Travel to Montenegro | Is it Worth Visiting? | Pros and Cons

Thank you, Renee. We really appreciate your support. Those videos will be coming your way soon. 😃 Cheers!!! 🍻

[@sixeralex]

I just spent 6 days in Montenegro and returned 3 weeks ago and can actually share a lot of good things and a couple of bad ones..... I rented a car, which is recommended to fully enjoy places like Prokletije mountain...on a bad note, there are some hustlers...e.g. Perast bay in front of the Church on the lake.... they advertise free parking and once you park, they tty to charge you for an expensive tour.... watch out and instead drive all around the lake to the other side to Veriges 65 restaurant, which was our best rwstaurant... beleve me it's worth it ... we spent 3 hours there since it was great. Note 2 .... Podgorica is not worth more than 2 hrs. 3. Do spend a day visiting Piva Lake, Durmitor mountain and the beautiful bridge

[@DeanRamser]

Thanks, Brian & Carrie. We plan to be in Budva in March-April-May; our first time. Montenegro looks better to us than the other non-Schengen countries. After our 90 days there, we are looking at Portugal, Spain, and possibly France. We have until Sept to return to our rented condo home in PDX. Best, Dean & Cindy

[@BrianandCarrie]

Sounds like a wonderful itinerary!! Montenegro was a beautiful country, what we've seen of it so far. Safe travels and Happy New Year!!

[@SabineWald_NowHere]

Thank you for your insights. I truly enjoy watching this. I've arrived here for the fist time ever (Sutomore, near Bar) and cannot believe how much I love this small but great little gem. Stunning beaches and people, I must say. Everyone is so helpful. It's easy to get around although it is not peak season and they don't have as many buses. Everything got much more expensive since you've been here but it is still pretty good in comparison where I come from, Melbourne, Australia. I also had the tax shock upon my arrival as everywhere else it was automatic, including Croatia. In Herceg Novi the owners did it for me but in Budva, Podgorica, Ulcinj and Sutomore I had to do it myself. The worst thing was that I had to catch a bus to Bar and they wouldn't accept owner's details without 'List Nepokretosti', although he handed one before. They insisted that the owner sent it to me electronically. They wouldn't even look at me at the tourist centre Bar. The owner wasn't happy about it so after I waited for him (he was in Podgorica at the time and had to organise this at the same time), he wanted to speak to them on WhatsApp. They were nice suddenly but insisted. After one month the lady told me that I didn't need to register or pay tax any longer and that I could stay here for 90 days. After 90 days I could just leave for a few hours to Albania and come back and continue living here for another 90 days. I didn't trust what she said as I believe there are different rules for the Americans and Australians. It could be the rule for the Russians and similar. Thanks for posting your stuff again :)

[@seanpizzo8256]

I've lived in Montenegro several times for months at a time. I was just there 3 weeks ago. I've never heard of or paid a "tourist tax," and I've been going to and from there since 2010. I've driven across multiple borders and flown dozens and dozens of times, and this is the first time I've ever heard of a tourist tax in Montenegro.

[@seanpizzo8256]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're lying or anything. I'm just saying I've never heard about that or ever had an issue with not paying one. I actually met my wife while living in Montenegro. Her parents live in Andrijevica.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Interesting as we had to pay at both locations and our Airbnb host was very adamant to get this done soon as we arrived. I'm sure, as many things, you can skirt around rules without issue. But we just felt it's never worth that risk. Thanks for watching ☺️

[@scolic03]

Google "prijava boravka".

[@BernhardEhm]

@@seanpizzo8256 well, there is a Tourist Tax in Montenegro (like almost everywhere), but i think, because relatives of property owners (parents-in-law) are excempt, they don´t bother you. And as a rule, most often registration is done not by the tourists themselves, but by the owners of the housing where they stay. This is also regulated by law. It states that all Montenegrin citizens who provide residential space for tourists on legal grounds must register their guests on their own and they have 12 hours to do so. Only if you arrive in Montenegro without a tour package and are not going to stay in an official hotel or hotel should register on their own. But if there was no Registration and Payment, they could fine € 200,- but it seems, the fines are not imposed on all and not always 😉😊

[@dragandragovic8989]

​@@BrianandCarrie If you ever travel again in Montenegro a locals advise is stay in Podgorica ( capital) main train and bus station and they are minutes apart and connect the entire country for day trips and staying in Podgorica is way cheaper then any other place if you rent over booking...also the visa tax we call 'white visa' is not a must just stick to booking. Hope this helped , thanks for the fair video about my home country.

[@nomadicolours]

FYI: The tourist tax is taken directly from Airbnb or hotel that u stay at. So that is confusing info that sounds like you have to go take care of the tourist tax separately.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We had to take care of it separately in Budva and in Kotore. It was not taken directly from Airbnb. Our host in Kotore went with us and showed us how but we paid separately. This video was 3 years ago so it may have change. Thank you for watching!

[@igorlakicmne1181]

It's a good video, but you mention just Kotor and Budva, and there is much more to see. Of course, Kotor is a must for all tourists. At the coast, it is definitely worth visiting the old towns of Bar (which is also the biggest port in Montenegro) and Ulcinj. The old capital Cetinje is full of places to see. The north is beautiful, completely different from the south.

@@BrianandCarrie Hi again - agree the north of Spain will be a lot different to the south - can't wait to see your video on that... Not sure if you want to do a Q&A but if you do I have a couple of questions for you. 1) If you are on prescription meds (we are) how do you get them? 2) how do you go about getting cash? We went to a cash machine and the fees seemed really high. Any tips? Cheers, Ian & Maggie

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi Ian. The prescription med question is a good one. We got extra contact lenses but other than that we don't have any prescription. We understand that if you have a prescription it's not difficult to get what you need in places like Spain or Western Europe where the health care system is very good. This is something we may research more moving forward. Getting cash is easy. We use Charles Schwab that reimburses all ATM fees at the end of each month. We usually take out enough cash to only take advantage of this one time each month. We also use Capital One Visa. You get the best exchange rate this way. Cheers!! 🍻

Hi Jenny and Tom! Yes, we did have a 90 Schengen visa while we visited Spain. Now being in Montenegro, we are out of the Schengen zone and have to remain out for anohter 30 days before we can re-enter. We never did purchase a Eurail pass, we just purchased train tickets as we needed them. I only ever briefly looked into the pass, but with the small amount of transfers we would be doing it didn't seem cost effect. But for furture trips where would be moving around more, it may be a great option. As far as how we handle debit cards for cash withdrawals, we both use Fidelity and Charles Schwab. They both offer debit cards that reimburse your ATM withdrawal fees. We also each have credit cards that have no foreign transaction fees, Capital One Venture is a great option. Sounds like you both have a exciting adventure ahead :) Cheers 🍻

Hi James! You do like to guess! 😆We are headed to Albania next! We are really excited about our next two stops. One for 5 days and the other for a month. You can guess where!!! Cheers!!!🍻

Can I find a friend to send me an invitation to visit Montenegro

[@BrianandCarrie]

You should just go and make new friends while you are there! The people are so friendly. Cheers!!!🍻

Hey guys, thanks for sharing this video. Montenegro is going to be on our list, thanks to you both. How did you travel there? Did you fly in or boat across?

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi Jeff, We flew from Barcelona to Dubrovnik via Amsterdam. We stayed in Dubrovnik a couple days before taking the bus to Kotor. The bus to Kotor was only an hour and 30 minutes, so really easy. Thank you for all your support, we really appreciate it!!! Cheers!!!🍻

I want to move there because Turkey's economy is not good. But I'm sure

[@BrianandCarrie]

It is a beautiful country. We have not been to Turkey yet but it is on our list. Thank you for watching. Cheers!!🍻

[@noongar1234]

how much is the visitor tax?

[@BrianandCarrie]

It's about $30 for a month stay. Not too bad really. Definitely worth it. Cheers 🍻

*Genesis 28:1-4* *King James Version* 28 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 2 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother's brother. 3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

You really should have headed to Herceg Novi. It has the best of both Budva and Kotor. It’s got a better sun location at the mouth of the bay and all south facing vs Kotor is hemmed in by mountains. Also, I found the swimming not so good in Kotor as there are not any good beach locations and a lot of boat traffick!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thanks for the tip Oskar! We really enjoyed our time in Montenegro so eventually, we will be back! We will Check out Herceg Novi!!! Thank you for watching!!! Cheers!!!🍻

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hi Kuchi, we do not have any information that would help you. Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro and may have an embassy of the country you are from that could help you. Good luck and congratulations. Montenegro is a beautiful country to relocate. Thank you so much for the support!!! Cheers 🍻

Worst country I’ve been to. Mediocre at best. People with no manners, bad food (I can’t emphasize this enough), poor infrastructure, horrible traffic… Yes it’s cheaper than it’s rivals in the territory but you get what you pay for. Never again. (Shared opinion of an international group)

[@BrianandCarrie]

We spent two months in Montenegro and found the people very welcoming, however, there is a lot of work that still needs to be done. Thank you for watching our video! Cheers!!!🍻

[@MrBreakingbad]

@@BrianandCarrie If you compare them to Turks or Greeks (great people in terms of hospitality) they come across almost hostile in my opinion. Nice video btw 🙂

[@BrianandCarrie]

We loved our time in Santorini and would agree that we were received very well. We have not made it to Turkey yet but it is on our list. We are in Romania now and getting more comments on our videos from locals on where we should go and what we should see. People actually thank us for visiting their country!! Anyway...thank you for the comments and watching. Safe travels!! Cheers!!!🍻
