Is Montenegro Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

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.

It's fully safe and food was amazing. It's like you are walking in history. Wine and pizza was amazing, nature is so beautiful. People was very kind and hostable. Traditional foods are very delicious

Group travel experience

I have been doing autostop with my two friends for two weeks and it’s been my favororite country to for autostop so far. The people have been so kind, and we felt safer than in Italy. So 100% recommend

Solo travel experience

Montenegro is the most beautiful, breathtaking country I have visited. There were mountains, forests, beaches, history, and delicious food, the people were so friendly, and I felt safest there.

Solo travel experience

Montenegro is absolutely beautiful and quite affordable. People were really nice, and I consider this place to be great and safe for solo travels as a girl.

Solo travel experience

Montenegro is stunning and still even more wild. There are no crowds (even in the most popular city, Kotor, it is manageable). Hotels, restaurants and tours are really affordable, much cheaper than in Croatia. The coastline is mainly rocky, but the water is beautiful. Amazing views, safety and incredible food. However, in terms of nightlife, I felt disappointed.

Solo travel experience

I have been to Montenegro several times, it's very safe there, and the locals are very helpful. I liked Kotor, Perast and Tivat. I didn't enjoy Budva and Bar (a bit dirty and too touristy). Also, Podgorica is nothing special, the seaside towns are much prettier.

Solo travel experience

Montenegro is absolutely safe. Everyone is very nice. I sailed a boat and got off every evening when we moored. I had the most fun in this bar in Herceg Novi, where everyone sits on the wall. Many local people. Everyone speaks English.

Solo travel experience

Travel plan: Kotor: 3 days Žabljak: 2 days Budva: 2 days Ulcinj: 2 days Safety: This place is as safe as any other place you visit. Just use your common sense. Recommendations: Montenegro is so small, yet so beautiful and charming.

Solo travel experience

Travel plan: 2 days on Lake Skadar + Godinje 2 days in Budva 2 days in Kotor Safety: 100% safe Recommendations: Montenegro is one of the most underrated countries I have visited.

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.

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 !!).
