across a solid line even when the oncoming lane isn&#8217;t necessarily clear. I recommend keeping a big enough distance from the car in front throughout the drive to avoid a collision in an emergency stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few police on the roads, and they usually stop drivers for speeding (usually 80 on intercity roads and 50 in towns), lights (which must be on day and night) and seat belts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the north of the country there aren&#8217;t many gas stations, so when you see one, I recommend filling up.<\/p>\n<p>Total kilometers driven on our route: 689.5 km.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8911593 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8911593\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">In hindsight..<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Because the roads in most parts of Montenegro are very narrow, there are quite a few situations where you have to pull onto the shoulder.<br \/>So I recommend renting a higher car.<br \/>We traveled with a Hyundai i10, and throughout the trip we were worried it would get damaged.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1851758 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1851758\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/check-in-out.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/rent_a_car_montenegro.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-53949\" alt=\"Car rental in Montenegro\" srcset=\"https:\/\/check-in-out.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/rent_a_car_montenegro.jpg 800w, https:\/\/check-in-out.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/rent_a_car_montenegro-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/check-in-out.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/rent_a_car_montenegro-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5593fe2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5593fe2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 1: Landing, Budva, Podgorica, Lake Skadar<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58ad436 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58ad436\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our flight to Montenegro was early in the morning, at 5:50, and we landed at Tivat airport after a sleepless night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d8d48e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9d8d48e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tivat Airport<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4619fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4619fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The airport is very small.<br \/>It has two terminals (Terminal 2 is open only in the tourist season).<br \/>At the exit from the airport there are several caf\u00e9s, a small kiosk (where you can buy a local SIM) and car rental desks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong> If you&#8217;ve booked a car from one of the local companies, they&#8217;ll be waiting for you outside the airport building.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21895b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21895b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We decided to skip a visit to the town of Tivat and drive straight to our first stop, Budva.<br \/>On the way we stopped at a caf\u00e9,\u00a0<span style=\"color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: right;\">El Rey Caffe Bar<\/span>.

the E65 road (the road connecting Podgorica and Belgrade) there&#8217;s an easy-to-miss turn onto a dirt road to reach the start of the canyon trail. <br \/>A beautiful and slightly challenging trail.<\/p>\n<p>Continue along the dirt road until you reach a parking area with stalls next to a fairly large building.<br \/>Note that you have to drive along a dirt road with a few potholes, which can be a problem if you&#8217;re traveling in a low car.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve parked, continue along the dirt road until you reach the way down to the start of the trail (it&#8217;s very easy to miss, so I recommend using Maps.me to find the path). <br \/>The trail starts with a very steep descent through very dense vegetation.<br \/>After a 30-minute descent you reach the river.\u00a0<br \/>The water in the river comes from melting snow, so the flow peaks in spring and early summer. <br \/>The river water is drinkable and swimming in the river is allowed, although the water is very cold in every month of the year. <br \/>We visited the trail in autumn, and there was water flowing in the river.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The walking trail along the canyon is 12 kilometers each way (it takes about 6 hours each way). <br \/>You return on the same trail.<br \/>We got to the canyon late, so we only walked as far as its first two bridges and went back to the car.<br \/>The visit to the canyon

While we were taking photos, we met a local guy who told us about another recommended route: a walking trail, after which you can take a chairlift up to one of the peaks, where there&#8217;s a challenging loop trail that fit our time frame.<\/p>\n<p>So we started walking, on his recommendation, along the path leading to the chairlifts.<br \/>An hour&#8217;s walk on a trail with quite a few gentle ups and downs, with lovely autumn scenery.<br \/>When we reached the chairlift we saw it wasn&#8217;t running.<br \/>The chairlift is closed in October for maintenance (we also discovered that you can drive all the way to the chairlifts).<br \/>We could have walked up to the peak (a very steep, long climb), but the whole trail is exposed to the sun and we&#8217;d hit a very hot day.<\/p>\n<p>Disappointed, we retraced our steps and did the trail the staff member had recommended in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>The first part of the trail was easy, beautiful and shaded, suitable for the whole family.<br \/>The second part, the climb to the viewpoint over Jablan Lake, was very hard.<br \/>A very steep, long climb.<br \/>In less than an hour we climbed more than 500 meters.<\/p>\n<p>The trail that was recommended to us took us about 7 hours.<br \/>A great trail for keen hikers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

and the island of Our Lady of the Rocks.<\/p>\n<p>At the entrance to the town there&#8217;s a parking lot that costs 5 euros for the whole day.\u00a0<br \/>When we arrived, a local guy came up to us and said we could book a boat trip that included the parking for 10 euros per person.<br \/>So we went with him.<\/p>\n<p>An hour-long boat trip in total, with a stop to visit Our Lady of the Rocks.<br \/>Entering the church on the island costs another 2 euros.\u00a0<br \/>The church holds thousands of items, precious and simple, and on its upper floor there&#8217;s an art exhibition by international artists.<br \/>In my opinion you can skip going into the church.<\/p>\n<p>After the boat trip we walked along the Perast promenade and discovered that other agencies offer boat trips for

through which you can set off on the climb to Kotor Fortress.<\/p>\n<p>Entry to the fortress cost 8 euros per person at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The way up is full of spectacular views over the Bay of Kotor.<br \/>The climb to the upper part of the fortress involves about 1,350 stone steps. Some of the flights of steps aren&#8217;t properly maintained and can be slippery. I recommend not rushing and not climbing on rainy days.<br \/>It&#8217;s also a good idea to set off early in the morning, when the side of the mountain with the steps is in the shade.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d509cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d509cd\"
