We had two weeks to explore this country, which was new to us. We visited Kotor, Bar, Budvar, Herceg Novi, and many, many small villages. We are deliberately writing our reports only after the end of our two-week trip to let the overall impression sink in. In my short report, I will briefly address the things that stood out to us, both positive and negative. Kerstin will certainly share a few stories in her report . We were impressed by what Even on the approach to landing, t

The country that first came to mind for our idea of ​​emigrating. Montenegro is a beautiful country, and we were already captivated by it as our plane was landing. It was absolutely wonderful. The airport in Tivat is so tiny that only a large plane can really land there. We picked up our rental car, which was totally straightforward.

Spread over four weekends a month, and with a Kölsch costing 1 DM at Clemens'... well, I wasn't the one in our group who had th

Neutral At first, we were naturally confronted with driving on the left, which was quite a challenge. But after a short adjustment period, we also got used to the special rules of the roundabout.

After a very relaxing second day with a delicious breakfast at a local taverna, followed by a day at the beach snorkeling and reading, today, on the third day, we're going on a long hike through the...

We drove as far as our little car (without four-wheel drive)
