Train to Montenegro
Getting to Montenegro by train is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint. The train ride from Belgrade to Podgorica is one of the most dramatic in Europe, going over the mountains. The last part takes nine hours. If you were to take the train from London to Belgrade, you would leave around noon and get there early the next evening.
To travel by train from London to Podgorica in Montenegro, one of the main routes would be: London – Brussels (Belgium) – Cologne (Germany) – Budapest (Hungary) – Belgrade (Serbia) – Podgorica
Car to Montenegro
We advise travelling to the vibrant Dalmatian town of Split via Croatia if you’re travelling by car from Western Europe. From there, it’s easy to drive to Dubrovnik along the Adriatic coast, then on to the stunning Kotor fjord on the Montenegrin border, past the seaside resorts of Budva and Sveti Stefan, and finally, when you get to Petrovac, turn left on the mountain road towards Lake Skadar. After you leave Split, the entire trip shouldn’t take more than seven or eight hours, and you’ll have some amazing views.
