[SONICA 2011 – LOCATION]
Our new venue is only 80km from Montenegrin capital Podgorica, which is where the main airport is located and only 20km from Montenegrin port of Bar. From the airport or from the port you can also easy rent a car or get a taxi. Prices are affordable and fair even for long routes.
Montenegro’s currency is Euro €, so you won’t need to change your money and as in all developing countries you can easily find cash-machines, banks, hotels and all regular facilities. Many hotels, bungalows, apartments or simple rooms are available around the festival area, but we really suggest you to start checking on time as the festival period is at the start of the summer season, so there will be a large influx of tourists looking to stay on the beautiful Montenegrin coastal zone.
