How safe is Montenegro?
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 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

Podgorica
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.

You can walk around alone night time, people are all kind and respectful. Never worry about intruders. I don't even lock the apartment door. You can even see young girls sitting at the park and chatting during night.

Nikšić is very safe town with locals that are very kind especially for tourists and new people! You can feel free in every corner and don't worry about anything. Niksic is non-touristic place and probably you will have feeling that everyone is looking at you 😅

it’s rather small and almost everybody knows or just met each other at least onse. People are very friendly to visitors, tourism is their main income. The locals are so measured and unflappable that it is impossible to stir them up even when it is necessary.😅

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.

Podgorica, Couple travel
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.

It was so safe country. And people are so kind. Small and naturel country. I recommend to go in spring or summer time. I been there in winter as well. Its mostly rainy and boring. Its easier to use taxi. Bus takes long time and not usefull.
