Podgorica (Brussels Morning) – Montenegro, a little but attractive country on the Balkan Peninsula, is a great place to visit. The country has a low cost of living, a low tax rate, and business-friendly alternatives, in addition to its numerous picturesque villages along the Adriatic coast. Additionally, Montenegro has a lot of untapped growth potential and offers high-end living at a reasonable price. There is no shortage of ideal destinations that anyone would be happy to call home. We have compiled a list of the Best Place to Live in Montenegro to help determine which area is best for you.

7 Best Places to Live in Montenegro

British ex-pats have long been interested in Montenegro. Most move to Adriatic shore towns, although attractive spots are also inland. Montenegro’s seven best places to live:

1. Budva

The first city on our list has something for everyone. Budva and its sunny region are perfect for families or students seeking interesting nightlife. Budva, Montenegro’s Miami, offers sandy beaches, festivals, clubs, and scuba diving. However, Budva, a historic town, becomes a delightful family-friendly place with medieval cobblestone lanes and a thriving cultural life off-season.

Foreigners move to Budva towns for such reasons. You’ll feel international there. The Adriatic College international school will also please non-native speakers moving with children.

2. Kotor

Kotor Bay, in Lovcen National Park, is north of the Dinara Alps. Sun-kissed rivers and mountains will amaze you. Kotor is its crown jewel. History fans will love this site because most of it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Summer tourists, most cruise ships, come for the area’s heritage.

If you don’t speak Croatian, Kotor has many expats so that you can get by with English. Kotor is the city’s symbol if you like cats, so you’ll see them everywhere. Dobrota is a wealthy family town 10 minutes distant. Kotor and its bay have everything, from coastal charm to sophisticated housing.

3. Podgorica

Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, is a fantastic city that deserves a chance to steal your heart. Most ex-pats chose the different coastal villages. Surprisingly, the capital has lower rents and living costs. It has an above-average level of living and greater career prospects.

Podgorica has two ex-pat schools and numerous Brits. Bus, train, and international airports connect it. International brand malls and outlets make shopping easy. International restaurants with various cuisines, well-kept parks, and the seaside are an hour distant.

4. Tivat

Tivat is luxury. The platinum-certified Porto Montenegro marina attracts boat owners and luxury lifestyle aficionados. Palm trees, sunsets, and beaches abound in Tivat on the Bay of Kotor. The Adriatic Monaco is recognised for luxury real estate and foreign investment.

The region’s two top academies and only other international airports are in Tivat. As many foreigners live there, ex-pats are well-connected. Hikers and mountaineers appreciate Tivat, a quiet tourism destination.

5. Herceg Novi

Herceg Novi (“New Castle”), a coastal town in Montenegro, is a budget alternative. Herceg Novi is a medieval town near Croatia with beautiful architecture and hiking trails.

Outdoor pubs and restaurants create a lively but not overwhelming scene. The town has the right blend of inhabitants and tourists. It’s always welcoming. English speakers make a living in this charming town simpler. The low cost of living makes this an appealing ex-pat destination.

6. Perast 

The distant reaches of Kotor Bay have some up-and-coming areas, although most are not suitable for luxury ex-pats.  Across the bay sits the tiny UNESCO World Heritage Site Perast. This is a lovely area to live in if you invest a lot of money.

However, I propose Kotor or Dobrota. Muo is another option. Stoliv follows Prcanj north. Families enjoy Prcanj’s calmer bay side. It has a local feel with many local restaurants. Summer is busy but serene. The quiet bay waters, unaffected by the sea, make for a peaceful, affluent living.

7. Kolašin

Kolain is fantastic if you enjoy being in the mountains. The charming atmosphere of an Alpine village will appeal to visitors of all ages. You will be surrounded by snow-capped peaks, clean air, and peacefulness, even if the winters can be brutal. The best skiing areas are located there as well. However, the mountain’s many attractions—including hiking, biking, climbing, and camping—are best experienced during the warm summer. However, the lack of international schools and private medical facilities in Kolain is a major drawback to living there.

The Takeaway

Montenegro is generally a good area; this article has compiled a list of the Best Place to Live in Montenegro. From coastal towns to green mountains, there are many cities to choose from. Living near the shore will cost more. However, keep in mind that the results will be well worth it. If you go inland, you can enjoy cheaper living and beautiful mountain scenery. Planning your overseas move from the UK to Montenegro is the next step after choosing your new home.
