BY LAND
If you want to keep your carbon footprint to a minimum, you could always take the train to Belgrade and then enjoy one of Europe's most dramatic journeys over the mountains to Virpazar. That final stretch takes 9 hours; how you get to Belgrade is of course up to you. Seat61 is a good place to plan your journey.If you're driving from Western Europe, we recommend that you head through Croatia to the bustling Dalmatian town of Split. From there, you simply drive down the Adriaticcoast to Dubrovnik, continue to the Montenegrin border to the magnificent Kotor fjord, whiz past the coastal resorts of Budva and Sveti Stefan and when you reach Petrovac, take the mountain road left towards Lake Skadar. You'll have some incredible views and the whole journey once you leave Split should not take more than 7-8 hours.
