Flights from Tivat to Spain

Travel to Spain from Tivat

The flight from Tivat crosses the Adriatic and the Mediterranean from one end to the other and reaches Barcelona in around 2 hours 30 minutes. In total, Vueling flies direct from Tivat to 14 destinations in Spain.

Spain’s Mediterranean coast, around the Costa Brava, recalls Montenegro’s own shoreline. The big cities, the islands and the Atlantic north each call for a different itinerary.

What documents you need to travel to Spain

Montenegro is not part of the European Union or the Schengen Area, so crossing the border needs some attention.

Montenegrin citizens can enter Spain and the rest of the Schengen Area without a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, thanks to the visa liberalisation agreement between Montenegro and the European Union.

A passport is mandatory. It must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned date of departure from the Schengen Area and have been issued within the previous 10 years. Requirements can change, so check the current information on the travel documents page before you book.

As the flight leaves from outside the Schengen Area, you will go through passport control on arrival in Spain, as you enter the Schengen Area, so get to the airport with plenty of time to spare.

What to know when you land in Spain

Getting from the airport. Public transport from the main airports is good enough that a transfer is not needed. Landing in Barcelona from Tivat, you can be in the centre in under half an hour on metro line 9 Sud or the Aerobús. In Málaga, the commuter train serves the centre and the Costa del Sol, and in Seville the airport bus runs to Santa Justa station.

Mealtimes. Lunch in Spain is between 14:00 and 16:00 and dinner starts at 21:00, later than in Montenegro. Many kitchens do not open before then, and in smaller towns shops also close in the middle of the day.

High-speed rail. For anyone landing in Barcelona from Tivat, the AVE reaches Madrid in around 2 hours 30 minutes, and the lines to Málaga, Seville and Valencia start in Madrid. Stations are right in the city centres, so arriving in one city and leaving from another is more practical than doubling back.

Climate by region. The Spanish Mediterranean is quite similar to the Adriatic, with hot, dry summers. The north, from Bilbao to Galicia, is Atlantic and rainy all year round, and the interior goes above 40°C in August.

Spain uses the euro. Plugs are types C and F, with 2 round pins, at 230V.

What to do in Spain

Barcelona and the Catalan coast

Barcelona, at the other end of the Mediterranean from Tivat, brings together the Gothic Quarter, the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, with a beach inside the city and the Boqueria market on the Ramblas. Further north, the Costa Brava adds coves and fishing villages an hour away by car, along a coastline that recalls Montenegro’s.

Andalusia

Seville, the big city of the south, has flamenco in Triana, the Giralda, tiled courtyards and the Real Alcázar. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, when temperatures are more pleasant. Granada is home to the Alhambra and the Generalife, and Málaga to the Alcazaba, the Picasso Museum and the Costa del Sol.

The Balearic Islands

Palma de Mallorca, the start of an island itinerary, pairs the Serra de Tramuntana, a World Heritage Site, and its mountain villages with a Gothic cathedral facing the sea. Ibiza brings the coves and the nightlife, while Menorca moves at the slowest pace of the 3.

The Atlantic north

This is the part of Spain least like the Adriatic: green, rainy and with a density of acclaimed restaurants that is hard to match. Bilbao has the Guggenheim and the pintxos of the Casco Viejo, while Santiago de Compostela, with its World Heritage cathedral, marks the end of the Camino.

Luggage for your flight to Spain

The fare you pick at booking sets how much luggage you can take. The simplest fare includes a personal item that fits under the seat in front, and from there you can add cabin or checked luggage.

Special equipment, such as sports gear, musical instruments or baby items, comes with its own conditions, so it is worth checking them first. See the current conditions in Vueling’s luggage policy.
