Podgorica – Bar – Ulcinj One Way Transfer Tour
Embark on a scenic one-way transfer from Podgorica to Montenegro’s stunning southern coast, with enriching stops in the historic town of Bar and the charming seaside city of Ulcinj. This journey is a perfect blend of ancient history, beautiful landscapes, and Mediterranean charm.
Your journey begins in Podgorica, Montenegro’s bustling inland capital, and soon transitions into a picturesque exploration of the southern coast. As you head toward the Adriatic, your first stop is Bar, one of Montenegro’s most important historical and cultural cities.
Bar is known for its remarkable blend of history, archaeology, and natural beauty. The town’s origins date back to Roman times, and it was once a significant trading port during the Byzantine and Venetian periods. The highlight of Bar is the Old Town, known locally as Stari Bar, which is perched on the slopes of Mount Rumija. Walking through the ruins, you’ll feel transported back in time. The ancient stone streets, remnants of Venetian walls, and medieval churches stand as silent witnesses to the city’s storied past.
A must-see in Bar is the Castle of Bar, which once served as a stronghold for various rulers over the centuries. From the castle’s elevated position, you can enjoy panoramic views of the town, the surrounding olive groves, and the blue expanse of the Adriatic Sea in the distance. The Old Olive Tree, one of the oldest and largest olive trees in the world, is another natural wonder that draws visitors. Estimated to be around 2,000 years old, this ancient tree is located near the town and represents the deep agricultural roots of the region.
After exploring Bar, the journey continues along the coastline to Ulcinj, one of the oldest towns in the Balkans, with a rich multicultural heritage and an atmosphere of timeless beauty. Ulcinj is known for its long sandy beaches, particularly Long Beach (Velika Plaža), stretching over 12 kilometers, making it one of the longest beaches in Montenegro. The town itself exudes an exotic charm, with narrow winding streets, Ottoman-era architecture, and an inviting mix of old and new influences.
A major highlight in Ulcinj is the Old Town, which stands on a rocky outcrop with stunning views of the sea. Its fortress dates back to Roman and Byzantine times, and visitors can explore the Buzuku Mosque, the ancient St. Nicholas Church, and the Ulcinj City Museum, which offers insight into the town’s history, from its medieval role as a trade hub to its influence under Venetian and Ottoman rule.
For a moment of relaxation, the Ada Bojana island at the mouth of the Bojana River is a peaceful retreat, offering beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and an idyllic atmosphere. Whether you are looking to unwind on the beach or explore the town’s vibrant streets and local eateries, Ulcinj offers a rich cultural experience and stunning landscapes.
