The Property — Apartments Luna
Apartments Luna sits on a quiet residential street a ten-minute walk from Bar's long pebble beach. The lobby is compact and tiled, with a small reception desk and a couple of armchairs; the vibe is practical and unfussy, aimed at independent travellers who want a clean, self-catering base rather than resort trimmings. The USP is value: each apartment has a kitchenette and private balcony, and the owners are hands-on and helpful. Best for couples or solo travellers who plan to explore the coast and don't need a pool or restaurant on site.
Chronicles of Bar
Bar dates back to Illyrian times, but its core was reshaped by the Venetians, who fortified Stari Bar on a hill inland. The old town was largely destroyed in the 1979 earthquake, leaving atmospheric ruins and a restored clock tower. After WWII, the port expanded and the modern town grew along the coast, its grid of concrete apartment blocks a contrast to the Ottoman-era stone of the old settlement. Today Bar is a working port and transport hub, with a relaxed, unpretentious feel. Its cultural identity blends Montenegrin, Albanian and Italian influences, visible in the local cuisine and laid-back seaside cafés.
Best Time to Visit
Full Bar guide →Best months
May, June and September offer warm, sunny days (high 20s °C) with manageable crowds. The sea is swimmable from June onward, and accommodation rates are lower than in July and August.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, with temperatures regularly hitting 35°C and beaches packed. Hotel prices at Apartments Luna roughly double. The main event is the Bar Summer Festival in July, featuring open-air concerts and cultural events along the waterfront.
Budget shoulder season
April, May and October are excellent budget months: expect discounts of 30–50% on midsummer rates, temperatures of 18–25°C, and far fewer tourists. The sea may still be cool in April and October, but hiking in the mountains above Bar is pleasant.
Weather & packing
Bar's climate is Mediterranean, but summer afternoons can bring sudden thunderstorms, especially in July. Pack a light rain jacket or umbrella even in high summer, and always bring sturdy sandals for the pebble beach.
Live City Briefing — Bar
- The Bar–Belgrade railway line, a scenic route through the mountains, is currently operating with reduced service due to track repairs; check timetables in advance if you plan to travel by train.
- A new pedestrian promenade along the main beach was completed in late 2025, connecting the town centre to the port area, with new cafés and shaded seating.
- Summer 2026 sees the reopening of the old town's restored Ottoman hammam as a small cultural centre, hosting exhibitions and evening concerts from mid-July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apartments Luna, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the rear courtyard. These upper floors minimise street noise from Jugoslovenska and offer the quietest sleep. The 4th floor also tends to be the last floor that the lift reliably reaches (older lifts often stop at 4), so you avoid stairs with luggage.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any room on the 1st or 2nd floor facing the street. Jugoslovenska sees regular traffic and delivery vans, and lower floors get the brunt of noise, plus headlights sweeping in at night. Ground-floor rooms are also close to the main entrance and any foot traffic from reception.
Best views
The rear of the building looks over the old town rooftops and possibly the marina in the distance. Front-facing rooms on upper floors (4th or 5th) get a partial view of the sea and the old town, but with traffic noise trade-off. The side views are mostly neighbouring apartment blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest, set back from street level and likely above any ground-floor bar or cafe noise. The building looks to be 5 storeys max (typical for a 3-star in this part of Bar), so top floors are best.
🔊 Noise notes
Jugoslovenska is a main road running along the coast side of Bar. You'll hear scooters, buses, and late-night revellers especially on weekends. The building's entrance is right on the pavement, so no buffer. There may be a small cafe or minimarket on the ground floor adding morning noise.
Insider tips
1) Check-in is often at a small reception desk—ring the bell if no one's there. 2) Parking is scarce on Jugoslovenska; ask at booking if they have a reserved spot or a nearby garage. If not, consider parking at the large lot near the port, a 5-minute walk away.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
