I travelled in Montenegro in November 2024, low season and few other tourists. I was lucky with the weather even though during the winter sun goes down early. I was solo traveling and local people were really nice and kind. Totally felt safe even at night. I rent a car and drove by myself with no problems at all. A night in a hostel is around 15€ and food is affordable. Definitely a place to see 💕

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 !!).
Posted: June 28, 2024It'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

Just returned from 3 weeks in Montenegro and Serbia. We loved there are still some places in the world that are rough around the edges. We restricted our coastal time to 5 nights in Kotor - stunning despite the cruise ships and crowds - you just need to step away a little. We weren't looking for a beach so I suppose that colours your experience. Our day trip to Budva by local bus was seriously underwhelming - nice old town but otherwise not impressed. Speedboat trip to the Blue Cave and around the bay from Kotor was great.

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
Posted: March 18, 2024Herceg Novi is a quaint little town. It has some pebble beaches and nice caffes. No major supermarkets. Things to do/see: Savina monastery, boat tour. Very hilly - prepare to walk a lot of stairs. Very safe.
Posted: March 13, 2024Experienced: January, 2024Montenegro stole my heart and I didn't want to leave. I spent 3 days, splitting time between Budva, Kotor, and Perast. Budva wins everything. It was breathtaking and I enjoyed every moment spent there. Kotor was fine, and Perast was also great and peaceful.

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.
