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

Kotor was my absolute favorite place, it literally blew my mind. I did Zagreb to Split to Herceg Novi (wasn’t my favorite place, very beautiful but not a lot to do) to Kotor to Budva - I wished I had skipped Budva and just spent the extra time in Kotor because I loved it so much.

I have been to Montenegro a few times, very safe, 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, seaside towns are much nicer.

Montenegro is a great country to solo travel. I was there in February. It was out of season and was a bit dead, didn't meet so many people. I couch-surfed a few places, so met people that way. In Kotor, I stayed at the Old Town hostel. There were a few guests in the hostel. The staff was also very friendly and up for a chat. The weather was all over the place, had a bit of snow, but also some really nice and sunny days. Recommend skipping Podgorica, it's the most boring capital in Europe.

Loved my time in Montenegro last year. I liked all the towns along the coast: Budva, Tivat, and Herceg Novi. I found it hard to get around without a car. The bus service is unreliable and takes forever to get anywhere. I recommend going to Skadar Lake, Sveti Stefan, and exploring the old towns.

I stayed in Budva when I went to Montenegro. Nice small town. Did a bus trip from there to Cetinja and Kotor, which were both beautiful.

I spent two weeks in Montenegro not so long ago. Beautiful country, spent time exploring Kotor and Budva and took a day trip to Cetinje - the former capital of Montenegro.

Montenegro is perfectly safe. Everyone is very nice. I was on a sail boat and got off every evening when docked. Had the most fun at this bar in Hercig Novi where everyone sits on the wall. Lots of locals. They all speak English.
