Is Montenegro good for solo travel?

Safety:

Safety:Safe

Montenegro generally offers a safe environment for solo female travelers, with friendly locals and well-established tourist infrastructure. However, like any place in the world, it is advised to maintain alertness, especially during late hours. Basic precautions like not walking alone in desolate areas and securing your belongings can help ensure a smooth experience. It's also worth mentioning that few locals might not speak fluent English so learning a bit of local language might come handy.
Transport:

Transport:Easy

Travelling around Montenegro is relatively easy. The country is small, thus most of the attractions are within a short distance. The local buses connecting towns and cities run frequently. However, tours to major sights may need to be arranged separately as public transport to these locations can be limited. Major cities are safe, pedestrian-friendly and are easy to navigate. While English is not widely spoken, locals are warm and often go out of their way to assist.
Things to do:

Things to do:Interesting

Montenegro offers a rich mix of cultural and outdoor activities. Its stunning nature, including mountains, beaches, and lakes, provides plenty of opportunities for hiking, swimming, boating, and exploring. The historic cities are packed with unique architecture, charming streets, and museums. The local cuisine and wineries are also a delight. However, depending on personal interests, some travelers may find the available activities somewhat limited.
Food:

Food:Above average

The food in Montenegro is a delightful blend of Italian, Mediterranean, and Balkan influences. It offers a variety of options from locally sourced seafood, award-winning prosciutto, hearty meat stews to fresh organic vegetables. Dairy products and homemade wine are also highlights of their cuisine. However, it might be a bit less appealing for vegetarians or those seeking non-European cuisines as the choices are comparatively limited in that aspect.
Budget:

Budget:Affordable

Montenegro is quite budget-friendly for travelers. Accommodation, food, and activities are reasonably priced, making it a great destination for those trying to keep their travel costs low. Public transportation and locally sourced meals are particularly affordable, allowing for a more immersive experience without a high price tag. However, some tourist hotspots may have higher prices, as with any destination.

Couple travel experience

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 !!).

Solo travel experience

Montenegro 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.

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

Kotor was absolutely my favorite place, it literally swept me off my feet. I visited Zagreb, Split, Herceg Novi (it wasn't my favorite place, very beautiful, but not much to do), Kotor and Budva - I regret not skipping Budva and spending more time in Kotor, because I liked it so much there.

Is Montenegro safe for women?

Anastasija

Anastasija

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.
