Is it better to do Tirana to Belgrade and save Montenegro when stationed in Dubrovnik? Need helpppp!
Besides Tirana, anything worth seeing in Albania?
From a quick google search it does not look like there is a train from Skopje to Beograd right now. Train rid from Montenegro (Bar or Podgorica) to Belgrade is at least 8 hours. As someone said in the thread, there is not train from Sarajevo or anywhere else to Dubrovnik.
Yes, I would explore Montenegro when stationed in Dubrovnik.
If you must go to Tirana, then I would fly from there to Beograd, then train (slow) or fly to Zagreb or Split (even slower train, with a stop in Zagreb). There I would rent a car and explore Croatia and drive down to your destination of Dubrovnik.
Trains in Ex Yugoslavia are very slow, often late and unreliable.
