Arrival and transportation from the airport to the hotel in Niksic.
Niksic is Montenegro’s second largest town with a population of 60,000. Apart from Niksic Airfield and Aeronautical club, the town is home to the country’s favourite beer. Recent investment from a Belgian company into the town’s brewery has heralded a change of fortune for the town in recent years. The town suffered badly as a result of the Balkan unrest in the 1990’s and the moth balling of a local Bauxite mine meant that it was slow to recover.
