It rained occasionally, but that was precisely why nature was so beautifully green. More sunshine would have been nice, but the general conditions were pleasant.
Mathijs PalsAlthough there was occasional rain, temperatures were generally pleasantly warm, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The downside were the somewhat unpredictable weather changes.
LaraThe Adriatic Sea was refreshing and clean, a true paradise. Highly recommended for a sunny vacation!
ZoeThere are occasional sunny moments, but also lots of rain and cold. Certainly not ideal for sun worshippers or winter sports enthusiasts.
Jesse TelThe temperature is ideal for swimming in the azure blue sea and relaxing on the beaches. A truly sunny place with consistently warm and sunny weather.
Zenna JoppeIt is ideal for both a beach vacation and sightseeing. Don't expect tropical heat, however.
EmmaThere are sunny days with pleasant temperatures, but also showers. The sea is still too cold to swim. It is a beautiful country, but I prefer to come in the summer.
RenskeThe interior has a winter charm, a little snow, but not enough for real winter sports fun.
JannekeNot exactly swimming weather, but perfect for sightseeing and hiking. Sunny sea views, no crowds of tourists, a visit in autumn is recommended. Sunglasses needed!
AmberA clear blue sky dominated the landscape and the temperature was pleasantly warm, ideal for beach lovers. Not a drop of rain could be seen.
Isa BitterThe average temperature was 20 degrees, the sun shone most of the time, but there were rainy days as well. It was almost ideal for hiking and sightseeing.
Thijmen van HeelFebruary in Montenegro can be very changeable. Expect cold winter days and rain punctuated by surprisingly warm, sunny days. Although it is noticeably cold on the coast, Montenegro's beauty is still breathtaking.
