Walking and Hiking Holidays in Montenegro

Montenegro walking holidays FAQs

• What is the best time of year for walking holidays in Montenegro?

  Montenegro offers excellent walking conditions from spring through autumn. The shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) provide ideal temperatures for hiking, with warm days and cooler evenings. Summer can be hot, particularly for mountain hikes, though coastal walks remain pleasant with sea breezes.

• How difficult are the walks in Montenegro?

  Our Montenegro walking holidays cater to moderate fitness levels. The hike up Kavac Mountain involves steady climbing but rewards you with spectacular views. Coastal walks and town explorations are generally easier. We have different walking grades for all our walking holidays so you can choose activities that match your fitness level.

• What should I pack for a Montenegro walking holiday?

  Essential items include sturdy walking boots with good grip, lightweight layers, sun protection, and a small daypack. As this is a cruise-based holiday, you'll also need smart-casual evening wear for onboard dining. We provide a detailed packing list with your booking confirmation.

• Is it safe to holiday in Montenegro?

  Yes, Montenegro is a safe destination for walking holidays. The country has low crime rates and the tourist areas we visit, particularly around the Bay of Kotor, are well-established with good infrastructure. Our experienced guides ensure your safety on all walks, and the cruise-based format provides additional security with your accommodation travelling with you. As with any holiday, we recommend travel insurance and checking current UK Foreign Office advice before departure.

• What currency is used in Montenegro?

  Montenegro uses the Euro (€), despite not being an EU member. Most establishments in tourist areas accept credit and debit cards, but it's advisable to carry some cash for smaller purchases and local cafés. ATMs are readily available in Kotor and other ports we visit. There's no need to exchange currency if you're already carrying Euros from other European destinations.
