate change, other products and water, a possible rotavirus at the peak of the season - affect children in the first place. The most popular online insurance purchase service is, I read on Facebook that it is better to take Alfastrakhovanie.

Which airlines fly to Montenegro

There are 2 airports in the country - Podgorica (farther from the sea) and Tivat. It is better to choose the second one, it is closer to the resorts, for example, to go to Budva for half an hour. 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 a lazy, leisurely people, live in the style of “Polako” - slowly, enjoying every moment and not rushing anywhere. Tourists coming from megacities marvel at such a life, criticize or envy! On magnets and souvenir mugs you will see the "10 Commandments of the Montenegrin":


They don’t like to work a lot, it’s better to grab a big sum once a month, for six months, than to work daily. In the largest areas of employment - tourism and construction - foreign workers (Serbs, Bosnians, Macedonians) are allowed to work, believing that this is a black and low-paid job ... Many live from season to season, and in winter suffer from boredom, lack of money and Russian tourists

Comic ad "Montenegrin working hours":
7:00 - the beginning of working time
7:30 - arrival at work
7:45 - morning coffee break
8:15 - reading newspapers, news
9:00 - a trip to the cafe for breakfast
11:00 - return to work
11:15 - coffee break
11:30 - politics: swearing with a colleague
13:00 - a 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, fascinate in an instant with their 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 the law, for example, he can sit for days at a cafe with friends, but you can’t. Montenegrin traditions exceed your desires and habits. You will get up at dawn and bake bread, cook only Montenegrin high-calorie dishes, take endlessly his relatives, lend money to everyone, serve them coffee from morning to night, heed 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 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 lovers, or even a dozen.


If you first arrived in Montenegro, be vigilant on the promenades and beaches, where Alphonse and summer renters catch their victims daily. In no case do not admit that you have a business, your own apartment and a desire to move to this country.


To quote a Russian traveler who ended up in Montenegro at the end of the 19th century:
Since there are no carts in the whole country and only some rich have mules, all the supplies are transported and brought on the shoulders of women, representing a true example of tolerance. In the house, women send almost all the work; only in agriculture, horticulture and beekeeping do men help them. The craftsman despises the Montenegrin, although he has great ability to them; He is also not involved in trade, but provides all this to the Turks who settled in Montenegro.

But I want to say a few good words about the Montenegrins. The farther from the tourist places you meet them, the more sincere they will express love and hospitality for you. There is one reason - you are a Russian person (ex-USSR), and already for this you will be given reverence, travel assistance, free refreshments, invitations to home for coffee and so on. A common history, financial assistance from the time of Peter I, provided to poor Montenegro almost annually, marriages in the royal families, and the common Orthodox faith did their job.

Weather in Montenegro and water temperature

I'm tired of daily weather questions in Montenegro. And all because the country is mountainous, the climate in different regions changes dramatically, near the sea coast - one temperature, for example, +25 in May in Budva, while in Cetinje it is 7 degrees colder, and in Lovcen or Zabljak it can go rain, snow or be +4. Look, you can around the city for 7 days, there is a one-hour forecast, I believe him only 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 + 35 + 40 it’s impossible not to swim! Monthly Montenegro water temperature:
- 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 - northern winds bring a cold current during the night. And the sea for the next three will be +19, even in August such a phenomenon can happen. You need to understand that Montenegro is influenced by many natural factors, the weather is not stable during the off-season, there are sandstorms and strong winds, rains and snow. I do not advise you to go during the off-season with excursions to the mountains Prolektie and Durmitor, not to climb mountain passes, especially on cloudy and snowy days.
