The problem
Balkan trips often look simple on a map. Border terms, mountain roads, parking, transport connections and the wrong choice of base can turn a short distance into a poor plan.
Why this exists
Travel planning built
around decisions.
Plan The Balkans is an independent travel-planning website for travellers who want to understand the route before they book the pieces around it.

The approach
We structure facts, separate editorial judgment from verified information, and make uncertainty visible. The aim is to help you make a travel decision, not simply keep you reading.
The focus
Current coverage concentrates on Albania and the practical connection into Montenegro. Coverage expands only when the underlying information is strong enough to source and maintain responsibly.
Corrections and feedback
Every page that publishes a verified fact shows its sources and checked date. If a detail looks wrong or unclear, use the anonymous page-feedback box on that page and name the exact claim; source links are welcome. Reports are reviewed before verified facts change.
Editorial responsibility
Plan The Balkans is maintained as an independent editorial planning project. We publish a page only when the underlying route, operator, authority or destination information can be sourced and the limits of the evidence can be stated clearly. Inferred or unverified details are not presented as confirmed facts.
Commercial separation
Some booking links are affiliate links. Affiliate relationships are disclosed where they appear and are not used as evidence for border rules, schedules, insurance requirements or operator policies. Those claims rely on the source list shown on the relevant page.
