Montenegro Nightlife – Meet Podgorica, Tivat, Kotor, Budva at night

Montenegrins pride themself on the fact that Montenegro nightlife is one of the best in the region.

The case with many Mediterranean destinations is that they tend to get the most alive during the long summer seasons. Montenegro is no exception. In fact, you could say that nightlife in Montenegro is fully concentrated in the coastal towns, that are able to welcome a great number of tourists every season. Podgorica is an exception though since its nightlife is not that seasonal, but other, smaller cities can’t say the same.

Since the Montenegro weather is so tender, it usually calls for hot summers with equally hot nights, where having a good time is not only an option – it is essential. Apart from tourists, many of the locals, especially those living in the coastal part of the country (Podgorica mainly) love to spend summer holidays on the coast, experiencing the warmest season of the year in the most profound way – discovering Montenegro nightlife.

Podgorica Nightlife – Enrich Your Tourist Experience

Speaking of Montenegro clubs, the Montenegro capital of Podgorica is often deemed as one of the best clubbing scenes in this part of Europe. As we already mentioned, Podgorica nightlife is scene is always awake, due to its independence when it comes to seasons and trends. The night clubs, cafes, and taverns really bring the city to life.

Most of the trendiest and the most popular cafes are located in and around Vectra district, the newest and the most modern part of the city. During cooler months, your best options are taverns and bars, but in the summer, the open-air bars and clubs are the places to be. The biggest flaw of these places is that some of them are required by law to turn off the music by 1 am, which is why most of the all-nighters are located in the basements in the city center.

The clubs are most crowded on Fridays and Saturdays, and one of the most important factors to determine before you decide to get into one is music. Why? Well, most of the time, Podgorica nightlife, and often Montenegro nightlife in general, is focused around folk music of the ex-Yugoslav countries, if not for the entire night, then partially. If you are a foreigner, you might find this difficult to enjoy, which is why you should opt for dance or EDM music clubs.

Bar Skaline – Inland Beach Bar & Clubs Feel

Bar Skiline is one of the best open-air nightclubs in Podgorica, located in the confluence of rivers Ribnica and Moraca. Despite being inland, it really possesses that beach club Montenegro feels. This is a great place to spend time during the daytime especially if you’re visiting some of the greatest attractions of Podgorica – the old Ribnica bridge. Enjoy your morning coffee while looking at the old bridge and the fortress in the distance.

Well, mostly thanks to the antique and arty interior, but also because of the high-quality sound ranging from the classic rock to contemporary pop-rock.

Tivat nightlife augmented by Porto Montenegro

Tivat nightlife phrase should definitely be renamed Porto Montenegro nightlife, given that all of the best bars and clubs are located in the most elite part of town. Previously we introduced the nightlife scene in the county’s administrative and cultural centre, and now is the time to take you through the epitome of luxury and lavishness.

The reason behind it is the fact that if you want to visit the best Montenegrin clubs Budva is the place to be. The old town joints tend to be a little more low-key than those located along the waterfront, where everything is Much more unhinged. The traditional clubs in the city centre, like Trocadero, are still a must-visit, while Top Hill is a class of its own.

Kotor nightlife – a fortress in disco lights

The town that breathes the history of Montenegro doesn’t really evoke that celebratory vibe, especially when concerning Kotor nightlife.
