Discover Bar: One of the Sunniest Places to Live in Montenegro

Located where the mountains meet the sea, Bar is one of Montenegro’s best-kept secrets — a coastal town that enjoys over 270 sunny days a year and offers a fantastic quality of life throughout all four seasons. While often overlooked in favor of more well-known destinations, the Bar Riviera is quietly becoming one of the most attractive places to live and invest in Montenegro.

If you dream of living in the Mediterranean with a local soul, Bar might be exactly what you want.

Bar Riviera – A Riviera for All Seasons

Stretching from Sutomore to Dobra Voda, the Bar Riviera offers diverse coastal landscapes — from long pebble and sandy beaches to hidden coves and lush green hills. Unlike some other coastal towns that go quiet in the off-season, Bar remains vibrant year-round thanks to its large population, mild climate, and strong local economy.

• Summer in Bar brings beach life, open-air cafés, and Mediterranean sunsets — without the overwhelming tourist crowds of other cities.
• Autumn and winter are peaceful, yet sunny — perfect for long walks by the sea, mountain hikes, or simply enjoying the slower rhythm of coastal life.
• Spring is ideal for nature lovers, as citrus trees bloom and fresh local produce fills the markets.

Sun, Space, and a Slower Lifestyle

Bar is known as one of the sunniest towns in Montenegro, making it a perfect place for those who value light, warmth, and time spent outdoors.
It also offers more space and affordability than other coastal cities, with larger plots, modern residential areas, and excellent real estate value, whether you’re looking for a seaside apartment, family home, or modern villa.

What makes Bar particularly attractive for year-round living?

• Low cost of living compared to neighboring countries and coastal areas
• Excellent infrastructure: schools, hospitals, supermarkets, cafés, and markets open year-round
• A major seaport and railway for easy travel and logistics
• Mild Mediterranean climate with short winters and warm, sunny days
• Safe, friendly community and relaxed lifestyle

Nature, Culture, and Connection

Bar offers a unique combination of nature and culture. You can explore the Old Town of Bar, a historic fortress with Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences, or visit the oldest olive tree in Europe, over 2,000 years old.

Hiking trails lead to Rumija Mountain, offering breathtaking sea views, while nearby Lake Skadar provides kayaking, wine tasting, and birdwatching opportunities. And if you’re in the mood for city life, Podgorica is just over an hour away by road or rail.

With the Bar–Belgrade railway, many expats, remote workers, and investors are discovering Bar as a strategic base — quiet, connected, and full of potential.
