We loved, loved, loved Montenegro! We vacationed there a few years and this video brings back so many great memories. When walking around shops or eating in outdoor cafes it seems like a fairy tail, beautiful.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hey Chris & Tovah! We share the same sentiment as you with Montenegro. The area around Kotor was breathtaking and having lunch overlooking the bay was an experience we won't forget any time soon! The beaches around Budva were also amazing. Thanks for watching and we hope you are both well. -Jon

[@mrp5169]

Is it cheaper than UK for beer, wine , eating out?

[@ganeshr4371]

Montenegro or Italy or Croatia or Spain Or Portugal which is the best and your favorite ?

[@dianezell78]

I stayed at Marinero Apartments in Budva. Like staying at a Luxury apt. In the states. The owners were splendidly hospitable & it was very inexpensive.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Great to hear you had an amazing time. We found Montenegro great value overall too. Thanks for watching!

[@ElwoodPDowd-ed7pc]

Sounds very affordable, I’m on a fixed income and this fits it perfectly. I will continue to research the area. Thanks for sharing!

[@BucketListTravellers]

hi there, thanks for watching! Yes, we found it to be a more affordable alternative to Croatia. That said, Croatia is amazing and worth visiting too if you can.

[@helennuttall]

Really looking forward to this series guys! It looks even more mountainous than Croatia and the beach at Budva looks gorgeous….🥰

[@BucketListTravellers]

The bay of Kotor was especially breathtaking with the big mountains overlooking the water! Budva had some of the best beaches we had come across so far in Europe, really pretty! Thanks for watching Helen!

Well that's not true for peak season which is 4times as expensive.. July 2024. -Daily spendings food and sunbeds 50eur. -A decent apartment is 150-200eur a day. Item costs: -Sunbeds 15-20eur. -Food 11-35eur. Pasta to meat dishes -drinks 6-9eur, beer 6eur. -short boat tour 7eur to 3hours for 20eur. -Nightclub entrance 20eur. As expensive as Croatia or French Riviera actually

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi @dagg497, thanks so much for providing us with an update. We should stress that we were there in the shoulder season (April/May) of 2022 and would recommend this as the best time of year to visit.Thanks for watching.

[@dmitrykh9183]

People of Montenegro are very nice and friendly - but they are strictly against any pricelists, tickets or whatever documents mentioning the fact they will be or were paid for something (i.e. owe taxes to the state). You can pay 200-300 euro for a family rafting and get a piece of paper with a handwritten "5 persons" - or just verbal "Ok, be here in 20 min". Needless to say that credit cards are rarely accepted, except supermarkets and some restaurants, as well as many apartments either do not list themselves at the aggregators or require a payment to be made by cash - however, there is a plenty of ATMs. Having this said - "deal is deal", i.e. if you paid for a two-way tip to an island and agreed that they will pick you in 5 hours - relax and enjoy the beach, 10 minutes to the given time the boat will appear. The country is generally safe, we haven't seen any rude, aggressive or intoxicated people at any time of day or night. In the very tourist places - do not buy the tickets from the first guy/gal, especially at the parking - because at the entry or boat itself same tour can be 3 times cheaper ;) At Virpazar, we were "unwelcomed" by some guys who told us that if we do not buy from them - our car, parked in a quite nowhere along with ~20 others "will not be safe and can be hit by something". I moved it to the same ad-hoc parking on the other side of a motorway and nothing happened.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that Montenegro is such a friendly and safe place overall, even though there are some quirks when it comes to payments and tickets. We found it really interesting how some things are done on a trust basis, and it’s always good advice to shop around for tours! Your tips about parking and dealing with vendors are super helpful for anyone visiting Montenegro. We’re glad nothing happened with your car, and it’s good to know the country is generally safe. 😊

[@iCameForFlesh666]

Remember viewers, there are many many places with lovely scenery across the world that one can visit. What many of these couple vloggers fail to mention is that Montenegro is very poor, the infrastructure is crumbling underfoot, trash and graffiti are everywhere, and you will frequently smell sewage. So outside of the uninhabited portions of the country, it’s straight up gross.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, thanks for watching. We didn't experience what you were describing in the 2 weeks we spent there, however only travelled along the coastline. Yes,whilst there are plenty of places around the world with nice scenery, we found the bay of Kotor was really unique and breathtaking.

[@iCameForFlesh666]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ashleighrobson4748]

How warm is it in May? 😊

[@BucketListTravellers]

We were there mid May and it was starting to heat up. We would say that the weather was perfect at around 25-27C/77-80F. It was definitely warm enough for a swim, althought the water was still cool at around 18C/65F.

[@iukguy1]

Can i know which local bus service i should travel from town to town? Is there name of bus service with website?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, we put together more detailed information on this in our Montenegro destination guide blog, you can find it here: jjbucketlisttravellers.com/destinations/montenegro/#montenegro-travel-guide-how-to-get-around-montenegro. If you go into our destination guides for each of the cities, there will be more information about getting in between towns. We hope you find this helpful.

[@mat8650]

I will travel to Montenegro next week by car. I don’t need any luxury. Will be more ar mountain side. So far i didn’t book anything in advance. Will I be able to find max 30 eur accommodation there?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, you are heading into the peak season, so it might not be that easy. We have budget accommodation recommendations in our travel guides for kotor, Budhva and Ulcinj. You can find them here: jjbucketlisttravellers.com/destinations/montenegro/ Good luck!

How you sir can get visa for Montenegro please tell me

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, we were able to enter the country without any requirements for a visa and we are Australian. Your circumstances would depend on your country and we don't have any expertise in this area to help unfortunately.

[@CulinaryVoyages]

Do you have any suggestions for the scooty rental in Montenegro?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Hi there, sorry we didn't look into the scooter rental while we were in Montenegro. Most of the places we visited were easy enough to walk around. There were regular shuttle buses from city to city as well, which was helpful. That said, having a scooter would be very handy to visit some of the nice beaches along the coast or some of the smaller towns, like Perast.

[@OrGoTravel]

That's a very good deal for a big pot of fish.

[@BucketListTravellers]

Yes it really was a big pot of fish and very tasty too! Thanks for watching!

[@ganeshr4371]

Montenegro or Italy or Croatia or Spain Or Portugal which is the best and your favorite ?

[@BucketListTravellers]

Great question! We spent 2 months in Croatia and would have to say it was our favourite. That said, we hear that since the Euro has been introduced it is a lot more expensive to visit. Montenegro is a great alternative to Croatia we found, and cheaper. Spain was pretty awesome and we definitely want to return to explore more. We haven't yet been to Portugal but definitely want to visit. Italy was ok, but would probably be at the bottom of your list.

[@ganeshr4371]

@@BucketListTravellers wow Italy was ok ??Not sure it's most talked about country for travellers. Interesting. Thank you so much.

[@ganeshr4371]

@@BucketListTravellers Just curious Italy was just ok ????? what was irritating ? what you didn't like it ?

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@ganeshr4371 I think places like Italy have been default bucket list destinations for people for such a long time. It also comes with high expectations. We found it just ok, part of it was that it was more expensive than we expected, especially after spending 6 weeks in South France.

[@BucketListTravellers]

@@ganeshr4371 One thing that comes to mind are cover charges in restaurants. We also found that the accommodation in our typical price range (up to 50Eur a night) wasn't good value relative to France or other European countries.

[@elina33]

Wow our hotel for 5 nights costs more than your whole trip for 10 days 😁

[@BucketListTravellers]

We travel very thriftly that's for sure! That is necessary when you plan to travel for the majority of the year. That said, we do spurge on nice accommodation every once in a while. We also try to avoid peak seasons, especially in Europe, and that helps. Thanks for watching!

Yes it was in Kotor and this was May! There are around 3 cruise ships that come each day and it gets pretty hectic. It then quietens down in the evening and is charming to venture through.

Ottoman empire , stayed for 450 years and day left , can you imagine slave people day live in the Adreatic , because still the name of the Adreatic see still today is from the ILIRIEN Kingdom , ALBANIAN people today ok wery good apartments ,

There is a lot of history in Montenegro and the Balkans. We agree with you that the apartments in Albania are great.

Absolute Shill. The prices are the same as everywhere. Besides you get ripped off where possible. Crappy Sunbed - 35€/day. Parking neae the Beach 4€/hour.

We visited outside the peak season and it makes a real difference. Yeah we know what you mean about the sunbeds, that really gets us annoyed too. Thanks for watching.
