GETTING AROUND IN MONTENEGRO
BY AIR
There are no domestic air services within Montenegro.
BY RAIL
Bar, Podgorica, Kolasin, Mojkovac and Bijelo Polje are on the main railway line running to Serbia. Timetables are available from Railways of Montenegro (website: www.zeljeznica.cg.yu/eng).
BY ROAD
There are over 5000km (3125 miles) of roads in Montenegro. The two major roads are the Adriatic motorway from Igalo to Ulcinj and the motorway linking the north and the south, from Pertovac to Bijelo Polje via Podgorica and Kolasin. Premium and unleaded petrol and diesel are available. Spare parts can be difficult to obtain. Driving at night is not advisable, owing to the poor condition of the roads. There are several tollbooths along the motorways. Foreign-registered vehicles are charged at a higher toll then local vehicles. The toll also depends on the size of vehicle. Drivers should have at least &Euro;200 to pay in cash at the booths. The two-lane Moraca Canyon is a notoriously bad road and should be avoided when possible.
Coach
Coaches are operated by several companies and connect major towns and cities. Services increase during the summer, particularly to the coast. Minibuses also operate from bus stations.
Car rental
Available from airports and main towns. Traffic drives on the right. Speed limits are 120kph (75mph) on motorways and 100kph (62mph) on other roads. Road signs may be poorly marked and new signs are likely to be in Cyrillic script in some areas of the country. Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
Documentation: International Driving Licence is required. No customs documents are required but car log books, a Green Card and vehicle registration/ownership documents and locally valid insurance policy are necessary.
URBAN TRANSPORTATION
Podgorica has a local bus system, but taxis can be a more reliable way to get around. Main cities have metered taxis. It is possible to negotiate a fare when the meters are not in use. Only use officially marked taxis. |
