Useful information about your hiking holiday in Montenegro

Montenegro's climate

Montenegro is a destination that is particularly suitable for an active holiday. Not only because of the wonderful natural landscapes and varied hiking trails – the climatic conditions are also excellent for an active break in nature. The climate on the Adriatic coast is predominantly Mediterranean and the summers are generally dry and warm. The winter months are moderate. In the eastern areas of the country there is a continental climate so it can snow in winter. The Dinaric Mountains serve as a kind of climatic boundary between the east and the coastal regions of Montenegro. The months from May to October are considered the ideal time to travel.

Influences from the surrounding countries such as Croatia, Serbia or Bosnia can be found in the Montenegrin cuisine. From wonderful fish and meat specialties, regional spices, local milk and cheese products as well as honey, olives, figs and organic wine – there are a huge range of delicacies to be found. This is best enjoyed at a farmers’ market or in a relaxed atmosphere in one of the restaurants, bistros, cafés or local taverns. Typical specialties of the country include meat and fish dishes fresh from the grill such as cevapcici (minced meat), raznjici (meat skewers) or squid. Another specialty is mussels buzara in a tomato and white wine sauce. The sweet desserts such as baklava, lokum or alva have Ottoman influences.

Culture and traditions in Montenegro

Diversity and fascinating – these two characteristics certainly apply to the cultural landscape of Montenegro. Numerous traces of different countries and peoples such as the Greeks, Romans or Illyrians have shaped today’s culture and tradition in Montenegro. The particularly multicultural wealth opens up to its visitors in numerous churches, monasteries, museums, as well as mosques, palaces or citadels. The traditions also include festivals and folk dances with beautiful national costumes. An equally valuable part of the national culture is epic poetry, performed by violinists and storytellers to the accompaniment of traditional music.
