Montenegro is a small country on the Adriatic where the mountains run straight down to the sea. The old towns of Kotor and Budva, beaches, lakes and canyons are all within a couple of hours of each other.

highlights
Montenegro is for those who want a European seaside holiday without the bustle of big resorts. Couples and families love the quiet bays, old towns and beautiful views, while active travellers come for the mountains, rafting and trekking. Many people travel by car and cover almost the whole country in a week.
Hotels here are mostly small, with lots of apartments and villas. If you are used to big all-inclusive hotels, the choice will be more modest than in Turkey, but the atmosphere is more homely.
The beach season runs from June to September. July and August are the peak, when Budva and Kotor are full of tourists and prices are higher. June and September are the best choice: the sea is warm and there are fewer people. If you are comparing summer destinations, take a look at where to go in summer.
May and October are good for sightseeing and the mountains, and in summer the Durmitor mountains are cooler than the coast. In winter a few small ski resorts are open.
Budva is the main resort, with a walled old town, nightlife and a string of beaches. Nearby are Bečići, Petrovac and the famous island hotel of Sveti Stefan with the beach in front of it.
Kotor has fortress walls you can climb up to St. John’s Fortress. Perast has the islands of Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George. Tivat has the Porto Montenegro yacht marina, and Herceg Novi sits at the entrance to the bay.
In the south of the country, close to the Albanian border: the sandy Velika Plaža beach several kilometres long, a shallow sea and the oriental flavour of the old town.
The largest lake in the Balkans, a national park with pelicans, water lilies and monasteries on its islands. A boat trip is a nice addition to a beach holiday.
Mountains, glacial lakes such as the Black Lake in Žabljak, the Đurđevića Tara Bridge over the Tara Canyon, and rafting. People come here for a day or stay overnight.
Montenegro has many small family hotels, villas and apartments. Large resort hotels are found in Budva, Bečići and Tivat, as well as at upmarket Luštica Bay. Apartments are handy for families and groups: you can cook for yourselves and save money. Keep in mind that many buildings stand on slopes, and getting to the beach can mean going down steps.
Montenegrin cuisine means fresh fish and seafood on the coast, and kajmak, kačamak and lamb cooked under the sač in the mountains. The coast has lots of cafés serving pizza and pasta thanks to the proximity of Italy. Fruit and vegetable markets operate in almost every town.
A beach holiday takes 7–10 nights, with excursions to Kotor, Lake Skadar and Durmitor. If you want more mountains, add 2–3 days in the north. Montenegro is sometimes combined with Dubrovnik in Croatia, but that requires a separate visa for Croatia, which is part of the Schengen area.
Entry rules for citizens of Uzbekistan need to be checked before the trip. Montenegro has historically allowed holders of valid Schengen, US and UK visas to enter under certain conditions, but the rules may change. For more on Schengen, see our guide to the Schengen visa for citizens of Uzbekistan.
Montenegro uses the euro. Foreigners must register at their place of residence; in hotels the front desk does this for you. Mountain roads are narrow and winding, so drivers need experience.
Rules are given as of October 2026 and may change: check with our manager or the official embassy website before you travel.

Entry for citizens of Uzbekistan depends on Montenegro's current rules. The country has historically allowed holders of valid Schengen, US or UK visas to enter under certain conditions, so our manager will check the current option before booking.
Swimming is comfortable from June to September. May and October can be warm, but the water is cooler; on the other hand, there are fewer people and prices are lower.
Mostly pebble and fine pebble, especially around Budva. Sandy beaches are found in Ulcinj, where Velika Plaža stretches for several kilometres.
For a beach holiday with two or three excursions, 7–10 nights. The country is small, so in a week you can see both the sea and the mountains.
Greece brings together the sea, the islands and the ancient world in one trip. Crete for a family holiday, Santorini for couples, Athens for anyone who wants to see the Acropolis.
