Podgorica travel advice

[Jorge Porbillas]

Podgorica is not exactly the cheapest place to reach, so does anyone have any experience/tips on reasonably cheap ways of reaching the Montenegro capital?

I think many of our Southern friends flew to Dubrovnik then used buses and taxis across the border for their recent game.

Alternatively fly via an east European hub, Prague or Budapest.

The train from Belgrade's scenic, I believe.

Aye, just Belgrade's almost as expensive to reach!

Dubrovnik looks like the best bet, just that Easy Jet to Dubrovnik in the middle of August is bloody expensive too!

Ferries to Bar go from Bari, and from Bar it's a nice short train journey to Podgorica. Ryanair flies to Bari, but you might want to take a less stressful airline and take a train within Italy. I'm sure someone else can advise better than me. Here's the ferry company:

It will take a bit longer, but might be more comfortable than a several hour bus journey from Dubrovnik in August.

I flew in via Vienna last year. I didn't pay for the ticket so can't tell you how much it was, but the Vienna-Podgorica leg was on some cheap-seeming subsidiary of Austrian Airlines I think. Podgorica airport is ultra modern and gleaming, but has almost no traffic.

Podgorica travel advice

no, the frankfurt-podgorica return was about 200. i can't remember how much the aer lingus flight to frankfurt was but it would have been pretty cheap.
