Ulcinj Stari Grad Kalaja (Old city fortress)
budapest8 Says: We spent about 10 days on and offliving at Zuto's in the old town,and must say that our walks down tothe rest of Ulcinj either via Mala Plazaand the South Gate or to further upthe town via the museum and the North Gate, it was one of the best holidays I have ever had.We...
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: We ended up in here because I was hungry and hot and just had to eat something after our journey by bus from Podgorica and before looking for accomodation.A friendly place where we were definitely the only tourists.The menu comes in Montenegrin and Albanian language but we...
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
yumyum Says: There are plenty of buses from the main bus station in Podgorica to Ulcinj every day. We took the one at 10.58 and arrived at about 12.40 in Ulcinj. During the journey you will see part of Lake Skadar and if you sit on the right side an old fortress by the lake. Later you...
Most small shops selling tourist and beach stuff: CLACKERS for the kids
budapest8 Says: IT'S THE CLACKERS that are the attraction/craze that matters...many different colours, even saw ones with Hanna Montanna on. CLACKERS or as they seem to call them inSerbian/Montenegrian "Clickety Clack" About €2 for the dangly balls on a bit of coloured string with a ring...
Any green grocers or supermarket MAX: Buying Montenegrian beer
budapest8 Says: When on a tight budget, it's a good idea to purchase the2 litre bottles sold in plastic bottles. Just ask for PIVO, similar to the Russian word 'piva'(Serbian language: пиво / pivo) The most popular is the four lagers under the brand name "Nik":...
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...
budapest8 Says: Truth or legend it still adds to themysteries about the fortress old town of Ulcinj.The tale about Miguel de Servantes Savedra andhis 5 years spent as a slave while ransomed for 500 goldernescudos/ducats Well here is what some Montenegrians claim, but I doubt itas it was...
Nature calls and public toilets in Ulcinj
budapest8 Says: When the urge calls that you needto relieve yourself and find a toilet,then I would suggest carrying a rollof toilet paper at all times and eitheruse the facilities of where your staying.The bus station has good clean freetoilets but the public toilet costs a few € centsbut...

Helpfulness
Miscellaneous: 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 the detail on what to see and do is a bit vague and hard to read. I think that's what I found to be the biggest problem with this book. It's too hard to navigate and you need to trawl through pages to find the relevant details of what you're looking for.
Having said all that, they're aren't too many guide books dedicated to Montenegro so I suppose beggers can't be choosers and it did help me with my planning of my trip.
Think Lonely Planet just brought out an individual guide to Montenegro...would recommend this more than the Bradt guide based on past experience of both publishers.
Ulcinj Section in the Bradt guide gives a good background to the history of the town and it's growth through Venetian and Venetian times as well as outlining it's role as a pirate and slave centre.
