Driving and onward travel
- Scooters: Scooters are rented in summer; narrow coastal roads and heavy traffic make it risky. Bring an IDP if needed.
- Driving: on the right. Most foreign licences are accepted; carry an IDP with a non-EU licence. Cars need a Green Card or border insurance.
- Onward travel in Montenegro: Buses connect the coast, Podgorica and the north; the scenic Bar–Podgorica–Belgrade railway is slow. A rental car helps for mountains and villages.
