Ulcinj Stari Grad Kalaja (Old city fortress)
budapest8 Says: Ulcinj is one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic coast, with evidence of settlement dating back to 500 BC withstanding the ravages of time for 25 centuries. Stari Grad juts up magically on the cliffs above the open sea, with its face towards Otrant it is guaranteed to...

yumyum Says: One evening we were lucky to get a table of a good view at this location at the Mala Plaza which is also brilliant for people watching.I opted for Spaghetti Napolitana which where great but somewhat on the spicy side for my taste. They cost Euro 4.00. Soft drinks were Euro...
yumyum Says: The Caffe-Pizzeria Plaza is located along the beachfront of Mala Plaza, Ulcinj's city beach. In the peak season you are lucky to get a table in the first row with a good view of the the street where in the evening everyone is promenading up and down. Excellent place for...
pure1942 Says: Can’t remember the name of this bar, but it very easy to find...It’s the one at the very end of the Mala Plaza beach and sits on stilts over the water. Have to mention this bar not only for the great views across the bay but for the friendly staff. We popped in after a...
yumyum Says: On one day we made a day trip to Stari Bar. We first took a bus to Bar (frequently) for Euro 2.50. This took maybe around 40 minutes. Outside the main bus terminal in Bar, there is a local bus (Olimpia bus company) near the railway station which runs hourly to Stari Bar for...
By bus from Podgorica to Ulcinj

Any green grocers or supermarket MAX: Buying Montenegrian beer

CRNCI ULCINJA or the 'African Montenigrins'
budapest8 Says: PART 1It seems that port cities that have a rich historyof trading with many nations or being occupiedby many different empires will also have a rich culture.Ulcinj is no exception. One seeming strange impact isUlcinj's past with having pirates and slave ships.A minority of...

pure1942 Says: I don't rely heavily on guide books anyway but I do use them a lot when planning a trip and to get background information on the history of a place. The Bradt guide does well in giving background information and history of Montenegro and its towns and cities in general but...
