Other flights from the UK and Western Europe to Podgorica – including the national carrier, Montenegro Airlines – involve one (or sometimes two) stops, and are considerably more expensive.

Podgorica’s airport is at Golubovci, about 15km south of the capital. A shuttle bus is meant to operate between the airport and Podgorica, timed to meet Montenegrin Airways arrivals/departures – however in reality it doesn’t, so you will need to get a taxi. The fare into central Podgorica shouldn’t be more than €8–10. Taxi touts waiting at arrivals may quote considerably more than this – in which case, politely decline. If you want to book a taxi in advance, contact Taxi PG (www.taxipg.com, Tel: 069 951 961) or Taxi Travel (www.taxi-travel.me, Tel: 069 949 197). Golubovci is on the road to Virpazar and Lake Skadar (Route 5), so if you’re visiting this area (and it is highly recommended that you do so) it makes sense to start or finish your trip there.

In view of the comparative length and expense of other routes, many people still find flying to Dubrovnik, in Croatia, and then continuing to Montenegro by bus or taxi, a convenient option, particularly if visiting the Montenegrin coast or hiking on Orjen (Routes 1 and 2) – see below.
