Of all Montenegro’s scenic drives, the Podgorica to Kotor route is the one most visitors tackle first. It connects the capital — a functional, workaday city that rarely features in travel magazines — with one of the most dramatic pieces of Mediterranean coastline in Europe. The Bay of Kotor is genuinely spectacular: a drowned river […]
The drive from Kotor to Budva covers 32 km of Montenegro’s most densely touristed coastline in under an hour — but only if you leave at the right time. The road between these two Adriatic towns is a divided coastal highway that sounds short on paper but clogs badly in peak season. Here’s what you […]
There’s the fast way from Cetinje to Budva — the new coastal road, 28 kilometres in 35 minutes — and then there’s the old way. The old way takes 55 minutes to an hour and passes through Lovćen National Park, over a 945-metre mountain pass, past a medieval island monastery, and along a section of […]
Lake Skadar sits just 15 kilometres south of Podgorica as the crow flies — but the drive through Montenegro’s karst landscape takes a winding, scenic 40 minutes that feels like travelling back through centuries. This is one of the Balkan’s great overlooked drives, and if you’re collecting Montenegro road trip moments, this one belongs in […]
If you’re hunting for montenegro beaches by car, you’re doing it the right way. Sure, you can stick to the obvious spots near town and hotel strips, but the really good beaches in Montenegro are often the ones that need a little extra effort. Sometimes that means a narrow road. Sometimes it means a dirt […]
If you’re doing kotor to durmitor by car, good choice. This is one of those drives that looks short on the map and then quietly turns into a proper Montenegro day out. You leave the Bay of Kotor with the sea behind you, climb into the mountains, pass old royal towns and monasteries, then end […]
Budva to Kotor Drive | From €38/day | Car Hire Montenegro If you’re based in Budva and thinking about a day trip to Kotor — or vice versa — you’re in luck. This is one of the shortest and most satisfying drives in Montenegro. The Bay of Kotor is often described as a fjord, which […]
Dubrovnik to Kotor Drive | From €38/day | Car Hire Montenegro The road from Dubrovnik to Kotor is one of those drives that ruins you for all other road trips. It’s just 90 minutes — or two hours if you’re taking the scenic inland route — but that stretch along the Bay of Kotor is […]
Montenegro has five national parks, and three of them are absolute must-drives for anyone who loves mountain roads, dramatic viewpoints, and landscapes that look they’re straight out of a fantasy film. What makes Montenegro special is how much variety is packed into such a small country—you can drive from the coast to high mountain pastures […]
Most people don’t think of Montenegro as a ski destination. They think of the Adriatic coast, the Bay of Kotor, maybe a summer road trip through the mountains. But here’s what they’re missing: Montenegro has proper ski resorts that cost a fraction of what you’d pay in Austria or France, and you can have the […]
