Ulcinj, Montenegro - Sept. 2010 - Ulcinj, Montenegro

Ulcinj is the southern most major town along the Montenegrin coast before reaching the border with Albania. The significant majority of the population is ethnic Albanian.

Millennials usually speak English, older generations speak Italian, German or Russian.

Travel as a Muslim to Ulcinj

• Bus station - Autobuska Stanica Ulcinj | Totosi BB GPS: 41.93148, 19.22206 30 minutes walk from the Old town ☎ +382 30 413 225 | Opening Hours: 24/7 Online time table . Services: Infinity Snacks bar & Internet cafe, 24 hrs supermarket, free Wi-Fi and a toilet (0,50€). Taxis from the bus station to the Old Town walls cost €3-5.

• 8 buses per day to Podgorica, 2 hours, €6. Regular buses to Budva and Kotor, 7-9€.
• To Bar you can either take a normal bus or catch a 'combi' shuttle van ( about half an hour, hourly).
• From Kosovo during the tourist season there are frequent buses leaving from the major cities. The price should be around €15. These can rarely be booked advance online, but a stroll round a major downtown will immediately show what is on offer (e.g. try the Bill Clinton Boulevard in Pristina. Buses leave from both Pristina and Ulcinj (at 7pm each day, 11 hours), making about 4 rest stops on the way (Bar – Podgorica – Pec (Kosovo)).
• From Albania there are 'combi' shuttle vanes that come from Durres in Albania to Ulcinj, although they most likely are not official bus operations, so you'll have to do some asking around.
• There are also daily departures to Shkodra, Albania (06:00 and 12:30). These are, in theory, well connected with Albanian 'furgons' from Tirana and Durres. It takes 1 hour to Shkoder by "private" cab. If you are unable to find a bus or furgon you may try your luck in the area around the bus station. People may approach you (or you can just ask people) offering to take you to nearby Albanian towns and cities. During off-peak periods you may find someone willing to take you to Shkodra and bring you back the same day for around €20 to €30.
• Also direct buses (three times per week) to Split, Croatia via Dubrovnik.
• Buses to Novi Pazar, Serbia
• Sunday evening buses to Skopje, North Macedonia (via Shkodra (Albania) – Ohrid – Tetovo)

How to get around in Ulcinj

Ulcinj old town - Ulcinj, Old Town

Ulcinj is a small city, you will have no problem getting around by foot, but keep in mind that some parts are very hilly. The hilly roads can become quite slippery when wet and many of the smaller streets have no sidewalks. If you're walking on such a street, keep to the dry areas and step aside when you hear an approaching vehicle to let them pass. Many people drive fast even with pedestrians on the road.

There are many stairs that lead down the hills that can be used to avoid long winding roads, but you'll have to look for the entrances, or use Google Maps Satellite imagery to see where the stairs are; they're nost marked and they often look like they lead into someone's home.

It is an ancient Illyrian castle built by Ancient Greeks, conquered by various other nations, like Romans, Byzantines, Serbs, Venetians and Ottomans, and all of them having a impact on its architecture.
• Svač - Shas, Šas | Šas bb GPS: 41.9858 , 19.3186 - Svač is medieval town in ruins located near Šasko lake. There are ruins of some 13 century churches and the legend says there were 365 churches in total. Built by Slavs, it was conquered by Mongols and Ottomans.

What to do in Ulcinj

Ulcinj is a splendid central location for adventuring Montenegro's South Coast region (from Bar to Skadar Lake to Ada Bojana) and parts of Albania. The Ulcinj South Coast region boasts some of the most interesting adventure, historical and eco tours, and vacation beach stays in all of the Adriatic.

• Velika Plaža Beach - Long Beach - GPS: | ☎ There are good beach spots in the area, including some rocky ones in the southern part of town. The longest sandy beach in Montenegro, Velika Plaža and is located near by. At the Southern end of this 12km-long beach there is Ada Bojana.
• Ada Bojana - There are shuttle vanes that take you from the market on Skenderbeu Ave in Ulcinj to Velika Plaža and even to Ada Bojana (if there are at least 3 people going there). Alt place for shuttle vanes is near Palma restaurant. |fax= price= Ada Bojana, a triangular island with sandy beaches, formed by a river delta of the Bojana River and the Adriatic Sea. The island is a favourite spot for kitesurfers and windsurfers and it has a large nudist beach for those so inclined. You will have to pay 6 Eur/day yo access.

• Ušće (begins just on opposite side of Ada Bojana island and stretch in one direction to Velika plaža and in other direction to the Bojana River coast). Area is very similar to Ada Bojana, with two main differences. There is no nudist beach and place is filled with campers and young people looking for rest during the day and party in the night.
• Go for a walk after sunset when the main street fills with people promenading and taking some fresh air.
• For the more adventuresome you can take the 'combi' towards the Albanian border (but not crossing it) getting off on the first road heading towards Lake Skadar near the town of Brajše. There is a small bus from Brajše that runs along this small road towards the mountains which if it's running you can take for €0.50, otherwise you'll have to walk or hitchhike. Once you get to the peak of the mountain range you'll be standing almost exactly on the Albanian and Montenegrin border. You'll be able to look out over one of the most magnificent lakes in Europe as well as get a good view of the Adriatic coast, Albania and Montenegro. Continue hitchhiking up the lake, you'll get to see some of the most rural untouched villages in the Balkans. The southern half of the lake shore is populated by ethnic Albanians while the northern half all the way up to the town of Virpazar is populated by Montenegrins. There is very little travel between the two communities so there are almost no buses that run the course of the highway meaning you'll either have to walk or hitchhike. The people driving the road though few and far between seem more than willing to take hitchhikers. If you camp (which is a good idea) there are some camp sites about halfway between Virpazar and Arbnez.
• A former salt factory just east of the city is now a Flamingo Reservation, entrance is free.

Halal Restaurants in Ulcinj

UncinjMarkt - Ulcinj, Market

A few notes: fish restaurants calculate the price per 1 kg of raw fish. Example: One raw fish is about 500-600 grams, but when cleaned and cooked, it's around 200 grams. You get charged for 500-600 grams. If you see "scallop" on the menu anywhere, keep in mind that it's most likely NOT seafood but Meat (veal). The great majority of restaurants serve halal food, and thus Beef can be rarely found. Like in almost all Balkan towns you can find very good burek and ćevapi. Ulcinj's Albanians are one of the best and most skilled sweet food makers and bakers in former Yugoslavian area.

• Near the beach stalls sell - Halal Kebab and hamburgers.

• Fast food cafe - Rr. Hafiz Ali Ulqinaku 2nd floor, above small store € 1-3 Serve quite good falafel, french fries, Kebab. The owner seems to be from Middle East so he knows how to do this kind of food right.
