Hi Katja and welcome to railcc!

When do you want to travel?
The most scenic and spectacular part of the journey is between Podgorica and Kolasin; in winter you should take the day train from Bar to Belgrade to be able to see this part in daylight. The night train in the opposite direction could also work, depending on how much delay it accumulates on its way...

Do not take the Belgrade to Bar day train during winter if you want to see this part of the railway in daylight.

You cant book online; simply buy your ticket locally at a station.
1st or 2nd class doesnt make much difference...on the day trains all coaches _should_ have air-condition (which means you cant open the windows), yet some trains convey older 2nd class coaches where you can open the windows on some days. Hard to predict though.
In the direction Bar - Belgrade, sit on the left hand side (which is a bit of luck too, since most coaches are compartment coaches with the compartments on one side and the corridor on the other).

Hello Flo

Yes you have a wonderful blog with nice pictures and adventures.

My trip start beginning in October. I want from Greece to Albania and then to Belgrad. But I can also fly back from Podgorica. See where I got the best prices back to Switzerland or near from the border. I see it would be also nice to go to Kolasin and go back.

Thanks for your advice.

Regards Katja

Thank you! :)

New blog posts about my past trip to the Balkans will follow, including Bar - Novi Sad as well as Albania. Where do you want to go to in Greece and Albania? How would you want to go to Belgrade? Or would you simply go there if you take your flight from there?

PS: We can also write in German if you prefer that. :)
