Montenegro has two international airports, Podgorica and Tivat. The ongoing investment worth EUR 23million is aimed at the modernisation of both airports and to meet the future demand of a growing number of visitors. Flight time from the UK is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.
Montenegrin national air carrier Montenegro Airlines will commence flights from Gatwick to Tivat in the summer 2008. Flights start on June 15th, and will operate twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Return fares start at around GBP 200.
In the summer accessibility from the UK is provided by a direct weekly flight from London Heathrow to Tivat with JAT Airlines (May - September). JAT also operates daily service from London to Belgrade (Serbia) and on to Tivat or Podgorica via a short transfer flight of 40 minutes. JAT flies from Belgrade to Tivat and Podgorica several times a day, so taking a flight with any airline to Belgrade will enable you to travel on to Montenegro. JAT also operates inexpensive buses between the arrival airports and city centres.
Montenegro Airlines fly daily between Podgorica and Belgrade, and Podgorica to Budapest, Frankfurt and Zurich. Lufthansa and Aeroflot also fly between Podgorica and Belgrade.
British Airways offers daily flights to Dubrovnik in Croatia, 20 minutes from Montenegro's border. There are local buses for transfer to Montenegro.
JAT, Montenegro Airlines and British Airways manage scheduled flights, while a number of other companies organise charter flights to Podgorica, Tivat and Dubrovnik during the tourist season.
Tivat Airport is 4 km away from Tivat, 20 km from Budva and Herceg Novi, 58 km from Bar. Dubrovnik airport is 24 km from Herceg Novi, 44 km from Tivat and 68 km from Budva.
The road network totals 5.174 km. The two major road ways in Montenegro are the Adriatic motorway from Igalo to Ulcinj and the motorway that links the south and the north, from Petrovac, through Podgorica and Kolasin to Bijelo Polje.
Significant investment has seen the road infrastructure vastly improve, and highways continue to be upgraded, making arrival by road faster and safer.
Trains into Montenegro are limited with the only adequate international service operating between Belgrade (Serbia) and Bar. However there are a number of trains during the day and it is possible to get on a pre-booked sleeper.
Regular ferries operate to and from Italy‘s Adriatic coast on the following routes: Bar - Bari, Bar - Ancona and Kotor - Bari.
