Guide to Podgorica

Who flies Podgorica Airport?
There’s little choice of where to fly to in Montenegro with the other airport, Tivat, serving only the coastal resorts. Flying to Podgorica Airport gives you the choice of spending a few days in the city before heading out into the cool mountains or down to the coast. The country attracts the more adventurous European travellers who want something a little different but who aren’t quite ready for the former Russian satellite states yet.

How to get to Podgorica Airport?
Whilst there are a limited number of cities served by the airport, major European cities have flights with Montenegro Airlines. The UK is served by them with a daily flight out of Gatwick Airport. Once at the airport, you’ll almost certainly have to organise car hire as, unless you intend to stay in the capital for the duration of your trip, the sights are at least an hour away and not easily accessed by public transport.

What is the Airport Like?
It’s a very modern glass and aluminium structure with adequate facilities for your brief stay there. You’ll get decent coffee at the Costa outlet and naughty snacks including their delicious toasted Panini rolls. There are no other facilities for eating there. You can buy newspapers and magazines from either of the two kiosks which also sell packaged snacks and confectionery. There’s the ubiquitous duty free which has a range of Montenegrin delicacies for gifts and to pay for it all, get money from the branch of CKB bank.
