    Montenegro is one of those countries that doesn’t have hard and fast rules across all institutions. Many restaurants will allow dogs inside. Others won’t even allow them on patios. The time of year also makes a difference. Beaches and water access is no issue 9 months a year, but in June, July and August it becomes a lot more limited. Still there are ways around it sometimes. We went to a beautiful beach that said no dogs were allowed, but they did have an area just above the beach where dogs were allowed. However, that means they didn’t have access to the water. There are a lot of places not built up that dogs could join no problem. A number of tourists had dogs with them especially in the nicer areas such as Lustica Bay. There are some but not tons of stray dogs. However, there are many cats especially in Kotor, so you would want to think about how your dog reacts around unfamiliar cats.
    The trickiest part of Montenegro was the lack of sidewalks. It’s a beautiful country. Part of what makes it so stunning is how the mountains crash into the water, but that means roads are windy and narrow with few sidewalks. So, if you want to go on a walk with your dog, you need to go to a particular place to do it. It isn’t really safe to just walk around where you are staying (in most places). Dogs can ride on the train that goes from Bar into the mountains. Small dogs in carriers are welcome on busses. Big dogs may or may not be depending on the driver. It would be easiest to get around with a dog by renting a car.

    Montenegro can be recommended for travelers with dogs, but it’s not as dog-friendly as other European destinations.
    People seemed surprised and uneasy when we took our dog in taxis or cars. For buses, it’s always up to the driver whether your dog is allowed on board. Our first bus experience went smoothly, while during our second attempt, the driver hesitated before letting us board.

    Dogs are not officially allowed indoors at restaurants, but they’re usually welcomed on patios. Occasionally, you may find an indoor establishment that turns a blind eye.

    It’s worth noting that pet dogs seemed less common in Montenegro compared to other parts of Europe. Many large, loud guard dogs were either chained or unleashed in yards, so be cautious. We had a couple of close encounters.
