Budva
It’s pretty safe and the locals are always ready to help you. But you need to show strangers/tourists your boundaries, the locals are nice but it’s all about the tourists. But at all it’s pretty safe here especially as a woman

Budva is very safe even late at night I have lived here my whole life and never had an incident coming home alone from the club. The worst that can happen is you getting catcalled but even that us never aggressive in my experience and all my friends experiences

Montenegro is a very safe country. Sometimes tourists can be a little bit boring about certain things, but they are not a problem at all. We are very hospitable and love company. I suggest it as a destination for everyone. I can say that it is perhaps the safest country for tourists.

Generally it is not a too dangerous of a town. It is mostly a family town and I personally am not too worried about my safety when alone. Thag being said I think me living there my whole life has definitely influenced my feelings about its safety.

It is a small city and people are really nice and warm. During summer season there are small ee crimes like pickpocketing but overall it is a safe place. It is mostly family and couples coming over and no need to worry that much. But after all anything can happen so still be aware

I didn’t notice any problems in Podgorica. It seems to be pretty safe. I’m a foreigner here too, I moved to Podgorica in July 2024 and since that time I didn’t face any issues or security problems. Come here and feel safe.

I sadly dont have any pictures but it was beautiful. Most of the city is inside of a medieval walls and they had a carmeval right when I was there. Really beautiful. Good food. Amazing view. Beautiful in general.

I came here to move to Podgorica. It’s not a bad city for living, but not the best too. I wouldn’t recommend it to travel, maybe just as a one time trip to eat cheap than on the coast side. I recommend you to eat in Pod volat or Ðedovina. Those restaurants are not that expensive, but it’s good there and tasty. Podgorica is cheaper than many other places (for renting an apartment for instance), but it’s also not that beautiful and interesting.
