When to go au Monténégro ?
Montenegro can be visited in summer or winter: from the seaside resort of Budva to the ski slopes of Mount Durmitor. Festivals abound: on the Adriatic coast, numerous musical and folk festivals take place all year round. Between traditional events, carnivals and more modern, unifying cultural festivals, Montenegro celebrates its culture between sea and mountains, especially during the eventful summer season.
The coastal zone offers a Mediterranean-type climate with mild and humid winters and hot and dry summers. The northern part of the country has a continental climate with cold, harsh winters and heavy snowfalls. Average temperatures range from 12°C in the mountains in June to 30°C in the plains in August for the summer, and from -5°C in February in the mountains to 14°C in December in the plains for the winter.
It all depends on which part of the country you want to visit. If you want to limit your stay to the Montenegrin coast, any time of the year is good. However, it is important to note that many hotels close in winter - so the choice is more limited during this time of the year. Also, it should be noted that the majority of the establishments on the coast have different prices depending on the month of the year. Prices go up during July and August. To enjoy both the beach and slightly lower prices, it is therefore advisable to stay in June or September. Travelers wishing to explore the entire country and especially those planning to hike in the northern mountains should choose June, July, August and September. Temperatures can drop very quickly in this part of the country and it is not uncommon for towns such as Kolašin or Žabljak to flirt with 0°C by the beginning of October. In the northern mountainous areas of the country, the snow sometimes lasts until the end of June and starts to fall at the beginning of October. Hikers who are not equipped with the proper equipment should choose the months of July and August to explore the mountains of Montenegro. For winter sports enthusiasts, the season runs from December to April. In the south of the country (Adriatic coast), the climate remains pleasant in summer thanks to the influence of the sea, even if the temperatures sometimes reach 38°C. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit this region. Note: the capital and its surroundings are stiflingly hot in summer, while Cetinje remains very pleasant (20°C on average, in summer).

Discover le Monténégro
Discovering Montenegro means marvelling at its magnificent natural beauty, enjoying a mild Mediterranean climate on the coast and an Alpine climate in the mountains. A diverse geography, with a magnificent Adriatic coastline, breathtaking mountains and crystal-clear lakes, but also immense unspoilt areas, including the famous Durmitor Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A small country with a complex history, it experienced Greco-Roman and Byzantine colonization, was dominated by the Ottomans for three centuries, then fought for its independence after the fall of Yugoslavia, like all the countries that made it up. Today, this young nation is seeking its place in Europe. With its Slavic and Balkan identity, this country remains attached to its multicultural and multi-religious identity. A people as attached to its craft and gastronomic traditions as it is to its folk music.
