As I live now in the northern part of Montenegro, I can recommended some interesting places for visiting. Everyone goes on the coast during the summer, but in my opinion,much better choice is to go into the mountains. During the day you may swim in some lake or river, but you can sleep at night which is not possible on the coast. abljak is excellent to visit in the summer or a small town where I lived now,Berane. You can swim in Lim river and feel like you are somewhere in the Montenegrin coast. You may visit very interesting monasteries 艩udikova, 膼ur膽evi stupovi ( Pillars of St. George ),Kaludra, or may climb on the mountains Jelovica and Komovi.

There are so many amazing places to visit in Montenegro!!
Even after living here 10 years I am still discovering new places, and have still many more to see... There is such an amazing variety of sceneries it seems endless...
I really recommend checking the site of the National Touristic Organization, it is well made
And otherwise I agree with Besherat, about the North and Summer months: it is ideal to visit the "North" (everything except the coast) then, as there are so many tourists on the coast, and it is very hot... When at that time the temperatures are perfect in the mountains. And for the coast, March to June and Sept to October are great...
Enjoy !
