A few interesting tidbits of information for the Bar to Belgrade/Belgrade to Bar train ride: 1. Construction started shortly after WWII, but it was only completed and opened in 1976 (in person, by President Tito himself whose famed private Blue Train regularly used the route). 2. It is 470 kilometres long. 3. It includes an amazing 254 tunnels. The...
This is a spectacular trip and as comfortable as can beexpected considering it takes over 11 hours. Trains are always less exhaustingthan buses since it is so easy to walk around, stretch your legs, use the WC,etc. And the scenery is particularly incredible for at least half the journey(from north of Podgorica up to maybe an hour or so into Serbia)...
There is also night train with couchettes and sleepers but you would miss all the best views. The day train that we took was entirely 2nd class, leaves Bar daily at 9:00 and arrives in Belgrade at 20:05 (and roughly the same times in reverse). As far as I can tell, there is still no way to book tickets online but you can check the most current info...
There was also a dining car where you could buy drinks and snacks. There were a handful of booths and windows that could be opened. It was pretty reasonably priced, although I heard someone say that they eventually ran out of sandwiches so you may not want to rely on it fully. You could also run out and grab drinks and snacks at some of the station...
What Side Has the Best Views
The most important thing to know, as a tourist, is that you want to sit on the west side of the train (left starting in Bar, right starting in Belgrade). 90% of the time the best scenery is on this side. The scenery was also unquestionably better in the Montenegrin section, although even as the sheer cliffs and steep gorges transformed into rolling hills and farmland as we got closer to Belgrade, the view was always pretty good.
Luggage Storage
There was lots of room for luggage to be placed on the rack above the seats and some space at the beginning of the car if you have heavier luggage.
Bathrooms
Each car had a bathroom. They were pretty unremarkable, just your normal train toilets but sometimes that’s all you can ask for.
Bar isn’t a particularly popular tourist destination, withmost people just staying a night either before or after taking the train. Butit does boast the impressive Stari Bar (Old Bar), an extensive set of ruinsjust up the hill out of the modern part of the city. The entrance fee to theruins is just €2 per person and there is plenty to explore, some...
All of Montenegro has good value accommodation but we found the Bar was particularly impressive. We wanted to be within walking distance to the Bar railway station, which is also near that bus station where we got dropped off after our bus from Kotor, and since we were only staying one night we picked the budget option of Guest House Lalic. They we...
Unlike Bar, the Serbian capital is a big city and there is a lot to see and do in Belgrade, a place regularly found on best of the Balkans lists. It has a really young feel to it, with lots of teens and twenty-somethings walking all over the place, so it isn’t surprising that it’s known for its serious night life (although we never actually made it...
