That depends on what you plan to do. For swimming, the ideal period is from June to September. In July and August, air temperatures are around 30\u00b0C (but can reach 40\u00b0C), and the sea is a pleasant 25\u00b0C, but you must expect crowds of tourists and higher prices.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Personally, I would recommend <strong>May, June, or September<\/strong> \u2013 in these months, the weather is still very pleasant (20-25\u00b0C), but there are significantly fewer tourists and lower prices. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Montenegro_15_Best_Places_for_Your_Holiday\"><\/span>Montenegro: 15 Best Places for Your Holiday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I have traveled through Montenegro twice, and I absolutely love it.

Budva and Surroundings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Budva is the tourist heart of Montenegro and undoubtedly <strong>the most famous resort in the country.<\/strong> You&#8217;ll find long sandy beaches, a beautiful historic center, and it&#8217;s quite lively with plenty of restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n\n<p>The most popular is <strong>Slovenska pla\u017ea<\/strong> \u2013 a 1.7-kilometer long beach with fine sand, a gentle entry into the sea, and numerous bars and restaurants. If you&#8217;re looking for something quieter, head to <strong>Mogren<\/strong> beach, located near the Old Town. <\/p>\n\n<p>When we cycled through Budva, I couldn&#8217;t get enough of the view of the old town surrounded by the sea. It resembles a small <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/dubrovnik\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"62960\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubrovnik<\/a><\/strong>, but without the crowds of tourists. Narrow stone streets, romantic squares, and sea views \u2013 an ideal place for an evening stroll with ice cream in hand.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Tip for beautiful accommodation:<\/strong> <strong><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Vidikovac Budva\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/vidikovac-budva\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Vidikovac Budva<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Budva-cerna-hora.jpg\" alt=\"Budva, where to go for a seaside holiday in Montenegro\" class=\"wp-image-99352\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Budva-cerna-hora.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Budva-cerna-hora-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Budva-cerna-hora-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Budva-cerna-hora-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Budva-cerna-hora-696x365.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Where to go for a seaside holiday in Montenegro?

This former fishing village has been transformed into a luxury resort, which is unfortunately inaccessible to the public (unless you are a guest of the Aman hotel). But the view of the small island covered with red-roofed houses and connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway is worth it even from afar.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Around Sveti Stefan, you&#8217;ll find beautiful beaches \u2013 especially <strong>Kraljeva pla\u017ea<\/strong> (King&#8217;s Beach) and <strong>Milo\u010der<\/strong> beach.

Lake Skadar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>The largest lake in the Balkans, located on the border with Albania, is a paradise for nature and bird lovers. The lake is home to over 270 bird species, including rare pelicans and eagles. <\/p>\n\n<p>The best way to explore the lake is by boat. Small boats will take you among water lilies and reeds, where you can observe birds and enjoy views of the surrounding mountains. Boat trips are organized from several places \u2013 the most famous is <strong>Virpazar<\/strong>, but I recommend the less touristy <strong>Rijeka Crnojevi\u0107a<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Around the lake, you&#8217;ll find a number of small villages where you can taste local wine and fish prepared in traditional ways. Local specialties include eel and carp from Lake Skadar. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Accommodation tip:<\/strong> <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Apartments Vojislav\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/apartments-vojislav\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Apartments Vojislav<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Skadar-cernahora.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Skadar\" class=\"wp-image-99412\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Skadar-cernahora.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Skadar-cernahora-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Skadar-cernahora-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Skadar-cernahora-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Skadar-cernahora-696x365.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Stari_Bar\"><\/span>15. Stari Bar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Unlike the new Bar, which is a bustling port city, <strong>Stari Bar (Old Bar) is an abandoned city at the foot of Mount Rumija.<\/strong> After the earthquake in 1979, the city was largely abandoned and today forms a fascinating labyrinth of ruins.<\/p>\n\n<p>A walk among the stone houses, churches, and palaces will transport you to another era. From the ramparts, there&#8217;s a beautiful view of new Bar and the sea. Old olive groves stretch around the town \u2013 some of the olive trees are said to be up to 2000 years old.  <\/p>\n\n<p>After exploring the ruins, you can have coffee or lunch at one of the restaurants below the ramparts, where they serve traditional dishes like pljeskavica, \u0107evapi, or local cheeses and cured meats.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Montenegro\"><\/span>How to get to Montenegro?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>By car:<\/strong> From the Czech Republic to Montenegro, it&#8217;s approximately 1100 km, and the journey takes 14-16 hours of pure driving. The route goes through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia, or through Serbia. Expect highway tolls in transit countries and potential queues at borders, especially during the summer season.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>By plane:<\/strong> You can fly to Podgorica or Tivat in Montenegro. Air Montenegro offers direct flights (1 hour 40 minutes) from Prague; alternatively, you can fly with a layover (for example, via Vienna with WizzAir), but that can easily take 5-6 hours.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Try_in_Montenegro\"><\/span>What to Try in Montenegro?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>To be honest, for us vegetarians, Montenegrin cuisine isn&#8217;t that interesting.
