About Getting to Bar & Ulcinj

Railway Transport of Montenegro (ŽPCG) runs local trains from Podgorica to Bar via Virpazar and Sutomore, a lovely ride across the edge of Lake Skadar; check the current timetable on zpcg.me. By car, the road through the Sozina tunnel brings Bar about an hour from the capital, and buses continue to Ulcinj. Bar is also Montenegro’s main ferry port.
