In order to get a real first impression of Montenegro, it is best to visit it in October and November. After the summer tourist season, it's time to organize a one-day trip from Kotor with My Montenegro tours and get to know the Montenegrin towns in their autumn clothes. In October and November, the weather is still pleasant and relatively warm, so you can take a leisurely walk and enjoy the seaside. You can visit some of the national parks, wineries, ethnic villages or stay on the coast. If you decide to go north, the temperatures are significantly lower, especially at night, so you need to bring warmer clothes. We suggest you set aside a few days and visit several towns. In this text, we will suggest one place each from the northern, southern and central regions of Montenegro, which is suitable for an autumn trip.
Perast – open air gallery
When it comes to the southern region, we suggest Perast, which can be reached in 15 minutes from Kotor. This small, fairy-tale place on the shores of the Bay of Kotor is an ideal choice for an autumn trip. You will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and a walk by the sea. In Perast, there are many palaces, churches, viewpoints that give it a touch of charm and elegance. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants along the coast where you can treat yourself to a romantic lunch or dinner. Perast is like an art museum. Walking through its streets, you will discover beauty at every corner, while the smell of the sea and the sound of waves will accompany you all the way, creating an experience as if you were in an open-air gallery. Also, from Perast you can go by boat to the island Lady of the Rocks, there are transporters at every step, and the ride only takes a few minutes.
Paradise for birds national park Skadar lake
Autumn is a great season for wine tasting, so we recommend visiting the Skadar Lake National Park. You will have the opportunity to visit small fishing villages, eat fish specialties and drink local wine. Lake Skadar is the largest lake in the Balkans, and it is shared by the two countries of Montenegro and Albania. This national park has over 280 species of birds, and October is migration month, so this is the perfect period for boating and bird watching. The most famous fishing settlements on Lake Skadar are: Virpazar and Rijeka Crnojevića, while the less well-known and uninhabited ones are: Raduš, Krnjice, Poseljani, Karuč.
Virpazar is a small settlement, formerly the largest Montenegrin market, and today an attractive picnic spot.
Rijeka Crnojevića is a place that can hardly be described in words. Here, nature has remained untouched, and the ruins of old buildings and a bridge on the river bear witness to its glorious past. If you are looking for a one-day trip from Kotor to the central region of Montenegro, we highly recommend the Skadar lake national park. We are sure that you will not regret it and that this trip will enrich your soul.
Autumn in Kolašin
If you decide to go on a trip to the north of Montenegro, then visit Kolašin. In Kolašin, you can try dishes from traditional Montenegrin cuisine, walk along narrow roads surrounded by tall trees, breathe fresh air and enjoy landscapes that are a real rest for the eyes. Kolašin is located at 954 meters above sea level, on the banks of the Tara River. In winter, it is one of the most visited tourist centers, it is surrounded by the Sinjajevina and Bjelasica mountains, so it represents a real air spa with excellent conditions for skiing. Numerous events and concerts are held in Kolašin, and the Honey and Handicrafts Fair, as well as a cycling marathon, were recently held. Average autumn temperatures in Kolašin are 8.3 degrees. In this town, it is beautiful even when it rains, because the raindrops give a special fragrance to nature, and the mountains and forests take on a mystical appearance.
