Tivat

Have been living here for three years and I would say that Tivat os the safest place I’ve been to. I am not encouraging you to leave your phone or other stuff somewhere, but when I accidentally did that, left the place and forgot for some time, when I came back, people in the restaurant gave it back to me. The same with beaches, we can leave all our stuff on the table and go to swim in the sea without even worrying about something is being stolen.

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

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

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.

Bar

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.

Bar, Couple travel

It felt safe, people were friendly and helpful. During winter finding a taxi was a little bit hard but overall everything was fine. Although some parts of Bar were on the hills, it might make it harder for some people, we were fine
