Local Picks - Things To Do in Montenegro

If you want advice on what to do in Montenegro that actually comes from people who live here, you’re in the right place. These local picks are hand-selected by our Montenegro Local Expert team, folks who’ve spent years exploring and living in this country, not by some algorithm or paid listings.

This means you’ll find experiences and spots that real Montenegrins love , whether that’s a quiet afternoon wandering the old streets of Kotor in spring or heading to the edge of Lake Skadar where the fewer tourists go. The picks get updated regularly because seasons matter here and locals’ favorites can shift with weather, events, or even a great new café opening near Cetinje.

Here’s a tip: if you’re in the Bay of Kotor area, try visiting Perast early in the morning when the day trippers haven’t arrived. It’s a simple way to see the town’s charm without the crowds and it’s a favorite among locals who want to soak in the views peacefully.
