The Ultimate Montenegro Packing Guide – What to Pack For Every Season

Kotor Old Town Montenegro

Whether it’s planning a trip to the ‘Montenegrin Riviera’ or exploring the cobblestone streets of Kotor, relaxing by the beach in Ulcinj, or skiing in Zablak, one of the first questions that comes to mind is what to pack for Montenegro.

Montenegro’s prime location in southeastern Europe means the coast enjoys warm, pleasant weather and a Mediterranean climate almost the entire year. Further inland you’ll be met with all four seasons, with northern Montenegro turning into a snowy wonderland (and popular skiing resort) during the winter months.

(P.S. – Although most people associate Montenegro as a summer destination, it’s just as fantastic in the winter — especially if you plan to head up north or go skiing!) 

No matter when you’re traveling to Montenegro, my blog post has you covered! 

This Montenegro packing list is divided into three categories. First off, we’ll start with a brief overview of each season and what the weather is like in Montenegro. 

From there, I have a list of essential things you need in any season, such as luggage, electronics, clothes, shoes, etc. 

Finally, I talk about what to pack specifically for spring/summer in Montenegro and then what to pack for fall/winter

Are you ready? Pop open your luggage and let’s start packing! Continue reading
