Montenegro enjoys two different climates: the coast has a pleasant Mediterranean climate with 240 sunny days a year. Summers are hot and dry with temperature between 30 and 35 ºC. Winters are mild and wet. Podgorica, the capital city is one of the hottest in Europe during summer with temperature sometimes above 40ºC. Once you climb above 1,200m during summer, you’ll be chilled by the fresh mountain air and temperatures around 25ºC.
Generally, if you have a valid passport issued by the EU Member-States, the United States of America, the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Iceland, the Swiss Confederation, Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand, or Japan and you plan to stay less than 30 days in Montenegro, there is no visa hustle for you.
