The cheapest route

The most affordable way to reach Montenegro is flying into Podgorica (TGD) with Air Serbia via Belgrade. Direct flights from most European capitals are limited or expensive — the Belgrade connection is consistently the best value.

As a reference: Lisbon → Podgorica with Air Serbia runs around €200–300 round-trip depending on dates. We strongly recommend booking as soon as you can — prices climb sharply as the date approaches.

Other airports

• Podgorica (TGD) — 1h drive to Bar · best for Air Serbia / regional carriers
• Tivat (TIV) — 1h 30min drive · seasonal direct flights from London, Vienna, Frankfurt
• Dubrovnik (DBV) — 2h drive (border crossing) · widest selection of direct EU flights

Airport transfers

We will provide airport transfers on the day before, day of, and day after the wedding — both pickups to your accommodation and drop-offs after the celebration. Let us know your arrival details in the RSVP form so we can coordinate the schedule.

Renting a car

We recommend renting a car if you plan to explore. Local public transport is limited and infrequent, especially between coastal towns. Compact rentals run €25–40/day from Podgorica or Tivat airport. EU and most international driving licenses are accepted.

For an easy option we recommend Sit N Go, a local agency. Message them on Instagram (@sitngo.me) and mention you were recommended by Marko Vuković from Hotel Palace to get a discount.

Montenegro drives on the right side. Roads are generally good along the coast; mountain roads (to Kotor, Lovćen) are scenic but slower.
