Montenegro holidays

1 destination in Montenegro, with real fares from London Heathrow. See Kotor below, or plan dates in the trip search.

Highlights

Kotor pairs a UNESCO-listed old town with a fjord-like bay, mountains rising straight up from the water at its edge.

Why go

A UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town and bay, its fortified centre and surrounding landscape protected as one combined site.
Mountains rising directly from the water to nearly 1,500 metres around the bay, a genuinely dramatic setting for a walled old town.
The old road up towards Njeguši and the hills above the bay, a steep, switchbacked route with the bay laid out below.

Worth knowing

The old town gets very crowded on days when cruise ships are in port, which is often through summer.
Kotor's setting is dramatic but cramped — flat ground is scarce, and most onward trips involve a steep or winding road rather than a flat drive.

When to go

Spring: Mild, with green hillsides and a bay still quiet before the cruise and summer season builds.
Summer: Hot, and the busiest season by far, with cruise ship visits adding to the crowds in the old town.
Autumn: Warm sea lingering into the season, with noticeably thinner crowds than summer.
Winter: Quiet and mild for the coast, though many boat trips and seasonal businesses scale right back.

What it costs

An inexpensive restaurant meal runs around €10. A budget hotel room is typically around €37/night, €72 mid-range. These are Montenegro-wide estimates, not live listing prices.

Getting around

The old town is compact and walkable, wedged between the bay and the base of the mountains; the road up towards Njeguši and the hills above is steep and switchbacked, better suited to a car or an organised trip than a casual walk.
