]]>Ulcinj offers something for everyone. You’ll be able to find lively public beaches with blasting music and party all around, as well as small beaches that offer some peace and quiet.

]]>You can mostly get through using your credit card in tourist hotspots like Budva and Ulcinj. However, having some cash in your pocket will prove a lifesaver, especially if you decide to go further inland. Also, the country doesn’t have its own currency and instead uses Euro despite not being part of the European Union.
The country is quite welcoming to U.S. citizens, and you won’t need a visa to enter the country. Your passport alone will get you in, and you can stay for 90 days during a 180-day period.
Montenegro requires foreigners who are visiting for tourist purposes to pay a tourist tax. You can do this at a police station, post office, and several other places. Sometimes your accommodation provider, especially hotels, will take care of this for you. While the sum isn’t anything outrageous, being around 1€ per day, you need to pay it to avoid steep fines.
If you are there for a short visit, then buses and trains will serve you well. However, if you are staying for longer and want to explore the country properly, renting a car is a smart idea. Public transport can be rather ineffective, and you’ll find it complicated to hit all the spots you want to reach.

]]>Located on the Bay of Kotor, Kotor’s old town is one of the best-preserved fortified medieval towns on the Adriatic coast. It has a distinct Venetian style, with winding alleys, old barracks, museums, churches, and delicious foods offered by both sidewalk cafes and traditional restaurants alike. The bay itself offers treks and stunning views to those willing to climb.
The second deepest canyon in the world (after the Grand Canyon), Tara Canyon is a must to explore whether it’s by whitewater raft, zip line, or bridge crossing. All of these will take your breath away, and some might even raise your heart rate, which is great for adventure seekers.
A previous capital of Montenegro, Cetinje is a 15th-century town whose prior embassies have been turned into academies and museums. It’s a great place to get lost for an afternoon, offering a fascinating glimpse into Montenegro’s past.
