Top 16 things to do and attractions in Bar Municipality

Nice museum worth visiting just like the Old town of Bar. Covers a good aspect of the History of Montenegro and the King Nikola II Petrovic and is great for those who loves ethnographics.

Closed for renovation since 2023. A true pity of not being ready... finish time was 9 months now we approach 24 and atill closed. The view around is cool and very easy to reach, being on central promenade. Inside are several artifacts and historic info about King Nikola. Should be opened soon or else Bar loses so mych potential

It is a impressive museum which tells history of Montenegro. Also it is near to Cetinje monastery. This is the interesting museum with clothes, things, weapons. They have kept the palace same as the original.

Entry fee 2€ Quite Intresting and beautiful historical place but nothing extra. Too small to be called a palace .

It was a nice small museum tour. We bought a combined ticket to visit 5 museums, it didn't take us a lot of time and we definitely enjoyed it

It was impressive to touch history of Montenegro. This is the interesting museum with clothes, things of interior and weapons

Interesting place but it would have been helpful to have more explanation about the history of the building, linked to the Royal family.

Magnificent cathedral. Amazing work of art on every wall. It was my first time visiting an orthodox cathedral and I was in awe. The detail and grandness of it is amazing. The outside is amazing, gold and white make it stand out , it’s great! There’s a little honesty system stall on the right hand side as you enter. The location is very accessible, just across the car park. Stunning view surrounded by the mountains. Remember to appropriately dress and behave according to the rules.

Very beauty Orthodox Chrurch. Located very near to the beach of the beautyful town of Bad, Montenegro. The many golden accents on the roofs and painting makes it a extremely beautyful landmark to be seen from far away. The inside is soo beautyful. Icons all over the place. Very beautyful paintings of all the holy men. Such a nice altar... When your in Bad, please visit this beautyful church. Of your an Orthodox Christian...you need to go there.

amazibg monenegrian orthodoxe church, onside is very artistic, i would say even a bit like modern art, dont also miss tgecsouvenir shop which has amazing icones of many saints, angels ect. - very good quality for a cheap price!

The Church of St. Jovan Vladimir in Bar, Montenegro, completed in 2016, is a grand neo-Byzantine Orthodox cathedral dedicated to the martyred ruler and saint Jovan Vladimir, serving as a major spiritual and cultural landmark.

A stunning and peaceful place of worship that stands out as one of Bar’s most iconic landmarks. The Church of St. Jovan Vladimir is beautifully designed with gleaming golden domes, striking mosaics, and a spacious interior filled with light and reverence. Even if you are not religious, the architecture and serene atmosphere are well worth a visit. The church’s interior is adorned with traditional Orthodox iconography, still being completed in parts, which gives you a sense of living history. It’s especially beautiful during sunset when the light catches the domes and surrounding mountains. Located near the sea and easily accessible from the city center, this modern cathedral is not only a spiritual site but also a cultural gem. A perfect stop for those interested in Montenegrin Orthodox tradition, history, or simply seeking a quiet moment of reflection. Tip: Modest clothing is appreciated, and photos are usually allowed respectfully.

I'm not Orthodox but this is one lovely church ❤️

We went to the Church of St. Jovan Vladimir in Bar when we drove through the city. We didn’t expect such a beautiful church. We went inside and were the only people inside and were able to have a look on all the beautiful pictures and frescos in the church by our own. It is difficult to comprehend everything inside because there is so much to discover. I really can recommend a visit in the church if St. Jovan Vladimir.

We had an amazing visit here. Only €5 entry for an adult, then you can wander around for as long as you would like. There was so much to see, so would recommend having a rest halfway through or at least avoiding the hottest part of the day! So many lovely viewpoints, great for getting pictures. Information on the buildings, ruins, and history was available too. Would definitely recommend, it was a great day trip from the coast!

Spactacular ruins. Due to large area you won’t feel crowds. There’s extensive information about Bar history in the museum. You should dedicate some time for walking and visiting different chambers. There’s water fountain, toilet.

Must see location - a beautifully preserved city and citadel. Definitely worth the trip. The kids e enjoyed roaming freely in the different street and found every nook and cranny.

Recently, when visiting Montenegro, I was honestly at a loss for what to do and I randomly chose a tour that just happened to include a visit to this old fortress. Turned out to be such a great choice. The ruins of the fortress overlooking Stari Bar are an amazing archeological site. From the main gate to the Prince's Palace, the ruins are dripping with history and endlessly picturesque. Note that, hiking the site can be challenging at times. Many of the stone surfaces are smooth and slippery after centuries of weathering and foot traffic. But that caveat aside, Old Bar and the citadel are must-sees when visiting Montenegro.

Stunning, beautiful place to visit. €5 adults and €1 children under 14. Historical place well worth a visit.

Very nice Fort, I liked the augmented reality QR Codes which explain things through your phone and show you how buildings used to be. 5 euros entry, don't expect too much from the toilets

Very nice view. A lot of restaurants, bars and souvenir shops in walkthrough. 4 stars because of prices. All over 12 yeas old pay 5€ to enter, and under 12 pays 3€. Not worth the money, comparing to, let's say Kalemegdan in Belgrade, where entrance is free and you need few hours to walk around all, with much more content to see and enjoy .

Very disappointing vacation in Montenegro. The free beach in Sutomore is overcrowded with people, many of whom smoke. And their cigarette butts immediately leave in the sand. For a person who cannot stand the smell of cigarettes, there is simply nowhere to hide, as everyone smokes: women, men, young and old. The sea is deep and everyone has to crowd on the narrow line where they can stand. Paid beaches cost 15-20 euros for two sunbeds and an umbrella. For a person who stays on the beach 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening - this is an unreasonable waste of money. On the free beach, the people lie side by side. All the paths leading to the beach are strewn with mountains of garbage.

Nice place where you can spend a lot of time and enjoy a lot or fun

Easy to get to by train from Podgorica. But not very inspiring. Full of beach umbrellas (paid) and not much actual beach. Water depth increases rapidly so unless you are confident swimmer you are stuck within a few metres of shore.

Came out of season (late October). Everything had shut down which had the positive of it being empty and we had the place to ourselves. One or two cafes still open. It’s 22 degrees today even over cast which makes it very easy to chill with the kids. The sand is super clean and the water too. It’s very simple which is Montenegro 🇲🇪 in a nutshell and you couldn’t ask for more.

A beautiful beach in a beautiful setting. Very popular in Montenegro. What's annoying is the trash everywhere. Trash along the streets. Cigarette butts on the beach. But the most annoying thing of all are the cars. Every conceivable space is taken up by cars. Cars and motorcycles even drive along the beach promenade. If you stroll along there, you'll get honked at!

It can be better. there are restaurants,cafes and shops.but you look at the cars go by when you swimming.watter is good some time little dirty.

Beautiful sandy beach. Crowded by locals during weekends. Complet of 2 sunbeds, umbrella and table, rent for only 5€ Mister of the bar have a waiters and possibility to order drink at the beach for same price as in the bar Kind staff. Mostly very clean sand and clean sea.

Great experiance for Families with children. Olive tree is amazing, but children prefer to follow races of turtles and spending time on feeding them. We loved it!

Interesting visit, both impressive and historic. If you want to play along, go three time around it (wealth, health and happiness). The entry is not free, you need to pay a small fee

Off the main road you will find this lovely thriving piece of history. It is cared for by a team who loves and appreciates its value. The lady running the booth thay day, once she realized we respected and appreciated the tree, oh she opened up and shared so much! She was born down the road from the tree and grew up loving it, there are 15 turtles living within the fence and most of the trinkets and olive oil sold at the kiosk are made locally as well. Thank you to the kind woman who made our experience so wonderful.

Around 2500 years old. Costs €2 to visit. Very nice little stop off on my journey.

The idea of visiting it is nice since it is 2000 years old but it’s not spectacular as the one in Greece, however the place is quite and clean. Entrance fee is 2€ for adults and one for kids

The oldest tree in Europe, damaged by fire many years ago but still very much alive. Legend says walk around 3 times for love, health and luck.

It’s a nice place to see oldest tree. The tree is said to be over 2,000 years old. Worth spending some time.

Beautiful and charming little town, set on a hill, with a fortress at the top. Very touristic and busy, but definitely worth a visit. Lots of lovely little shops, cafes and restaurants. Very scenic and fun.

Well worth visiting. One can see old town Bar life through the history going way back to BC ages. There are also museums with interesting exhibits and artefacts to see collected on the archaeological sites around. Locations of interest are well marked with plaques with historical texts placed for tourists to get the grasp of the importance of certain buildings within the old town. Overall recommended for a visit.

Really beautiful and interesting stroll around the old town of bar, it was quiet and had information plaques throughout. Would recommend it. The restaurant and shopping area right outside the walls was lovely too. Well worth a visit.

Very nice instagrammable ruins, quite big area. 5€ adult ticket. Parking available, either paid and free(a few spots) . Much open space, be aware about sun in summer.

Visiting the Old Town of Bar was like stepping into a forgotten chapter of history. Nestled at the foot of Mount Rumija, this ancient fortress town offers sweeping views, crumbling stone walls, and a palpable sense of mystery. The €5 entrance fee is well worth it—inside, you’ll find winding paths, remnants of churches and towers, and quiet corners perfect for reflection or photos. I especially loved how nature has reclaimed parts of the ruins, with fig trees and wild herbs growing between the stones. It’s peaceful, atmospheric, and surprisingly expansive. There are also charming cafés just outside the entrance where you can sip a cold drink and soak in the view. Whether you're a history buff, a photographer, or just someone who enjoys wandering through beautiful ruins, Stari Bar is a must-see. Just wear good shoes and bring water—there’s a lot to explore!

The old town is easy to get lost in. That's the beauty of it. It can get quite busy, beware when there are cruise ships in the bay as then it gets crowded. Early in the morning is best as the it is not too hot.

Old town of Bar was our first stop of the two day trip from Albania to Montenegro. It was quite early in the morning and the businesses were just opening up. We didn't do much apart from a short visit of the main streets and greet a few albanian habitants. Would love to go back and explore some more about the history, the traditions of the people there. There was also this special dog that greeted us at the entrance of the visit and accompanied us all the way till the end. It made everything even more memorable 😊

Unfortunately the beach has been neglected and not cleaned up by builders/trades people leaving building materials on the beach. Also sun lounges from a hotel in my picture sit on horrible dirt /mud there is no sand or pebbles The Council of the area should be more proactive in making people keep the beach CLEAN

It's like on the pictures, a beautiful place. The water is crystal clear, it is a bit deep and the lower parts have bigger shaped rocks. The beach is filled with people, umbrellas & sun beds though. Also after 5-6pm the waves get huge. Other than that, I have no negative thoughts about this beach.

We were there at the beginning of Oct '23. Water was clear and warm. Stony bottom, wear water shoes. Beach was slightly stoney too. Noticed bites on our ankles later that night, and we determined that they were from sand fleas. Oh well... can happen anywhere. Still, it was great to swim in the sea.

Great, semi-sand beach, nice and clean out of season, calm, beautiful and not crowded at all! Our 2yo daughter was happy and spent hours playing and swimning there

Dramatically overcrowded!! Just no free stone between the people. The nature and the sea is perfect, but no vibes when there are so many people around.

One of most beautiful places in Montenegro , you do not have to use the main beach , there are many from left to right .

A safe and beautiful place for parents with children. Extremely kind people.

We had a very pleasant 2h tour, our guide and the captain were both very nice. This private boat tour was our best experience here, right in the end of our 7-day stay in Montenegro. Highly recommended! And thank you Marina for letting us book last minute!

We had a great time with this company. Our guide spoke English and French. The private tour was very nice as we could be more intimate. We had a lot information on the lake and it's secrets ! Plus side is that this boat is one of the nicest of the harbour ;)

We had an amazing trip on Lake Skadar! The scenery was stunning and the whole experience was both beautiful and very interesting. The hosts also treated us with some lovely local snacks, which made the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

*A perfect 2-hour boat tour!* Our captain, Darko, was incredibly friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The hospitality was wonderful — we were treated with snacks and local wine on board. Marina, the owner, is warm, honest and very kind. After the tour, she recommended great local spots to eat and visit. The price was very fair. Highly recommended — 10/10!

We really enjoyed the tour. We were a little late, but there were no problems with that. They met us, told us everything, and helped us buy tickets. They gave us nuts, raisins, different fruits, smoki, and drinks in the fridge. You may pay more here than some local people on the spot, but this is an individual tour with very good service. They answered emails and met us; the guide answered questions we asked about birds or the lake. As far as we understood, seeing a pelican is not a problem, but we saw them for the first time, so we were very happy. But we did not see a large cormorant on the lake. We found it ourselves later by the river from the lake. It was a wonderful tour, and we have great memories of this place.

I recently had the pleasure of joining a 3-hour tour of Lake Skadar, and it was an absolutely enchanting experience! From the moment we set off, the stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains took my breath away. The crystal-clear waters and vibrant wildlife made every moment feel magical. What truly made this tour unforgettable was our guide Ivica. His passion for the region was evident in every word he spoke. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and ecology of Lake Skadar, but also genuinely enthusiastic, bringing the stories to life with their engaging storytelling. Their warmth and friendliness created such a welcoming atmosphere, making us feel comfortable. Ivica was always ready to answer questions, share interesting facts, and ensure that we had the best possible experience. They pointed out hidden gems and beautiful spots that we would have otherwise missed. It was clear that they truly cared about our enjoyment and wanted us to experience the beauty of Lake Skadar to the fullest. Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of scenic beauty and delightful company. I left with a heart full of joy and unforgettable memories. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the charm of Lake Skadar! Thank you to our wonderful guide for making this an extraordinary adventure!

Outstanding boat trip on skhöder lake. A private boat trip in an original wooden boat. Very special, everything taken care of to the last detail. For the people of Boat old bridge company nothing is too crazy, as it turned out today! BIG support today with my proposal. Wow... couldn't have been better. Marina & Dado (if I say it right) are lovely people. ❤️🍀 Greetings Gino & Erika 😘

Incredible experience. The owner was with us the whole time explaining the history of the winery! We had the best time! Very intermit setting. Only 3 tables at a time. Make sure you book! They have no sulphates in their wine which is big bonus! The best time tasting I have been to! They was unlimited food and wine which I have never experienced before! We had the €25 pp wine and food experience!

What an amazing experience! It was the perfect combination of great wine, delicious home made food and lovely hosting. Highly recommend everyone who's coming to the area. Make sure you make a reservation because they can only accommodate few tables a night which makes the experience much more private and relaxed in the best possible way. We absolutely loved it and left with 3 bottles of wine to take home with us. Thanks for a perfect evening!

Cannot put in words how much of a gem this place is. We are 5 vegetarians, and the family made sure to supply veggies and other foods instead of meat. The food was insanely good and the wine was fantastic! We also bought one wine home priced at 15 euros. Very fair prices for an amazing experience. The place is homey and beautiful, not many tables at once so you have a very quiet and intimate place. The woman answered all of our questions and was absolutely lovely! Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

An amazing experience at this vineyard. 14 generations of winemaking in one family was certainly reflected in the quality of the wine and the food we tasted over the 2 hours we spent there. We booked in advance and received tastings of 3 wines, and their 15 year old vognac. Plus family reared prosciutto, cheeses, bread, figs and walnuts. The later pairing so well with their dessert wine we sampled. Montenegrin hospitality at its best!

Everyone who visits Montenegro must go and do a wine tasting with this family run winery. The hosts are a brother-sister duo and you really feel like you are guests in their home. The wine is splendid and so is the platter served with it. They are very generous with their servings and sweet in general. We learned so much and had a great time. They can also arrange pick up and drop off to your hotel at a much reasonable price than local agenicies.

Today we went to the winnery, it was amazing! Thanks for the stories and the tasting. We did the tour with 4 wines and 1 rekija and one different after likeur. The last two they have different tastes. From kiwi to pomenegrate. And From walnut to cherry amazing. But after that we could ask anything with our guide. From historie to politics it was verry fun. Thanks a lot. If it was possible to give more stars we would!

We had a wonderful time at this family-owned vineyard. The wine tasting was excellent and the accompanying food was delicious – highly recommended! Special thanks to our friendly and wonderful hosts.

20 euros for 2 chairs + 1 umbrella... a bit expensive compared to other beaches but the water is beautiful and this beach feels more secluded than others. Water shoes recommended like at any other pebbled beach (and the sand/rocks get very hot)

Beautiful beach, a bit rocky, if you have kids, get them Crocs so they can walk on the hot stones to the cool clear water. 20 euros for two beach chairs. there is a fantastic beach bar on the other side of the beach, local beer is very light and refreshing in the hot summer! the bar/cafe staff are super friendly and even made plain pasta with cheese for picky eaters! we had the beach mostly to ourselves and a couple of locals. the beach is clean, the water crystal clear!

This beach is located on the road from Bar to Sutomore. It has a beach bar in the shade of a pine tree. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas or bring your own equipment. There are showers with fresh and clean water. Large parking lot above the beach

Fantastic place. Like most od beaches on Montenegro,part on beach is payed sunbeds,but a lot of free place also is alowed. There is a free shower but no toilet.

The beach is very beautiful and picturesque! There are few people, there is parking for cars. The entrance to the sea is stone, it is best to go into the water in special shoes. There are cafes and sun loungers.

Small but nice. Fully loaded with gringos and tourists after 2pm.

In my opinion, this is the best commercial beach in Bar. It's far nicer than the city beaches and way more picturesque- with colorful rocks and sharp cliffs. But, the free area gets quite cramped as the beach is small. If you wish to visit it from Bar, take the public bus as there's a bus stop right next to the entrance. It's difficult to walk there by foot, as there's only a small dirt path right next to the freeway.

The beach is quiet and calm, but the water is greenish and muddy near the shore. Also, the road there is not for the fainthearted: really narrow and winding, at times making it difficult for two cars to pass by. If you like fishing in the lake, it's perfect. For swimming, not so much.

Great secluded lake beach. Narrow street but not so difficult to drive, you have only to pay attention. Lake water, peeble sand beach and very quiet zone. There is a restaurant close to it. Kids can also enjoy a swim.

We drove from Virpazar and back, which took approximately 1 hour each way. Only had a few passing cars, which is nice because it is narrow most of the time. Down on the beach we went past an old building to the right, the beach was completely empty. There was shade and the water was a very comfortable temperature for a swim.

One of the few beaches on Skadar Lake. Easily accessible by car from the panoramic road. You can take boat trips to one of the small offshore islands or just enjoy the crystal clear water and nature. If the rip-off in the parking lot is too much for you, you can also park a little further ahead on the side of the road.

Murići Beach is quite far from civilization, and the road leading there is in poor condition—narrow, winding, and partially unpaved. However, once you arrive, it all becomes worth it. You’re welcomed by untouched nature, crystal-clear lake waters, and a sense of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere. It’s a perfect escape for those looking to disconnect and relax. All in all, the journey may be rough, but the experience at the beach is absolutely worth it.

Very calme place beautiful scenery with fresh fish from the lake.

Very quiet and peaceful place 😍Kindly recommend 😌

Best experience in Montenegro! Come and try out wine.

(Translated by Google) Winery 10 points, very warm welcome and tour. The owners show the entire production process, sterile cleanliness, high quality products. Google navigator leads incorrectly, only to the bridge, from which you can see the winery below. If you drive from the coast, then drive to the first settlement from the bridge, then turn right following the signs. I advise everyone to visit this winery, you will not regret it! (Original) Винодельня на 10 баллов, очень радушный прием и экскурсия. Хозяева показывают весь процесс производства, стерильная чистота, качество продукции высокое. Гугл навигатор ведёт неверно, только до моста, с которого внизу и виднеется винодельня. Если ехать от побережья, то проезжаете до первого населенного пункта от моста, сворачивайте уже по указателям направо. Всем советую посетить эту винодельню, вы не пожалеете!

(Translated by Google) Definitely the best wine in Montenegro, where the historical Vranac grape variety has been preserved, thanks to which you have a unique opportunity to taste truly local wine. Special thanks to the owners for their hospitality; they will definitely welcome you here and let you taste all the drinks!!! (Original) Однозначно лучшее вино в Черногории, где сохранился исторический сорт винограда «Vranac», благодаря которому у вас есть уникальная возможность попробовать по настоящему местное вино. Отдельное спасибо хозяевам за гостеприимство, вас тут точно встретят и дадут продегустировать все напитки!!!

(Translated by Google) The journey there is quite an experience in itself. Deeply hidden lies a beautiful vineyard where we were warmly welcomed by the owners. The dog sat quietly in his kennel. The lady explained everything to us and showed us around in English. We had a wonderful time and went home with some delicious wine. (Original) De weg erheen is al een hele belevenis. Diep verscholen ligt een mooie wijngaard waar wij gastvrij zijn ontvangen door de eigenaren. De hond zat rustig in zijn kennel. De dame heeft ons alles uitgelegd en laten zien in het engels. Wij hebben een leuke tijd gehad en met wat lekkere wijn naar huis gegaan.

(Translated by Google) We were here in September 2020. The correct coordinates are 42.2238397, 19.0543689, you can follow the signs. The road is not very good, but the small car was able to pass. The owners gave an individual tour, it is free if you take the products. Yes, and why not take it if you are intrigued, and the price is reasonable. Thank you for the sea of ​​impressions and work during the Covid madness. (Original) Были здесь в сентябре 2020. Правильные координаты 42.2238397, 19.0543689, можно ехать по указателям. Дорога не очень, но малолитражка смогла проехать. Хозяева провели индивидуальную экскурсию, она бесплатная, если брать продукцию. Да и как не брать, если заинтриговало, да и цена адекватная. Спасибо за море впечатлений и работу во время ковидного помешательства.

(Translated by Google) I recommend every tourist to visit this wonderful winery. Insanely delicious wine, port and nut liqueur, at very affordable prices. Also wonderful and friendly hosts and of course an authentic place. (Original) Рекомендую каждому туристу посетить эту чудесную винодельню. Безумно вкусное вино, портвейн и ореховый ликёр, при этом по очень демократичным ценам. Также прекрасные и дружелюбные хозяева и, конечно же, аутентичное место.

(Translated by Google) If you are in Montenegro, this place is a must visit. The excursion is no worse than in a museum. And the port is simply amazing! (Original) Если будете в Черногории - это место обязательно к посещению. Экскурсия не хуже, чем в музее. А портвейн просто потрясающий!

Absolutely magical place! Located high in the mountains, it is very peaceful and serene. It offers a large entertainment space, a fairy tale like half a mile walk through the woods with various lighting effects, you can also order food and drinks. So much creativity went into making this unique place what it is. If you want a nice cool evening after a long day at the beach, don’t hesitate and come to LightLand!

The LED-lit magical forest is an absolute delight for families! With its vibrant lights, charming mushroom displays, swinging fun, and incredible night sky views, it’s a perfect destination for an enchanting evening. The forest’s captivating ambiance fosters unity and joy, making it an unforgettable experience for all. Don’t miss this hidden gem – it’s a blend of nature and magic that will leave you mesmerized!

This is something very different and spectacular, especially for families whit kids from age 5 . So fascinating. One of the best thing to experience in Montenegro

Absolutely magical place, like a fairy tale. I loved that the lights are not annoying and too bright, but on the contrary - dimmed, cozy and very relaxing. I slept like a baby after just a couple hours there :) The place is worth visiting more than once, I will go there again.

This place was really magical! My boyfriend and I visited with just the two of us without kids. We think it is still is a wonderful place even as an adult! The host was really really friendly and the cafe is also beautifuly done. Absolute loved it and I think the pictures don’t really do the magical place justice. You should really come here to feel the magic 🫶🫶

Very nice place to go with your family. They built this light land im the forest between capital city and the coast. At the evening it is beautiful. They also organise small concerts. They have food and drinks. For my taste it is a little bit expencive and it lrevents you to come back. But to see it once it is worth it.

Cool and lounge place - can attend both with children and without- playgrounds, benches, swings, bar - ice cream, coffee, tea

(Translated by Google) A beautiful beach bar with very pleasant music, palm trees and beautiful umbrellas. They brought a slightly different and more beautiful view of the beach than the monotonous one we have been used to these years. (Original) Predivan plažni bar sa vrlo prijatnom muzikom, palmama i lepim suncobranima. Uneli su malo drugačiji i lepši pogled na plažu od monotonog na koji smo navikli ovih godina.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful beach in Montenegro! 🥰 (Original) Najljepsa plaza u crnoj gori! 🥰
