Discover Bar at Your Own Pace - with rentacars.me

Bar, a city often seen only as a port, hides much more - from promenades and beaches to cultural events and festivals. This seaside town captivates with a combination of the sea on one side and mountains on the other, and its special energy is present throughout the year. While many cities "quiet down" after summer, Bar remains lively and dynamic.

Getting to Bar is easy, and the most comfortable way to explore the city and its surroundings is by car. Rentacars.me offers a wide range of vehicles - safe, comfortable, and tailored to different needs, making driving a true pleasure. The drive from Podgorica to Bar takes about an hour, while on Sundays the journey may require additional preparation due to traffic. In the vicinity of Podgorica, a mandatory breakfast or coffee break is recommended at the Niagara restaurant, and on the way back, the legendary date pie at the Jezero restaurant on Lake Skadar must not be missed - a special combination of nature and gastronomic delight within the National Park.

What Bar Offers

Bar is not just a modern seaside town - it has a soul. The lively but not overcrowded promenade is ideal for a peaceful stroll. The beach of Šušanj, located in the middle of a pine forest, offers a unique combination of the sea and the scent of pine. The city is also a destination for large cruise ships, and in summer it is possible to take a ferry to Bari in Italy.

Bar is known for its festivals, from the Olive Festival to the Bar Chronicle. King Nikola's Castle, located by the sea, is home to a local museum and cultural events, while the Topolica Sports Center offers numerous activities.

Old Bar - a Town in Stone

Old Bar is a ten-minute drive from the center. Narrow stone streets and the fortress offer a historical experience, and the view from the walls of the mountains and the sea is worth every step.

The Old Olive Tree

A special place in the vicinity of Bar is the Old Olive Tree in Mirovica, over 2000 years old. Its energy and historical significance make it an unmissable destination.
