Tours and activities in Bar
Bar is a port and modern town alongside two major cultural attractions: Old Bar (a medieval museum-town, 4 km from the center) and the Old Olive Tree near Mirovica — one of the oldest trees in Europe (over 2,000 years old). Crmnica, right next to Bar, is the heart of the wine tradition.
The main season is May–October. Old Bar is accessible year-round. Bar is a good base for those who want culture and nature with minimal crowds — Skadar Lake is a 25-minute drive away.

Frequently asked questions
What is Old Bar?
A medieval museum-town, devastated in the late 19th century. It's now an archaeological park with preserved churches, the Omerbašić Mosque, an aqueduct and a fortress. Entry is around €3.
Can I taste olive oil from the Old Olive Tree?
The Old Olive Tree still bears fruit, but it's protected. Local families in Mirovica make oil from older olive trees (100–500 years old) and sell it directly — often included in gastro tours.
What's the best way to reach Crmnica for a winery?
A 25-minute drive from Bar. Most wineries (Plantaže and smaller family ones) offer organized tours with transfer. Send an inquiry through the tour form.
Are the beaches in Bar suitable for families?
Yes. Sutomore, Čanj and Maljevik are sandy/pebbly and shallow, with far fewer crowds than Budva.
How do I combine Bar and Skadar Lake in one day?
A standard day program: morning at Old Bar + the Old Olive Tree, afternoon boat tour from Virpazar (Skadar Lake) + lunch. Most agencies offer this combination.
