The Property — Apartmani Šćepanović
Šćepanović is a pragmatic, no-fuss base for exploring Kolašin and the Bjelasica mountains. The lobby is small and functional, more a check-in point than a lounge, but the rooms are clean, modern and good value for a 3-star. It suits self-sufficient travellers who prioritise location and price over frills; you’re here to be outdoors, not sit in a hotel room.
Chronicles of Kolašin
Kolašin began as a small Ottoman market town in the 17th century, then was rebuilt under Austro-Hungarian rule in the late 1800s with a grid layout and sturdy alpine-style houses. After World War II it became a centre for timber and winter sports, and today its identity leans heavily on outdoor tourism—hiking, skiing and rafting on the Tara River. The town’s architecture is a mix of old stone buildings and concrete communist-era blocks, with modern holiday homes spreading up the hillsides.
Best Time to Visit
Full Kolašin guide →Best months
July–August for reliable warm weather and long daylight; September for mild temperatures and fewer tourists.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak season for summer hiking and rafting; hotel prices rise 20–30% over June/September. The Kolašin Summer Days festival (late July) brings live music and food stalls.
Budget shoulder season
June and September: still pleasant weather, lower room rates, and uncrowded trails. October can also work for autumn colours if you pack for colder nights.
Weather & packing
Even in July, Kolašin’s mountain location means chilly evenings and sudden thunderstorms are common. Pack a waterproof jacket and layers: fleece or jumper plus a shell, and sturdy walking shoes—not just sandals.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apartmani Šćepanović, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first or second floor facing the rear courtyard (away from Junaka Breze). These floors offer quieter conditions and are easily reachable by stairs if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the entrance or reception – foot traffic and lobby noise carry. Also skip any room advertised as facing the street (Junaka Breze), especially on lower floors, due to traffic noise.
Best views
The best view is from rooms on the first or second floor overlooking the courtyard – you'll see the surrounding hillside greenery rather than the main street. There is no mountain or river view from this address; Junaka Breze runs through the town centre.
Quietest floors
First and second floors facing the courtyard – these are well above street level and set back from the road.
🔊 Noise notes
Junaka Breze is a main road in Kolašin, carrying local traffic and tour buses. Morning deliveries to nearby shops can start around 7am. The lift motor may hum on all floors, but is less noticeable in rooms further from the shaft.

Podgorica bus station (shared taxi rank outside) → Kolašin town centre (drops near main square, 5-min walk to accommodation)

Top Attractions in Kolašin
💡 Bring your own snacks – the only kiosk sells overpriced crisps. The picnic tables near the stream have the best shade.
💡 No photography during services (usually 9am and 6pm). The church is locked between services – check the noticeboard for exact times.
💡 Go at golden hour for the best light on the canyon walls. The path is steep and muddy after rain – wear proper shoes.
💡 Pick up the map at the tourist office on Trg Borisa Kidriča – the route is roughly 45 minutes and includes 12 numbered points. No pavement on the last section near the railway crossing.
💡 Buy a bag of roasted chestnuts from the man at the bottom of the tower (€1, available October–March). The café on the north side charges half the price of the one opposite the church.
💡 Go at dusk – the light on the hills is dramatic and you'll have the place mostly to yourself. No swimming, but you can paddle a cheap blow-up kayak from the sports shop on the main street.
💡 Take the early bus from Kolašin (€2, departs 7am) to avoid tourist vans. The monks sell honey and handmade incense at a small stall. Dress modestly: shoulders and knees covered.
💡 The German-language audio guide is better than the English one – it has more detail. Ask the curator to point out the Ottoman-period silver belt, it's their best piece and easy to miss in the corner cabinet.
