Destinations in Montenegro
Practical essentials for Montenegro
Euro (EUR) — adopted unilaterally in 2002; Montenegro is not in the eurozone
Montenegrin, with Serbian, Bosnian, Albanian and Croatian also in official use; English is common along the coast
Type C/F, 230V 50Hz
There is no integrated travel card — intercity coaches link the coast with the interior, taxis cover the rest (use the meter or agree the fare), and Kotor and the bay are best walked or crossed by boat.
Around 10% in restaurants unless a service charge is already on the bill, and round up taxi fares.
Municipal tap water is treated and generally safe, though it is heavily chlorinated in summer and many visitors prefer bottled.
Right-hand side; carry an International Driving Permit with your national licence, and keep headlights on day and night.
