Comfortable accommodation in Montenegro: a city where you will be fine

For those who are thoroughly planning to stay in Montenegro, it will be useful to at least roughly get acquainted with the situation in the cities "from within", to consider all the pros and cons from the point of view of people who have lived here for some time. The north of the country will not be considered, because it is not popular at the time of moving-somehow or another, everyone is trying to choose a city by the sea.

Bar

A fairly large port city with several pebble beaches. This is one of the few cities in the country, built with proper planning of the streets, which eventually provided him with wide avenues, convenient sidewalks and the possibility to build high-rise buildings.

In the Bar relatively low prices for food in comparison with other cities on the coast, rather humane prices in cafes and restaurants, but the taxi - one of the most expensive: you pay 80 cents just for getting into the car, plus every kilometer of the way will cost you another in the same amount.

Here there are major trading networks: HDL, Voli, Maxi, Franca and even a round-the-clock Kaca in the center. The presence of a seaport will allow you to cheaply visit the ferry to Italy, and the railway station - to get to Podgorica or Belgrade. Again, this is the only city on the coast with a railway connection. Ticket for an electric train to Podgorica costs, by the way, only 2 euros.

For those who do not care about the opening of the company and live as a tourist, the closeness of the border with Albania will be very useful. The checkpoint "Sukobin" is only 25 kilometers away, and the so-called "Sukobin". visarun in the end will cost quite inexpensively.

Budva

Permanent residence in Montenegro in most of our compatriots is associated with Budva. I can not say exactly what attracts them there, but I believe that this is a longing for city fuss and a quick rhythm of life that is unconventional for Montenegro. Budva really "lives", and even outside the season, you can meet many tourists from all over the world. The charming Old Town, lots of shops and restaurants, really good hotels - all this every year attracts more and more new people.

A huge plus - not far from Budva are the best beaches of the country: Plavi Horizonte and Ploce, and there even go shuttles. And if you go the other way, then very near the famous island of Sveti Stefan.

Cons: unusual road chaos and fuss, lack of free parking spaces, expensive taxis and some of the highest prices for food in the country as a payment for popularity among tourists.

Podgorica

The unofficial capital of Montenegro, a city rebuilt anew after the Second World War. This completely transformed Podgorica and, unfortunately, not in the best direction: hundreds of faceless gray Yugoslav boxes became the haven of its inhabitants, and only in the early 2000s construction and urban design reached a new, better level.

The city is undoubtedly huge by local standards, there are a lot of shopping centers, an excellent cinema, hotels, wide streets, a stadium that meets the standards of international competitions, and many, many other things that usually do not have enough in other cities.

Absence of the sea and many tourists influenced prices: both for rent and for food, they are among the lowest in the country. The presence of the railway and the airport only increases the number of advantages. But this is not all transport advantages - also here is the cheapest in the country of a taxi: a free feed and 35 cents per kilometer.

From the minuses you can note the hopeless summer heat, when the city simply dies out - almost all residents at any opportunity travel to the beaches and the north of the country.

Tivat

A small cozy city, besides it is next to the second airport of the country - it mainly serves flights from Russia and Ukraine. Also in Tivat there is another visiting card of the country - Port of Montenegro - one of the most expensive and luxurious ports in Europe. Thoughtful infrastructure, excellent restaurants and stylish shops, beautiful white yachts, an atmosphere of luxury and carefree - for this it is worth to visit the city.

The rest of it is no different from most of the coastal cities: 3-4 storey buildings and narrow streets in the greenery of trees. Prices are also on average in the country. Near the city there is a megamarket network HDL, and at the bus station opened a large and beautiful Voli.

Some significant advantages or disadvantages are difficult to distinguish, but we can note a good location - from here it is close to get to almost anywhere in the country.

Kotor and Boka-Kotor Bay (Perast, Risan)

Kotor and Boka - definitely in the top five most beautiful places in Montenegro. Live there - a solid aesthetic pleasure: old houses, fortresses and a charming promenade, several islands, which can be accessed from Perast. In Kotor there is a single port capable of receiving passenger multi-deck liners, from there you can go on a cruise on the Mediterranean and not only.

Kotor is a city of paid parking lots and summer traffic jams. A huge number of foreign tourists come to see the Old Town and the fortress, so that prices in restaurants can upset you a little - on average, they are higher by 30 percent than in other cities.

Beauty after a couple of months bores, but the inconvenience will not go away.

Herceg-Novi

A beautiful promenade, ideal for long walks before going to bed. The city itself is located in the mountains, which is both its plus and minus. Plus - excellent views from almost any window, and minus - numerous slides and elevations, stairs and steps.

Not far from the city there is already a border with Bosnia, which is beneficial for wizars and crossings between bogs, and on the other hand is the largest medical center in the territory of the former Yugoslavia - Igalo.

Of the significant disadvantages, apart from slides, one can note the absence of large trading networks and markets, which has a slight impact on the prices of food and household goods.
