Signature moments
Falling asleep in Serbia, waking up by the sea
The night train leaves Belgrade in the evening and runs through the mountains to the Adriatic coast, arriving in Bar in the early morning.
Two churches on the water
From Perast, a short boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks, an island church built on an artificial islet.
The view from Lovćen
The road climbs in hairpins above Kotor to the mausoleum of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, with the bay far below.

Before you choose
Is this journey for you?
A good fit if
Rail lovers, couples and friends who want to reach the Adriatic slowly, and travellers combining Serbia and Montenegro in a short trip.
Maybe not if
Travellers who need a fixed arrival time on day 3: the night train often runs late. A night on the train means simpler comfort than a hotel.
Pace and effort
Relaxed to classic. One night on the train in a sleeper or couchette compartment; short drives in Montenegro.
Tailor-made
Make it your own
Reverse direction (Bay of Kotor to Belgrade by night train) · A summer daytime train instead of the night train (timetable permitting) · An extra night in Belgrade or Kotor · A day on Lake Skadar.
