Hit the breathtaking Adriatic coastline with a rental car from Tivat Airport.
Montenegro’s fabulous features include rugged mountains, medieval towns and must-see national parks. You can hang out in the city park, a botanical garden full of exotic plants and pine trees, or lounge around at Pine, the popular waterfront promenade. Plan a trip to Tivat’s seaside harbour on the Bay of Kotor. Charter a yacht or drive along the Lustica peninsula looking for that perfect beach. Take advantage of your rental car to visit all of the region’s top spots.
Montenegro is windy and mountainous, but a road trip to nearby cities such as Budva and Herceg Novi and over to the capital, Podgorica is worth the effort.
