Important Tips
- β’Montenegro uniquely uses the Euro (EUR) as its official currency despite not being in the EU or Eurozone.
- β’You must register with the local tourist office within 24 hours of arrival. Hotels do this automatically, but if you stay in an Airbnb, you must ensure your host does it or do it yourself to avoid fines at the border when leaving.
- β’Renting a car is the best way to explore the beautiful coast and mountains, but be prepared for narrow, winding roads.
- β’Tipping 10% in restaurants is customary if a service charge isn't already included.
- β’European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) are generally NOT valid in Montenegro; private travel insurance is necessary.
Easiest Way to Get It
