Land
Montenegro may be a wee slip of a thing but it borders five other states: Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH), Ser-
bia, Kosovo and Albania. You can easily enter Montenegro by land from any of its neighbours.
Bicycle
There are no problems bringing a bicycle into the country. There are not many cyclists here so road-users are not cycle
savvy - and remember that there's a
monte
(mountain) in the country's name for a reason.
If you want to bring your own bike, most airlines allow you to put a bicycle in the hold for a fee. You can either take
it apart and pack all the pieces in a bike bag or box, or simply wheel it to the check-in desk, where it should be treated
as a piece of check-in luggage. You may have to remove the pedals and turn the handlebars sideways so that it takes up
less space in the aircraft's hold; check all this with the airline before you pay for your ticket. If your bicycle and other
luggage exceed your weight allowance, ask about alternatives or you may find yourself being charged a small ransom
for excess baggage.
Bus
There's a well-developed bus network linking Montenegro with the major cities of the former Yugoslavia and onwards
to Western Europe and Turkey. At the border, guards will often enter the bus and collect passports, checking the photos
as they go. Once they're happy with them they return them to the bus conductor who will return them as the driver
speeds off. Make sure you get yours back and that it's been stamped.

Belgrade (Serbia)
to Rožaje (€14, seven daily), Pljevlja (€18, three daily), Podgorica (€27, frequent), Nikšić (€26,
every second day), Budva (€26, 15 daily), Petrovac (€29, five daily), Ulcinj (€33, four daily), Tivat (€28, daily), Kotor

(€19, daily). Allow two hours to Herceg Novi.
