GETTING AROUND - MONTENEGRO COAST

By Bus

The public bus system in Montenegro offers a good network of buses that link all the cities and connects with other countries such as Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, and Albania. Many of the buses that link to the surrounding cities may not run regularly, intercity buses will run more frequently. The main hub in the country is the capital city of Podgorica, the main bus station is located in front of the main railway station. From Podgorica, daily buses travel to bigger and smaller towns throughout the country. There tend to be many more buses traveling around the country in the summertime which is the high season for travelers.

By Train

Trains are an option to travel around parts of the Montenegro coast including a route from Bar through to Virpazar, and on to Lake Skadar, then up to Podgorica. Trains can connect you from the beach to the mountains or ski fields. Trains are a cheap way to travel but networks are limited and can be old and hot.

By Car
