The most recommended month is "May"

May in Montenegro is truly the "best season for hidden gems." The spring warmth is stable, and the new greenery begins to sprout all at once, and the beauty of nature reaches its climax in this season. Resorts along the Adriatic coast are not as crowded as in the summer, so you can enjoy the beautiful coastline and old towns in a quiet environment. The snow melts in the mountainous areas, and hiking trails begin to open, expanding the options for tourist activities. In addition, accommodation and tourist fees are more reasonable than in the peak season, and it is excellent value for money. The weather is sunny on many days, and the temperature is comfortable at around 20 degrees. May is the best month for those who want to enjoy nature and culture while avoiding crowds.

The least recommended month is "November"

Montenegro in November is not recommended as a travel destination. First of all, the temperature drops sharply, and even the coastal areas start to feel chilly. The daylight hours also become shorter, and there are more cloudy and rainy days, which may limit your sightseeing. In addition, major tourist facilities, restaurants, tours, etc. enter the off-season and many of them will be closed. Coastal resorts are especially quiet, and tourist activities are often not offered. It is a time when the beauty of nature is hard to feel, tourism is less attractive, and even in terms of cost, satisfaction tends to be low, even at off-season prices. Considering the balance of the three elements of weather, facilities, and scenery, it is safer to avoid November.
