Montenegro travel advice
Itinerary tips
“Don’t miss a visit to Cetinje, the former capital when Montenegro had a royal family. You can visit King Nikola’s palace and see the old embassies which were built in each national’s architectural style. It’s high up in the mountains and quite quirky – full of artists and cafes”.

People tips
Adam Jarvis from one of our leading walking holiday suppliers, Headwater:“There is much to love about this small Balkan country but our own favourite things would have to be the friendliness – it is common when passing to be invited to join locals for either coffee or (for the brave) local Rakia, a typically home-made fruit brandy”.
Food tips
Sanja Janovic from our supplier Adventure Montenegro:“For food, you want to try seafood along the coast, but in the mountains, it’s lamb. I particularly like the seafood risottos on the coast, with mussels and squid which are very good here. The best presents to buy in Montenegro are food rather than crafts, as we have very special food. Especially wine, cheese and our Njeguski prsut prosciutto .You can find crafts, but a lot of them are from China whereas with food you know it is local. The best place to buy is the markets, and in summer they are open until 11pm, even on Sundays. At the night markets you can also go and eat some food and drink local wine”.
“Local greenmarkets offer a wonderful variety of seasonal fruits, fish, cheese and meat products. Almost every village has its own cheese – do not miss to try them – best with a local guide, who can explain you the varieties and their origins. And also, you must try the freshly made burek” (freshly made pie or pasty)”

Tips from our travellers in Montenegro
We have selected some of the most useful Montenegro travel advice that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very most of your holiday.


Every single day had really memorable moments….relax and enjoy it all and leave everything to Ben and Emma who lay on brilliantly planned days out. Not sure it’s worth bothering going to the coast. Lake Skadar region has all you need for a week, especially with knowledgeable and well-connected guides like Ben and Emma. - Jon Aldous on our walking holiday in Montenegro
Remember to bring walking trousers, light quick-dry towels, a backpack and tea bags! - Sarah Sneller


Unfortunately my UK mobile network did not cover Montenegro, but for me that was just what I needed. No phone/work prone or internet for a week... bliss. - Agatha Willoughby
It can bit quite chilly during the Easter holidays! Take cash because typically restaurants etc don't take cards although you won't need too much because prices are very low compared to other European countries :) - Hazel Edwards
