Getting Around
Bus
Buses link all major towns and are affordable, reliable and reasonably comfortable.
Car
While you can get to most places by bus, hiring a car will give you freedom to explore some of Montenegro's
scenic back roads. Some of these are extremely narrow and cling to the sides of canyons, so it may not suit the inexper-
ienced or faint-hearted.
Train
Trains are cheap but the network is limited and the carriages are old and can get hot. The main line links Bar,
Virpazar, Podgorica, Kolašin, Mojkovac and Bijelo Polje, and there's a second line from Podgorica to Danilovgrad and
Nikšić.
