Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
There is no direct airport. Travelers must fly to Podgorica or Tivat, then take a bus or rent a car. Mountain roads can be winding, requiring winter tires in cold months. The town itself is walkable, minimizing the need for local transport.
Best Season
Summer (June-September) is ideal for hiking and escaping heat. Winter (December-March) offers skiing opportunities. Spring and autumn are quieter but some services may be limited, appealing to those seeking solitude.
