Montenegro in 5 Days: Packing Tips & Top Stays in Europe’s Best-Kept Secret

Ah, Montenegro—the land of epic mountains, crystal-clear beaches, and a coastline so stunning it could make the Amalfi Coast jealous (but let’s keep that between us). Here, you can sip coffee in a medieval town in the morning and hike through a national park by afternoon.

But before you pack your bags, let’s talk about what to bring for 5 days in Montenegro and where to stay for the best experience. Whether you're after luxury resorts, hidden gems, or breathtaking views, we’ve got you covered.

Packing for 5 Days in Montenegro (Without Looking Like a Lost Tourist!)

Montenegro’s mix of beaches, mountains, and historic towns means packing smart is key. No need for bulky suitcases—just your Frenky travel bag and a sense of adventure!

Clothing 👕

1–2 Swimsuits – The Adriatic Sea is calling, and you don’t want to be that person swimming in gym shorts.
3–4 Light Tops – Summers get HOT, so breathable fabrics are a must.
1–2 Bottoms – A mix of comfy shorts, a skirt, or casual pants for exploring.
1 Fancy Outfit – Because wine tastes better on a medieval rooftop when you look the part. 🍷
1 Light Jacket/Sweater – Evenings near the mountains or coast can be breezy.
Comfortable SneakersCobblestone streets = sneaker time. Heels? Nope.
Flip-Flops or Sandals – Essential for beach days and strolling along the coastline.

Essentials 👜 (Everything fits in your Frenky!)

Sunglasses & Sunscreen – The Montenegrin sun doesn’t play around. 🌞
A Daypack – For beach trips, hikes, and market shopping.
Bug Spray – Because mosquitos love tourists. 🦟
Power Adapter – Montenegro uses Type F plugs, so bring an adapter! 🔌
Cash (€ Euros) – Montenegro uses euros, but some spots don’t take cards.
A Camera – Your phone storage will fill up fast with jaw-dropping views. 📸
A Sense of Adventure – The best part of Montenegro? The surprises.
