Not everyone has seen Montenegro in winter –, which is understandable. For various reasons, most of us can only afford one vacation a year and strive for it to be in the summer. But if you absolutely can't take a summer vacation, but you desperately want to get away, get a change of scenery, relax your mind and body, indulge in a culinary feast, take stunning photos… the list goes on! –, then Montenegro welcomes you in winter too.
Many people know and have visited Montenegro in the summer, swimming in pristine bays and basking in the gentle (and sometimes scorching!) sun in mid-July. But not everyone has experienced winter Montenegro. This is understandable: for various reasons, most of us can only afford one vacation a year and strive for it to be in the summer. But if you simply can't take a summer vacation, but you desperately want to escape, get a change of scenery, relax your mind and body, indulge in a culinary feast, take stunning photos… the list goes on! Then Montenegro welcomes you in winter too. Swimming is all you need in winter, but otherwise, I see only positives! Below I'll list them and include colorful photos of Montenegro in winter to support my thesis that a winter vacation in Montenegro is a true find for romantics!
1. Entry to Montenegro for Russians is still visa-free for one month (unlike, for example, from Croatia).
2. The average daytime temperature on the Montenegrin coast in January is around +10°C (50°F). It rains in winter. Bring a good umbrella, and even better, rubber boots, so wet feet don't interfere with your sightseeing! There's no snow on the coast. Snow falls on the mountain peaks; occasionally, the wind blows it down, but it melts quickly.
3. In winter, there are no crowds of tourists like in the summer. Montenegro is yours! The deserted narrow streets of the old towns, the beaches suddenly feel more spacious, you can even run without worrying about stepping on anyone. Sit and listen to the sound of the surf, watch the fishermen and seagulls… where's my glass of Vranac?
4. Prices in restaurants are lower than in high season. Many summer restaurants are closed, but from those that are open, a new restaurant will be enough for you every day 🙂
5. Car rental is also cheaper! It's low season. Housing is 2-3 times cheaper than in high season! Flights are cheaper too!
6. A small minus - large sightseeing buses do not depart often. But in winter, individual guides still work, who will also make a discount in winter. But individual excursions are always better than group ones, because no one rushes you, you take pictures as much as you like, you stop where you want and for as long as you want ...
Welcome to Montenegro in winter too! 🙂
