The peak summer season in July and August brings temperatures climbing towards 35 degrees, which <strong>can be quite exhausting when walking around the sun-baked ruins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting alternative is a visit in November, when <strong>the historic lanes host the famous olive festival Maslinijada<\/strong>. Winter on the coast is very mild and <strong>offers a unique chance to explore the historic sights in complete peace<\/strong> \u2014 you&#8217;ll just need to pack a warmer jumper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2e80cf269&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2e80cf269\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Bar and the surrounding area\" class=\"wp-image-234425\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kde-se-ubytovat-v-baru-a-okoli-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: chenyingphoto \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Bar_and_the_surrounding_area\"><\/span>Where to stay in Bar and the surrounding area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Accommodation and experiences tip: We like to look for accommodation on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Stari%20Bar&#038;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Booking.com<\/a>, where the cancellation terms tend to be best.

Stari Bar lies about four kilometres from the coast and <strong>is one of the largest abandoned medieval towns in the Balkans<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find more than 240 ruined buildings here, swallowed up by wild nature and cypress trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town took a hard hit in 1878 during a military siege, but <strong>the definitive end came with the enormous earthquake in April 1979<\/strong>. The residents then moved down to the sea and the historic centre was left abandoned, which is how it earned its nickname of the Montenegrin Pompeii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you walk around, don&#8217;t miss <strong>the imposing 17th-century Ottoman aqueduct<\/strong>, the Clock Tower, or the remains of old mosques and churches. In 2026 admission costs 5 euros for an adult, and in summer the site is open from eight in the morning until eight in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: <strong>Come right at opening time or in the late afternoon<\/strong>, because the midday sun among the stone ruins is truly merciless.

They&#8217;re then pressed into an exclusive local oil that is the pride of the entire region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The place also has a lovely legend tied to its name. The word Mirovica comes from &#8220;mir&#8221; (peace), because <strong>it was beneath this tree&#8217;s canopy that feuding families would once make their peace<\/strong>. Admission to the small enclosed grounds is a symbolic 1 euro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2e80d0ece&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2e80d0ece\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1348\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2.jpg\" alt=\"King Nikola&#039;s Palace on the promenade in Bar\" class=\"wp-image-234651\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2-700x491.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2-696x489.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-dvorac-fix2-1392x977.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Raymond Zoller from Bar, Montenegro \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_King_Nikolas_Palace_and_the_promenade\"><\/span>4.

The former summer residence of the Montenegrin ruler <strong>boasts beautiful architecture and is surrounded by a sprawling botanical garden<\/strong> full of rare trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently there was an interesting museum inside, but <strong>since 2023 the palace has unfortunately been closed for extensive renovation<\/strong>. Before your trip it&#8217;s worth checking the current situation so you&#8217;re not disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you can&#8217;t get inside, <strong>the park itself and the adjoining seafront promenade are well worth a stroll<\/strong>. It&#8217;s lined with tall palm trees and pleasant caf\u00e9s, and in the evening it turns into a lively promenade where local families come for ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2e80d1426&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2e80d1426\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira.jpg\" alt=\"The Cathedral of St Jovan Vladimir in Bar with golden domes\" class=\"wp-image-234343\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-chram-sv-jovana-vladimira-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"stari bar\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-26T02:30:24+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Just don&#8217;t forget appropriate clothing \u2014 covered shoulders and knees are required for both men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: <strong>You&#8217;ll get the most beautiful photos of the golden domes early in the morning<\/strong>, when the rising sun reflects off them and the sky tends to be at its clearest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2e80d1add&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2e80d1add\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"889\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix.jpg\" alt=\"The sandy beach in Sutomore\" class=\"wp-image-234612\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix-700x324.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix-768x356.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix-1536x711.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix-696x322.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bar-sutomore-fix-1392x645.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Diego Delso \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_beaches_of_Sutomore_Red_Beach_and_Kraljicina_plaza\"><\/span>6.

Fish lovers, meanwhile, will appreciate the fresh catch straight from the harbour, served by most of the beach restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An absolute treasure is Montenegrin olive oil. <strong>The local oil is noticeably more peppery and aromatic than the kind you know from the supermarket<\/strong>, and a bottle bought at the Friday market in Stara \u010car\u0161ija is the best souvenir you can take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a3e2e80d36af&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a3e2e80d36af\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru.jpg\" alt=\"Where to go next from Bar\" class=\"wp-image-234437\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/stari-bar-kam-dal-z-baru-696x522.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Marek K.

The fastest way is to take a taxi, which will cost you around 5 euros. During the summer season, there&#8217;s also a local bus service, or you can take a longer walk on foot, which takes about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781085112001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_admission_to_the_ruins_and_the_old_olive_tree_cost\"><\/span>How much does admission to the ruins and the old olive tree cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The entrance fee to the historic complex of Stari Bar is 5 euros for adults (approximately 125 CZK) and 1 euro for children (approximately 25 CZK). Cash payment only. For a visit to the oldest olive tree (Stara Maslina) in nearby Mirovica, you&#8217;ll pay a symbolic 1 euro for adults and 50 cents for children.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781085112002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_ferry_to_Italy_still_running\"><\/span>Is the ferry to Italy still running?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nYes, the local port operates regular connections with the Italian city of Bari. The crossing takes approximately eight to nine hours and prices for a basic ticket start at 78 euros (about 1950 CZK). During the summer months, it&#8217;s necessary to make reservations well in advance.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781085112003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_it_make_sense_to_take_the_train_just_a_short_distance\"><\/span>Does it make sense to take the train just a short distance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely. Even if you don&#8217;t have time for the twelve-hour journey to Belgrade, I highly recommend buying a ticket at least to the little village of Virpazar. The ride takes just 30 minutes, costs about 2 euros, and during it the train crosses the beautiful wetlands of Lake Skadar.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781085112004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_famous_olive_festival_held\"><\/span>When is the famous olive festival held?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Traditional Maslinijada takes place every year in November, usually during the second weekend of November. It is held right in the streets below the walls of Stari Bar and is a great opportunity to taste fresh oil, local cheeses and homemade wine without the crowds of summer tourists.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781085112005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_King_Nikolas_Palace_currently_open\"><\/span>Is King Nikola&#8217;s Palace currently open?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The palace and the museum housed within it were closed in 2023 due to necessary and extensive reconstruction. Before planning a visit to the interior exhibitions, it is essential to check the current status on the official website of the National Museum, but the adjacent botanical garden is freely accessible.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781085112006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_better_to_stay_in_Bar_or_in_Budva\"><\/span>Is it better to stay in Bar or in Budva?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on your preferences. Bar and nearby Sutomore are dozens of percent cheaper, you&#8217;ll meet more locals and the atmosphere is generally more peaceful. Budva, on the other hand, offers vibrant nightlife, a beautifully restored old town by the sea, but also significantly more tourists and higher prices.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover an underrated port town that&#8217;s home to the ancient ruins of Montenegro&#8217;s Pompeii, stunning beaches, and an olive tree over 2,240 years old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":234423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Bar, Montenegro: 10 Things to Do & Stari Bar Ruins","rank_math_description":"Explore Bar, Montenegro: ancient Stari Bar ruins, the port, beaches & Europe's oldest olive tree.
