Cheap flights to Montenegro

Montenegro climate

Summers in Montenegro can reach a sizzling 30 degrees along the coast. The mountains stay cooler, about 21 degrees. Winters can be very cold, dropping to below freezing in the mountains.

Getting around Montenegro

The best and easiest way to get around Montenegro is by bus. They go all over the country (not always directly from one destination to another) and are very economical.

Getting around by car is another option and car hire companies including Hertz, Europcar and Net Rent-a-Car have offices in the major cities. But bear in mind that Montenegrin drivers can be rather aggressive and roads aren’t always well signed. In peak summer season the roads can get extremely congested, especially closer to the Croatian border.

Metered taxis are readily available in the larger towns and are fairly cheap.
