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.

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.

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.
