Tivat Submarine — Attraction in Tivat

The submarine from the former Yugoslav Navy is the main attraction at the Maritime Heritage Museum in Tivat. You can even visit it separately from the museum. The ticket costs 5 EUR. They let you in only with a guide once every hour, or if enough people gather. I totally recommend it because you really get a feel for the cramped life of submariners. It’s impossible to imagine how 18 sailors served underwater, in isolation. Six were on duty, six were sleeping, and the other six were resting (but where? There are no lounges!). The captain’s tiny cabin leaves an impression – it’s actually smaller than a simple toilet! The guide explains everything, although he’s not a marine expert, it’s still interesting. The tour lasts only 10-15 minutes, so keep that in mind. Afterward, you can explore a bit on your own for a few minutes. By the way, the four torpedo launchers there never fired a shot. The entire submarine, including its electric engine, was made in the former Yugoslavia. However, the diesel engines, used to charge the batteries, were made by their then-rival capitalists, at the...

What an amazing find in Tivat! While walking along the marina and admiring the luxurious yachts, I suddenly came across a submarine 🚤. Of course, I went straight over to take a look and discovered that you can actually go inside it’s a museum! The entry is just €5, and it really lets you feel how the crew lived underwater. You can even touch things for better experience. And the girl which working there answered all my questions about submarine even if it felt stupid 😅 big respect for her real profesional.

And let me tell you it was tough. Space for 28 people is not much at all. Incredible engineering, considering it was built in 1968 and was in service until 1999. The submarine could stay underwater for up to 3 weeks, dive down to 210 meters, and was operated by a crew of 28.

Highly recommended 👍 A must-visit if you’re traveling through or...

I visited the Tivat Submarine on Friday recently, despite it being marked as 'temporary closed'. It was actually open. I paid 5 euros just for the submarine for and adult and 2.5 for a child, though it was 7 for the submarine and the museum for an adult and 3.5 for the child. It was quite fun and preserved in its original form. I was let out to explore and was allowed to touch everything I wanted without supervision. Overall, it was a...
