Many people ask us about how life is in Montenegro in winter. It is understandable - many have spent their summer holidays here more than once, swimming in the sea, sunbathing and just carelessly enjoying the beauty, nature and doing nothing. Obviously, the winter everyday life of a Russian emigrant in Montenegro differs from the summer euphoria of a Russian vacationer. So what are they?
Living the first winter in the Balkans, we are still able to remember our past Siberian life and compare, although, admittedly, you quickly get used to the good 🙂 So, winter in Montenegro is when (do not judge strictly, if I mainly express the perception of the beautiful half of humanity ):
1. You can go rollerblading in January.
2. Don't wear tights/leggings under jeans.
3. A fur coat can be worn solely for the sake of beauty and - indeed - with shoes!
4. You can style your hair without worrying that everything will be wrinkled under the hat anyway.
5. You can have picnics on deserted beaches.
6. No need to store the car in a warm garage, put it on auto-heating or warm brushes stuck to the glass.
7. The touch screen of a mobile phone is not buggy in the cold.
8. You can slowly sip coffee on the outdoor terrace of the restaurant, basking in the gentle sun.
9. There are oranges, tangerines and kiwis straight from the branch - after all, they sing in winter!
10. Having missed the snow, go to the mountains at a distance of an hour or two and enjoy the views of untouched - WHITE (not black) snow cover. You can go skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, etc. – Siberian winter joys in Montenegro have not been canceled!
It is believed that life in Montenegro slows down in winter, tourists and guests of the country return home, and students leave to study in neighboring countries. Indeed, the streets are becoming significantly less crowded, many restaurants are closing, there are fewer events and parties than in summer. All this is understandable, because the population of Montenegro barely exceeds 650 thousand people - and during the season Montenegro receives several million tourists. This is the reason for the greater number of recreational activities in the summer. For us, all this is not at all a minus, but a huge plus - after all, many Russian megacities flee to Montenegro in search of serenity, peace and tranquility, surrounded by magical nature.

Hello, tell me, please, we can’t decide in any way - in which of the winter months to visit Montenegro (December, January, February). We know this country firsthand, we have been resting in Kotor for 5 years in a row (in summer). This year there was a replenishment and now we are 2 families with almost one year old children. I really want to relax, change the situation, the kids need not the hot sun! But we are afraid of strong winds and hopeless rains. Which month to choose from the next months?
Sincerely. You have a wonderful site! Thank you!
