Top 5 Must-Visit Destinations in Montenegro

Montenegro's authorities delighted Ukrainian tourists in mid-April with news of lifting quarantine and PCR test requirements for the upcoming tourist season, with the exact start date still under discussion.

Now is the perfect time to plan your Montenegrin adventure. But where should you go? We've curated a list of five top cities and resorts in Montenegro that tourists love.

Budva
Despite its small size, Budva offers plenty to explore. With approximately fifteen beaches, it's an ideal destination for beach lovers. The Old Town of Budva is a gem in itself, adorned with plaques providing insights into its historic landmarks.

Don't miss a visit to Saint Nicholas Island, just a kilometer offshore. It's perfect for swimming in crystal-clear waters, relaxing, and trying snorkeling.

Podgorica
Compared to Budva, Podgorica is relatively young as a tourist spot, making it more budget-friendly. While it lacks many attractions, landmarks like the Millennium Bridge, connecting the old and new parts of the city, are worth exploring.

Podgorica is ideal for leisurely city strolls.

Resort "Sveti Stefan"
Although not a city, Sveti Stefan is a renowned resort complex that has attracted travelers seeking peace and tranquility for many years. Families particularly love visiting here for its serene atmosphere.

The resort's major advantage is its peaceful environment, devoid of loud parties and crowded tourist spots. Plus, it's conveniently close to Budva.

Tivat
Arguably the most upscale resort in Montenegro, Tivat, previously just a transit town near the main airport, now boasts an incredibly beautiful and expensive marina. It has become a favorite haunt for oligarchs, celebrities, and the wealthy.

While Tivat's beach scene isn't as robust as Budva's, it offers numerous beaches, with Plavi Horizonti being the standout, surrounded by pine forests.

Kotor
Kotor, a historic port city that has been under various powers including the Roman Empire, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, retains a remarkable Old Town with a blended culture. Visit for its historical sites like the St. John's Fortress and the nearby small town of Perast.

Choose Kotor for sightseeing rather than beach lounging.
