Location and tourism

Kolašin is one of the centres of Montenegro's mountain tourism. Although Žabljak is considered a more attractive destination, Kolašin has the advantage of being easily accessible by road and railroad. Kolašin is located on the foot of the Bjelasica and Sinjajevina mountains, which offer great conditions for skiing. Because of Kolašin's altitude (954 m), the town is considered an aerial spa. Biogradska Gora national park is in the town's vicinity, and is considered a premium tourist attraction. The development of Kolašin as a tourist destination is bolstered by the opening of the Bianca Resort & Spa, a luxury resort in the town's center. Kolašin is connected with the rest of Montenegro by two-lane motorways. It is situated on the main road connecting Montenegro's coast and Podgorica with northern Montenegro and Serbia (E65, E80). Kolašin is also a station on the Belgrade–Bar railway. Podgorica Airport is 80 km (50 mi) away, and has regular flights to major European destinations.
