Hello, very nice video!!! could you please advise, the cheapest company car for renting a car? thanks!
Hi Frankie, sorry for delayed reply. I usually book Avis or Sixt, never had any issues with them. Don't look only for companies with cheapest price, as the cars might not be reliable... Also ensure to get insurance too, you never know what might happen, even small scratch can cost you hundreds of euros without insurance... let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you subscribed! Cheer's, Predrag

Not so horrible cold ? Germany too cold in winter ....
Very informative! I encourage everyone to go ahead and buy their tickets to Montenegro! It’s such a beautiful country 🙌🏼
Thank you, we all look forward to restart tourism this year, and welcome at least 1 000 000 people!
Thank you for your videos! I'm planning a trip to Montenegro this summer and it's nice to get a more local perspective :)
This seems to be a nice place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job!
Thank you so much for a great video once again very informative and extremely helpful keep up the good work
+Chris Honor Hi Chris, thanks for your support, it really helps in growing the community and bringing Montenegro to a wider audience. Pls consider subscribing if you have not done so already. Have you been to Mne or planning to come?
Thanks for the helpful tips! We're planning our trip to Montenegro and this video has been helpful.
Thanks for making these videos, they are very informative and on point. We are staying in Kotor but on the opposite side of the bay from old town by the city hospital, we arrived 3rd September and leave on the 17th, we have so far visited Kotor old town, Perast, Budva old town (stunning) prcanj , Tivat, climbed the steps to Kassel St Ivan pheww it’s hard going in the heat, Took the cable car up to the top and the views are breathtaking. That’s week 1 done! It’s nice and quiet over this side as the old town can be quite noisy of a night, and when the ships come in it is very busy ! Beautiful country and very friendly x
I appreciate the suggested itineraries (starting at about 12:30 in the video), very helpful. Lots of good information in this video!
Thank you for your feedbacn, glad you like it. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope you subscribed. Cheer's, Predrag
Congratulations on your vlog
, the most interesting I found so far, full of practical informations. I am hoping to sail to Monténégro this year, I would be interested in what you could tell us about the marinas there.
Many thanks.
+Jean-Louis Gonzalez Hi, thank you for your kind feedback, appreciate it very much. Speaking about the marinas, most famous one and high end are Lustica Bay, Porto Montenegro, and Portonovi. Another very popular ones are Budva and Kotor marinas. Closer to Albania is port town of Bar, with also big city marina.
Depending on the boat, and budget of course, would be best to get in touch directly with them and see what suits you the most. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you subscribed. Cheer's, Predrag
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 Would you know if Albania has marinas? Thanks
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

I feel like this video is made for me. I learned a lot. I really hope things will change for the better come summertime.
+Andrei Alfonso thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it. It helps me to know what information people are looking for, and then to make videos to share the news. Hope to have you in Montenegro this summer!
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 I hope so too. Since I am a foodie, I hope you can show clips of the local Montenegrin dishes in your next video. Or you can also make a "Do's and Dont's in Montenegro" kind of thing. It would really be helpful.
@@andreialfonso5901 excellent ideas, added to my To do list :)
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 haha no problem! I don't wanna offend the local people by disrespecting their beliefs so that kind of video would be helpful.
Excellent info. Thanx x
Glad it was helpful!
Really appreciate your excellent informative video, thanks.
+MMehmood Shah thanks! Are you planning to visit soon?
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 thanks for quick response. Yes, can plan. Could you help with more information about buying a cheap house if someone wants to live little longer? And if someone could bring his/her personal car from an Arab Gulf country, is that possible?
Properties are much cheaper in the northern and central part, while those on the coast are much more expensive. Decent houses with land will be usually 100K+ USD. I would recommend you Remax real estate agency, they are very professional and could help you in this regard. It is possible to bring and drive a car on foreign plates, as long as it is registered and you have residence permit.
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 thanks again. Could you please send website link for that company? Is it easy to get residence permit of Montenegro? Do you have any website or could be contacted via email or phone number to discuss more in detail please!
Check their website www.remax.me/ . Residence permit can be obtained either through securing a job, or through real estate purchase. Guys from Remax will give you some good advices about it.
Let get this channel to 5K+ subs, it is well deserved. With great information and insights about the lovely jewel of the Adriatic, Montenegro
Hi George, thank you very much for your support. I am glad to help. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheer's, Predrag
Great video, thanks! It came up on my suggestions as I have been researching about your beautiful country. May you please remind me the name of the 19th century road w/ picturesque views? We have an airbnb in Kotor and would like to take your advice w/ that scenic drive! Thank you again : ) ! -New fan, Ryan
Hey Ryan, thanks for watching. The 🛣️ is called 'Troica'. From Kotor to Njegusi or vice versa. You have amazing cafe Horizont with best views over Kotor bay. Check out my other video Cetinje, when I filmed it and explained! Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheer's, Predrag
I watched the whole video it is really rich with valuable information
Im considering to start own business in Montenegro which in my opinion a very promising future country
I will plan a visit to it soon

Appreciate good work done indeed

@@montenegrovideoguide4011 I’m from egypt and already subscribed i like your respectful content i hope you like mine too
I will keep following your good videos and will be in touch for future plans soon
Thank you for subscribing, it really helps to grow the community and share information. Speaking about Egypt, one of the biggest investments in Montenegro is from Egyptian conglomerate Orascom. I am going to publish my next video from the town they are developing called Lustica Bay. This is place where investors from all over the world invest in real estate, golf, marina, hotels...
I am researching now, and planning to publish video soon on investment and business opportunities. Cheers!
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 great yes i know orascom they are giant holding company here with huge investments
Im more interested in street food project investment
My suggestion is to focus in small and medium start ups
Im in baking and my dream is to have a backing project in good place out there
Street food in Montenegro has some strict policies due to food safety, which is why there are no really food stalls, but only small shops and restaurants. Baking goods are very cool idea, would be good to have some oriental baking products in Montenegro.
Headed there for a few weeks next month!
Enjoy, so great now without crowds. Cheer's, Predrag
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 Thank you. Quick question: Do you think I will need a PCR test if I take a bus from Croatia? I'm vaccinated.
@@josephsjourney3387 with vaccination certificate no need for tests. Cheer's, Predrag
Very helpful video; Hows travel and tourism there now? And covid? I'm seeing cases and on the decline now but not sure how it is for travel yet
Looking to visit this summer flying into Dubrovnik & hiring a car from the airport. You mentioned I need special permit as I’m travelling out of Croatia with the car. Any info welcome on what this is called or how I arrange This?
This was very helpful, thank you! For other videos, could you please advise if the road signs are easy to understand when driving? Are the signs in more than 1 language? Also what about bringing pets (dogs) into the country - is it permitted & what are the rules?
+Marie Doherty Hi Marie, thank you for your feedback. Roads are generally safe and signs are very simple, with google maps help you should not have too much hassle to travel and navigate around. Traffic signs are mostly just signs, without text in local language. Information billboards are usually in both local and English.
About pets... It is allowed, as long as they arw vaccinated, certified, and have travel document. this is contact of the relevant government agency for more info ubh.gov.me/en/contact
@@montenegrovideoguide4011Thank you for this - very kind of you!
Great video.. Very informative and helps me a lot with my planning.. Just to verify, I will be coming from Serbia before Montenegro by mid June and with this, I do not need to take PCR test upon entry to Montenegro, correct? Also, is it possible to cross to Croatia already and will bus be available? Thanking you in advance..
+Scheanneth San Diego Hi Scheanneth, thank you! If you stay in Serbia at least 15 days then according to current rules no need for any test. It is possible to enter Croatia, however at the moment, arrivals from Montenegro are subject to having negative PCR test.
There are updates every couple of weeks, so once there are news I will be posting another video for travelers coming to Montenegro.
Where are you from?
Even if you do need PCR test, they are very affordable these days in countries around Montenegro, around 40-60EUR...
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 Oh! I just saw that you have uploaded a more update video that this one..
Thank you so much for all the updates that you are providing. I will be in Montenegro around mid June and hopefully the rule of 15 days in Serbia and no need for PCR in entering Montenegro will still be the same.. I am planning to stay also for 15 days there and would be staying in Kotor first. I have not decided on the next place to stay.. I understand that Budva is just 30 minutes or so only from Kotor; however, will there be a public transportation from Kotor to Budva? I do not know how to drive and will be relying mostly to public transportation.
I'm from Philippines but currently in Germany with Schengen visit visa only. I need to step out of this country and does not want to go home yet. Hence, the reason for traveling even though it's pandemic still.
Thanks for the info about the cost of PCR test. About this, do you think it's ok to book a flight from Split? I plan to leave Croatia around mid July. I worry that if I book now and won't be able to cross the border.. It will be summer then and hopefully Croatia will welcome more people..
Thanks again.. Apologies for the long message..
I am doing weekly videos on Montenegro, weekly is the best I can do now with a full time job :)
As the situation is much better in Montenegro and neighboring countries, we do not expect any new restrictive measures, but in case they happen, I will be providing updates, so feel free to subscribe to stay up to date with all the news.
There is public transportation across all Montenegro, and buses are great way of traveling around. So from Kotor you can move around easily in any direction.
I believe by mid-July you will be able easily to fly out of Croatia, they don't really have entry ban for Montenegro. Especially if you hold valid plane ticket.
I recentrly traveled across Bosnia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Kosovo... even though it is pandemic, with reasonable self care it is quite easy to enjoy traveling... Cheers'
Very insightful, would you recommend takinf Taxi?
Hello, thank you for your feedback. Taxi during summer is usually around 1-1.5 euro per kilometer. In case you want to taxe taxi between towns, than it is best to directly arrange price with the driver in advance, as you will get better deal. Hope you subscribed for support, and to stay up to date with newest info from Montenegro! Cheer's, Predrag
Hi . Your videos are very informative and its my guide so far . We comin to montenegro for 6 days , next month ( july) . We will stay Boka bay region as like advised . But we really wish to see durmitor national park,tara river ,etno selo izlazak . If so where we should book our stay ?
Hi Sujith, thank you for your kind feedback. North is very amazing part of Montenegro too, and visiting Black lake, doing Tara river rafting, zip line on Djurdjevica's Tara bridge... very cool experiences, if you have time... But 6 days seems too little time to visit both north and south... During 6 days you can see Boka Bay places such are Kotor, Tivat, Budva, do a day trip to Cetinje(lovcen national park+Mausoleum, check my video about that). This would be a nice itinerary for 6 days. If you wish to see the north, that have at least 3-4 days in Montenegro, so 10 days would be minimum... Etno selo are cool places to stay at... Etno village Montenegro is my favorite one. Let me know your thoughts, and if you have any other questions. Cheer's, Predrag
I going to visit Montenegro.
Hi! Can you please let me know if tourists from Costa Rica are required for PCR test? Even we are vaccinated? Also do you think 4 days are enough staying in Kotor? Or maybe I can combine Kotor and other cities around? Thank you!
Hi, no entry restrictions anymore. Same like before pandemic. 4 days is enough time to see couple of cool places around. Kotor, Perast, Prcanj, Herceg Novi. Budva Old town...
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 thanks 😊
We are confused between vivid blue serenity hotel and huma kotor bay which one is better regarding the area?
Hi Sara, regarding the area, I would go for Huma Kotor Bay, as it is only couple of kilometers from Kotor Old Town, and also close to Perast. You have also by bus within half an hour drive places such are Tivat, Herceg Novi, Budva... during summer driving time could be longer as there might be some more traffic in July and August. Vivid Blue is a new hotel, about 15-20minutes from Budva, but it is in the middle of nowhere... I think it is a cool hotel, but it is in the middle of nowhere... Huma is also cool hotel, there is a nice beach, but the service could be better. Check out Chedi Lustica Bay hotel too, it is 20 minutes drive from Tivat and Kotor, and 30 minutes from Budva, I like that one the most! In case you wish more secluded hotel, away from crowds, that is the place to be. Hope you subscribed to keep our community growing. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheer's, Predrag
thank you for the great video, can you please share with us how much is the PCR text in the country when when we leave
Hi Abdelhafiz! PCR test in private labs is around 50-60euro, and test results can be obtained on the same day. Free of charge you can do it in municipal health center, however it has to be scheduled 3 days prior, and it is subject to availability. Hope this helps, and you subscribed for support and to stay up to date with newest information. Check out my latest June Covid19 video update, you will find there more information. Cheer's, Predrag

Ur blog is cool and helpful i really like it, keep it up
I am vaccinated so does that mean i can enter Montenegro without PCR test ? Thats what i understood from your video , correct me if im wrong
+Abdelhafiz Ali Abdelhalim Ibrahim yes, with valid vaccination certificate you do not need any test.

Is Montenegro issuing any unskilled job visa on current situation. And how much time will take to get a job visa from India
Hi Akhil, at the moment mostly unskilled jobs are given to locals, and some companies bring workers from neighboring countries, as it is easy to get visa for them. For India or any other country further from Montenegro, working permits and visas are not issued for unskilled jobs, as the procedures are far complicated and expensive.
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 Good morning, I'm lucky from Nigeria but I live in UAE Dubai and I'm planning to come over to Montenegro can I get a job there.
Hello sir, i am Filipino with UAE residence. I am planning to travel to Montenegro. What documents should i bring to get the visa upon arrival?
Replied to you on the other video you asked :)
Going there too Kabayan.. 🤞 during Eid from Dubai
I'm a Nigerian but I have UAE resident parmitte and I want to come to Montenegro what documents do I need to get visa on arrival and is there job in Montenegro
Check with Montenegro's consulate in UAE about the visa. No work permits for foreigners, unless it is from neighboring countries. It is too expensive to bring people from different continents.
@@montenegrovideoguide4011 Ok what if I come as a tourist will I get a job
