From Kyiv, the journey will take about 24-30 hours and cost from €140 round trip. The main advantages of such trips are relatively low ticket prices and the opportunity to admire the scenery.

To save time, give preference to the plane. The nearest major airport with regular flights to Montenegro is located in Krakow. You can get there by bus, train, or car. The trip from Kyiv will take about 10-16 hours, depending on the chosen transport.
Choose direct destinations to Podgorica or Tivat. The air travel time will take about 1.5-2 hours, and the price starts from €163 round-trip.

Montenegro is rich in historical and cultural attractions. Be sure to visit the ancient cities, castles, and monasteries: the province of Kotor, the ancient capital of Cetinje, the fortress of St. John, and the San Giovanni Palace.
