Guesthouse Are King

Montenegro offers a wide range of accommodations, from inexpensive hostels to luxury resorts. If you're on a tight budget or want a more "genuine" experience than a chain hotel can provide, a guesthouse is one of the finest options. This is one of the things about Montenegro you should know.

There are guesthouses in every city, town, and village. Typically, you will be accommodated in private accommodations within a family home. Meals are usually provided for an additional price, as well as that all-important parking spot. Above all, staying at a guesthouse is a simple way to contribute directly to the local economy while also having a meaningful relationship with a local.

One of the most memorable stays was at the Apartments Konak Perjanik in the town of Rijeka Crnojevia. Ask the proprietors, Ljudmila and Ivan, to tell you the story of the prince, which is tied to an old arched stone bridge and steeped in local folklore.

Wild camping is prohibited in Montenegro, but is permitted in national parks and on beaches. Stick to the specified, fee-based campgrounds.
