June - August - (Summer)

Summertime in Montenegro is peak season with locals, and tourists flocking to the seaside to soak up the hot sunshine and relax on the beautiful beaches. Many hotels are booked up well in advance due to the influx of families with European school summer holidays occurring during this time. The country is at its busiest during the summer with so many different activities and sights to explore. June offers visitors slightly lower prices for travel and accommodations, the busy sold-out seasons soar in July and August. Festival season kicks off in the summertime and the nightlife scene becomes a hot commodity on the coast with the Fasinada Festival held in the charming coastal town of Perast.

The temperatures in August and pretty hot and steamy all around, with temperatures soaring into the triple digits in places like Podgorica. Heading to the mountains to cool off is a great idea and can bring some welcoming crowd-free attractions, and accommodations with a lot less heat. September is a much more manageable time to visit with the summer crowds dissipating and the old towns becoming more navigable with quieter beaches and the stunning colors of autumn slowly creeping in throughout the countryside and mountain regions.
