An incredibly underrated part of Europe, Montenegro offers a mixture of the styles and cultures of its neighbours Albania, Croatia and Serbia and a unique twist all of its own. Montenegro is a tiny country – smaller than Wales – yet it packs a punch when it comes to attractions and natural beauty, combining stunning beaches, dramatic canyons, ancient ruins and elegant architecture, all of which are in relatively easy access of each other. You could, therefore, spend the morning sunbathing by the sea, lunch in an authentic Montenegrin restaurant situated in a stunning piazza, and then climb hill in the afternoon. If Montenegro is your next holiday destination, you have chosen wisely.
Renting holiday accommodation in Montenegro
During your stay in Montenegro you will want to get up and about and explore as much as possible. It is therefore recommended that you look into renting holiday accommodation in Montenegro rather than booking a hotel as you will be able to enjoy a much freer and more independent time, coming and going when you wish and not being weighed down by curfews and timetables. HouseTrip offers a number of holiday rentals in Montenegro, which can also save you money and offer all the amenities you would expect, such as kitchen facilities and extra private space to relax in.
Where to stay in Montenegro
Perhaps the first place you might consider to stay is the capital Podgorica, which is close to skiing for tourists in the winter months, as well as seaside resorts in the summer. The city also offers a number of museums and historical places of interest, in addition to a bustling nightlife and some good places to eat – your central Podgorcia apartment would offer you great access to all of this. A villa or apartment in Budva might be more appealing given its beaches and distinguishing cultural heritage. Tivat on the bay of Kotor boasts incredible forestry and a more laidback atmosphere. HouseTrip offers Montenegro holiday rentals in all of the aforementioned locations and more, browse through the website to find your perfect spot.
Montenegro with the family
Whether you are staying close by or not, the Bay of Kotor should certainly go on your list of things to do while you are in Montenegro, with its historic walled towns, ancient monuments, forests, blue seas and limestone cliffs offering an visually unforgettable experience. Depending on the age of your kids, a spot of kayaking down the Tara Canyon is an intense and incredibly good fun activity for adrenalin junkies. A slightly slower-paced but still testing trip is to the Mount Lovćen, where you can climb one of the two peaks, as well as visit the National Park and the Mausoleum of Njegoš.
