What to do in Montenegro with kids
Places to Explore with Kids on the Montenegro Coast
Adriatic Coast
Discover Montenegro's Adriatic coast with its 72km of beaches and lively seaside resorts with watersports including snorkelling and kayaking, along with well-preserved medieval old towns to amble around with an ice cream in hand.
Bay of Kotor
Travel (ideally by boat) around the sublime Bay of Kotor, where Herceg Novi has a fabulous old Spanish fortress, Kanli Kula stands out for its amphitheatre with bay views, tiny Perast has 16 churches and 17 Venetian palazzi, plus lots of charming waterfront restaurants, and UNESCO-listed Kotor has a gorgeous Old Town.
Velika Plaža
Check out Velika Plaža – at 12km one of the longest beaches in all Europe.
Budva
Explore Budva – liively and party-loving, but with another lovely medieval Old Town to explore.
Montenegro Nature and Outdoor Activities
Durmitor National Park
Get to know the Durmitor National Park in the north-west, with great hiking and whitewater-rafting and zip-lining on the Tara River Gorge, plus skiing in winter (the best Montenegro ski resort is Kolašin).
Piva Regional Nature Park
Go north, to Piva Regional Nature Park, for cruising or kayaking on Piva Lake, Jeep safaris, and hiking, walking or biking excursions to gorgeous canyons. Waterfall Rafting Center in Šćepan Polje is a well-regarded operator also offering cosy accommodation in wooden cabins or tents.
Lake Skadar National Park
Bounce around Lake Skadar National Park, a protected wetland area centred on southern Europe’s biggest lake, with wildlife including rare Dalmatian pelicans and endangered otters. Boat trips, swimming, fishing and cycling are popular here, the latter taking you past local vineyards.

Food in Montenegro: What families and kids will enjoy eating
Food in Montenegro is hearty and perfect for active families looking to refuel – think thick soups, grilled meats (especially cevapi – kebabs), dried sausage, smoked hams and potatoes. There are also lots of Italian restaurants in Montenegro.
The best time to visit Montenegro with kids
The best time to go to Montenegro is April to September. High summer is very warm/hot on the coast (generally mid- to upper 30°Cs), so those with younger, pre-school kids might prefer to take advantage of the milder weather (and lower prices) of June and September.
How much does a family holiday to Montenegro cost?
A good alternative to Croatia, Montenegro remains of the more affordable family holiday destinations in Europe.
How to get to Montenegro from the UK

Alternative Route via Dubrovnik
You could also get to Montenegro by flying to Dubrovnik in Croatia, an hour’s drive from northern Montenegro (although border queues can be long).
Booking and Travel Arrangements
