Travel to Montenegro
Flying to Montenegro
Podgorica Airport (TGD) is the primary hub for international flights, while Tivat Airport (TIV), on the Adriatic coast, serves the coastal region.
The national carrier, Air Montenegro, operates from TGD and offers flights to various European destinations. Other airlines serving Podgorica include Austrian Airlines, Ryanair, Turkish Airlines, and Wizz Air, connecting travellers to cities such as Vienna, London, and Istanbul.
From London to Podgorica: 3 hours (direct).
Travel by rail
The only international rail link is the Belgrade–Bar railway, which connects Serbia's capital, Belgrade, to the Montenegrin coastal town of Bar. This 476-kilometre route, completed in 1976, is renowned for its engineering marvels, including the Mala Rijeka viaduct—the highest railway bridge in Europe—and the 6.2-kilometre Sozina tunnel. The journey takes approximately 11 hours and seat reservations are required.
The Interrail Global Pass covers travel on the Belgrade–Bar railway.
Driving to Montenegro
Visitors can drive to Montenegro from all of its neighbouring countries, namely Croatia (at Debeli Brijeg/Karasovići), Bosnia and Herzegovina (notably at Vilusi and Šćepan Polje), Serbia (at Dobrakovo/Gostun), Kosovo (at Kula), and Albania (at Sukobin/Muriqan).
Drivers must have a valid passport, driving licence, and car insurance. If the licence is in a non-Latin script, an International Driving Permit is required.
For those travelling along the coast, the Adriatic Highway (E65/E80) is the main route, stretching from Croatia down through Montenegro and offering stunning sea views along the way. While scenic, drivers should be mindful of winding roads and occasional heavy traffic during peak tourist seasons.
Getting to Montenegro by boat
Adria Ferries operates routes between Ancona, Italy, and Bar, Montenegro, with crossings typically taking around 13 hours.
Additionally, seasonal catamaran services connect Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Montenegrin coastal cities such as Kotor, Tivat, and Budva.
The Bay of Kotor is a popular destination for numerous Mediterranean cruise itineraries. Major cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line, feature Kotor as a port of call.
