How safe is Montenegro for women?

Ulcinj is a very small town and it's really safe. Of course during the summer and tourist season the safety can be slightly compromised, because of thousands of tourists coming to visit, but in general Ulcinj is really safe for solo female travelers.

Definitely one of the safest places in the world for women! The country is very small, with not even a million people living in the entire country and therefore being an extremely safe place where everyone knows everyone. Homelessness is almost non existent and the only beggars and potential thieves (although they're mostly harmless too) are located in a specific area of the city that nobody goes to because it is way outside town (talking about the capital here, Podgorica). This area has nothing but the houses they live in so there is never a reason for a traveller to go there whatsoever. Other than Podgorica, walking all alone here in the middle of the night is as safe as it gets for a country.

Podgorica
Podgorica is very safe for women! You might get stares from men/people. But other than that, you don't need to be afraid. I'm pretty sure catcalling doesn't happen to foreigners 😅 Sometimes guys would do it here, but I don't think it happens to foreigners, cus the guys who do it are dumb, and don't speak foreign languages anyways 😅

Tivat
Tivat is a small town where I have absolutely no concerns about safety on the streets or in bars. People here are considerate and helpful. I have been living here for the second year, and I have never witnessed any violence, even in public transport, where I feel safe even at night.

I can highly recommend Rafailovici, Budva in Montenegro as solo travel. I felt very safe. People were so nice and helpful. The men do like to talk to you, but also understand if you say no and won't follow you. The area is really beautiful and there's many tours to go on. If you're vegetarian, the food isn't the best, but if not, I think the food will be very good.

i was in Montenegronin three times, first in a roadtrip with a van, second time in a solo trip with a hamock and third time in a roadtrip with a tent. When I was a solo trip I also feel safe, tha people was kind, the food is good and cheap, i find vegan options too. The only problem with this coutry is a trash.

I visited Montenegro with my partner to go hiking in June. The nature is very divers throughout Montenegro. You got beautiful beaches right at the sea, rivers and lakes, surrounded by green mountains, at which trees are growing. The whole country seems to be in an uprising state, they are still building there cities and roads and just seem to start tourism in generell. If you go visits places more rural, closer to Durmitor National Park f.e. There are campsites, that are quite new and are still being built, but they are super cheap. All of our hosts were very friendly and offered advises and ideas on where to go and even warned us from the weather, that changes quickly in the mountains. In the second biggest city in Montenegro Niksic, you can eat hamburgers von 2€, not vegetarian friendly at all, but my partner says it was the best he had in a long time ;) no local kitchen, but very good indeed. The city is charming and very empty in generell, but if you are a fan of brutalism and lost places, it’s worth a visit. In the next years, I would definitely go again, but I would recommend going by car, because others transports are rare, but we saw many people hitchhiking, which seems to be a big things there (but primary men and no solo-travelling women, keep care !!).
