My first stop in Montenegro was Podgorica, which is the capital city. I stayed in a beautiful Crowne Plaza hotel for 5 days. There wasn’t much to see or do around the hotel other than a mall (15 minute walk). I also found a laundromat about 20 minutes from the hotel. Outside, the wind was so strong it was hard to walk. At one point I was pushed back so hard, I almost lost my balance.
There’s an Old Town in the city but after researching, there didn’t seem to be much to see there either. So between cold days and rainy days, I stayed around the hotel. (No pictures were taken.)
I took a 2 hour taxi ride to Kotor and stayed at the Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort. Beautiful place! It had 3 pools (1 indoors), 3 restaurants (good food), and a private beach.
A visit to Kotor’s Old Town was nice. Several historical buildings and narrow streets with hidden gems. You also run into a lot of people from the cruise ships.
Sunbathing for a few days and rain bringing in cooler weather rounded out my stay. My time in Montenegro was rather boring (I think this is my first time being bored during this journey).
