What money to take to Montenegro. Information about Montenegro - Tips for tourists before the trip. Take a trip with or without meals
To obtain a Schengen visa, as is known, the list of required documents includes an insurance policy for those traveling abroad.
When traveling to other countries where a visa is not required, taking out an insurance policy for the safety of you and your family members will also not be amiss, especially if you are traveling with children.
The best way to get to know a new city is through guided tours from local residents. To do this, many travelers use services such as Sputnik8.
Over the course of several years, we have visited many countries and cities in Europe and are not going to stop there!
1. Prague (Czech Republic)
We visited here for the first time during the New Year holidays in 2015. We visited again in the summer of 2016. The city fell into our souls so much that we are planning another trip in the near future :)
The main advantages of Prague are, firstly, accessibility (from Moscow and St. Petersburg there are daily flights for 6-7 thousand rubles) and budget (prices correspond to Russian ones, and for some categories the costs are even lower). Secondly, in addition to the huge number of attractions of Prague itself, there is also a lot of interesting things in its surroundings and neighboring cities.

2. Montenegro
We discovered this country in May 2014, when it was just gaining popularity among our compatriots. Since then, we have visited it several times, both at the height of summer and during the velvet season. Last visit - July 2017. We traveled the entire coast of the country, from Herceg Novi to Ulcinj, in different companies (with friends or with children) and without undue modesty we can assure you that we have penetrated into almost all aspects of the holiday here :)

3. Budapest (Hungary)
In February 2016 we decided to visit Budapest and were very pleased. We went to the capital of Hungary again in January 2017.

4. Rome (Italy)
We were in Rome twice and only briefly, so we have very little material on this topic, but we can still tell you about the main nuances of the trip. In addition to Rome, we also spent several days in Venice.
5. Croatia
We have been to Croatia, as well as Montenegro, more than once. We stopped three times at the main resort of the country - Dubrovnik, spent several days in Split and took a short trip along the coast. Are you ready to answer the burning question: Where is it better to relax - Montenegro or Croatia?
6. Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain)
In the summer of 2016 we went to Spain and spent several days in the wonderful city of Barcelona. After that we went to the Catalan coast, the small town of Calella, where we arranged a week-long resort holiday :)

8. Amsterdam (Netherlands)
In the summer of 2017 we went to Amsterdam. This city left us with an unforgettable impression and became one of our favorites that we visited. As an experiment, we decided to create a separate guide site for Amsterdam.
9. Paris (France)
After Amsterdam, Paris awaited us, which left us with rather contradictory impressions. Currently, work is underway on a guide to the capital of France, information will be updated gradually.
10. Porto (Portugal)
In February 2017, we visited Porto. The city became a real discovery for us. In the near future we are planning to visit Lisbon and create a guide website for Portugal.
11. Helsinki (Finland)
As advocates of smart consumption, we often try to budget wisely for our travels, which is why we have repeatedly used Helsinki Airport as a starting point. During all this time, we have managed to get to know this city quite closely and we are ready to give some useful advice.
Montenegro is a small and friendly republic that attracts lovers of budget holidays. Prices in this country are quite affordable, and an eco-friendly holiday alone with nature has a beneficial effect on the body. When going on another trip or business trip abroad to this south-eastern European state, a tourist will definitely ask himself what currency is in Montenegro, what monetary units are best to take with him so that staying in this country is not problematic financially. In the case of this country, everything is quite simple. The official currency of Montenegro is the euro. Therefore, there are no problems with the preliminary purchase of banknotes in any country. You can buy currency in advance, or you can change it on the spot in Montenegro.
National currency denomination
First of all, it is worth noting that the currency of Montenegro implies exchange denominations. One euro is equal to 100 euro cents. There are coins in circulation from one to one hundred units, that is, eurocents. In circulation in the country itself there are various banknotes, from five euros to fifty.
A little history
On the territory of the state in question, modern national money appeared quite recently; before that, the Austro-Hungarian krone, French franc, and Turkish lira were in circulation.
Before the introduction of the euro, Montenegro had its own official currency - the Yugoslav dinar.
And in January 2002, the euro took this position. Due to the fact that Montenegro is not part of the European Union, the country's authorities do not have the ability to independently print banknotes. It is for this reason that residents of the country make do with banknotes coming into the country from other states that have the right to issue this monetary unit. It is worth noting: the currency of Montenegro (most of it) enters the country thanks to tourists who come on vacation.
Montenegro: currency, exchange rate, exchange points
In the country, financial branches of various banks, as well as licensed special exchange offices, operate to conduct exchange operations. Also, arriving tourists can exchange money at hotels, airports or large shopping centers. But it is worth considering that the euro exchange rate in Montenegro in such places is not very profitable for the client. For example, today 1 euro costs 75 rubles, and taking into account the commission, its cost can increase by more than 10%.
In major tourist centers of Montenegro, special machines are installed that have a currency exchange function.
Like every country, Montenegro has its own black exchange market. But all transactions that are carried out with currency outside of authorized and licensed institutions are perceived as a violation of the law and are punished administratively. In addition, you can always become a victim of scammers and receive counterfeits instead of real euros.
Bank branches in most cases are open from 8.00 to 19.00, from Monday to Thursday, and on Friday the working hours are slightly shorter - from 8.00 to 13.00. Weekends for such institutions are Saturday and Sunday. In Montenegro, such issues are also resolved by the People's Bank, but it is better to contact them on weekdays before 13.00. Due to the climate of this area, in many organizations and companies in Montenegro, lunch lasts quite a long time - from 13.00 to 16.00. It is worth remembering this feature, and also carefully reading the instructions for tourists, which indicate this lunch break time.
The most profitable option is to go to the country with the currency purchased at home. When shopping in markets and small shops, a tourist must have some change in currency, otherwise there may not be any change.
The price level is significantly lower than in neighboring Western European countries. Of course, not throughout the entire territory. For example, in coastal areas, vacations are much more expensive.
Plastic cards
In the country it is possible to use plastic cards for payment. True, not all types. For the most part, banks and ATMs in Montenegro work with MasterCard, Maestro, Diners Club, and Visa cards. It should be noted that you shouldn’t rely too much on cards in the provinces of the country. In large supermarkets, shopping centers, and hotels you can pay by card, but you should first check with your bank branch whether a commission will be charged for such foreign transactions. In any case, it is better to always have small denomination cash with you.
When is a declaration required?
The tourism industry has become the most profitable for Montenegro. The country's economy lives on funds imported by visitors, so the country does not have restrictions on the import of euros into its territory. Tourists know what currency is in Montenegro, and no matter how much money is brought into the country, they do not need to fill out a declaration. But you are allowed to export no more than 500 euros outside the state. Therefore, if you have a sufficient amount of money with you upon entry, it is better to fill out a declaration for it so that no questions arise when returning home.
The official currency in Montenegro is the euro. Yes, yes, don't be surprised. So, it turns out, it happens: the country is not a member of the European Union, but only euros are entered into the territory. This situation has arisen due to the difficult past of this country and the countries of the Balkan Peninsula in general. Montenegro at one time chose to link the national currency to the German Deutsche Marks, and then, when Germany switched to the euro, Montenegro had nothing left to do and the residents of the country also switched to the European currency. But Montenegro does not have the right to issue its own euros, so it is content with the influx of euro currency from foreign investment and tourism. But here you can get euros from any Eurozone country as change; coin collectors are especially happy about this fact.
As is already clear, you need to go to Montenegro with euros, and it’s better to worry about buying them at home. I didn’t do this and as a result I lost a lot on the course, but more on that later.
Cash
All prices in shops, public transport, gas stations, hotels, cafes and restaurants are indicated in euros. But a huge plus of Montenegro is that, compared to neighboring countries, it is relatively cheap here and even taking into account the high euro exchange rate in our country, prices for everything in terms of rubles are moderate.
Out of ignorance, stupidity, whatever you want to call it, I ended up in Montenegro with US dollars. I had very few euros: just enough to pay for one night in a hotel and a modest dinner. A particular difficulty was that my arrival fell on Saturday evening and all the banks were already closed. It was necessary to survive until Monday and on Sunday I was concerned about exchanging US dollars for euros.
After asking the locals, I learned interesting information that on weekends you can only exchange money at... the post office.
Fortunately, their offices are scattered throughout the country and work every day. But severe disappointment awaited me: the exchange rate turned out to be simply extortionate. In addition, an even larger commission is charged. The girl at the post office asked me several times if I agreed with the amount that I would receive as a result, there is nothing to do, of course, I agree.
When I reached Monday, I was able to exchange US dollars at the bank at the official rate. To exchange, you must provide a passport. Banks are open every day except Sunday from 8 am to 7 pm, and on Saturdays until 1 pm. I haven’t lived in resort areas, but friends told me that in popular tourist places, some bank branches are open on Sunday. The exchange rate in different banks sometimes fluctuates greatly, so don’t be lazy, go around several in search of the most profitable one.
But with rubles there would be a complete ambush. During my entire trip to Montenegro, I did not see a single place where I could exchange rubles. The only option, most likely, is our compatriots who are leaving home. Perhaps someone will agree to exchange euros for rubles at the official rate.
So keep in mind, if you go to the resorts of Montenegro and take cash, then only euros, otherwise you will constantly lose on the exchange rate.
Bank cards
Montenegro is a civilized country and here you can pay with a bank card or withdraw cash. As always, remember: Europe is Mastercard; and America - Visa. If anyone doesn’t know, the principle is simple: if you have a ruble Visa card, then rubles are first converted into dollars, and then into euros; and if the card is a ruble Mastercard, then rubles are directly converted into euros.
Unlike Asian countries, where it is vital to notify the bank about your trip due to the high risk of fraud in these countries, Montenegro is absolutely safe.
But, as usual, there is one “but”: Montenegrins love cash. As I already wrote, they do not have the right to issue euros and tourists are one of the main sources of euro cash. If you see a card payment terminal somewhere, don’t be fooled, it may not work. In addition, for some reason, the amount debited from the card is not used as payment for the goods, but as cash withdrawal, with a commission and at an extortionate rate. But I already found out this at home when I was able to get a printout of card transactions. Be careful!
In general, a holiday in Montenegro can cost a pretty penny or be very inexpensive. Remember the most important rule for this country: only euros and cash is better and then you will avoid all sorts of commissions and “hits” on the course. Have a nice holiday!
Every new tourist is interested in whether there is a visa to Montenegro, whether the country is safe, whether a holiday here is expensive or cheap, whether prices in supermarkets differ from yours, whether English and Russian are understood here. The most important thing before any trip is to study the characteristics of the country, the mentality of the people, gastronomic preferences, climatic conditions and local traditions. If Montenegro did not live up to your expectations, then you were not information savvy 😉
Visa to Montenegro in 2018
Residents of Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan A visa is not required for Montenegro. That is, all you need is a valid passport! Ukrainians have the right to enter for 90 days, then they must leave the country for 90 days. They cannot be visited every month, but they can live for 3 months in a row... Russians have the right to rest for 90 days only during the tourist season. In 2018, it is introduced for the period from April 15 to October 31, that is, you can rest for no more than 3 months during this period, you do not need to go to visaran! If you want to live in Montenegro for six months to a year, then put a stamp every 30 days on any border about exit and entry, register at the tourist office and live happily! This right is given only to holders of Russian passports!
Citizens of Belarus They can fly to Montenegro without a visa, but with a voucher (from a travel agency) or with an invitation from a private person, officially certified. Belarusians can also enter the territory of Montenegro with a valid Schengen visa, US or UK visa.
Citizens of Kazakhstan get visa-free entry to Montenegro only for a season, in 2018 they have already announced the abolition of visas from April 1. 
Registration of tourists in Montenegro (white cardboard)
Every foreign citizen must be registered at a tourist information point or electronically (done in hotels). A tourist in Montenegro needs to pay a boravishnu tax, this is a tax for accommodation - 1 euro per day, free - children under 12 years old and disabled people, teenagers from 12 to 18 years old - 50%. Previously, they gave out white cardboard with the dates of arrival and departure, and paid at the Post Office. Now everything is done electronically, the owner of the villa or at the reception must do this within 24 hours of arrival.
If you rent an apartment without travel agencies and the owners are not going to pay tax, ask them for their full name and address, and go to the tourist office yourself on the first day. If you are the owner of your own home in Montenegro, you and your family members do not pay tourist taxes, but you are also required to register when crossing the border. On the map in your city, look like this - Turistički informativni centar 
What are the consequences of non-payment of the tour. tax? At airports, it is rare that anyone checks this information on a computer, but there have been cases of a fine of 200 euros and lengthy proceedings... Most often, questions arise from border guards at the road borders, especially in front of Bosnia (Trebinje), where Russians go for visas. The border guards there, lured with money, behave like greyhounds, and will definitely check your data in the database for paying the Boravish tax. If you don’t have it, the fine is from 60 to 200 euros.
How to protect yourself from a fine when traveling in the Balkans? Be sure to check with the hotel reception whether you have been registered and tell them about your upcoming trip to Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, and Croatia. Hotels often give you a receipt for payment, or take a photo of it on your phone. If you pay the tourist tax yourself, keep the payment in your wallet. This check will also protect you if the data was entered incorrectly into the computer database (extra space, wrong letter - this has happened to me personally).
Insurance for a trip to Montenegro?
If you are not going to rent a car, try extreme sports, or are worried about the health of your children, I advise you to take care of insurance; you can buy it online at , tourists say it works great Alfa insurance— solves your insurance questions in 15 minutes, even in the Kotor hospital.
Such a widespread disease in July-August as rotavirus “mows down” almost everyone, young and old, on the city’s crowded beaches. And simply appendicitis can happen to you, only in Budva there is no surgery, you will be sent to Kotor, where services for foreigners cost 10 times higher than in other hospitals in Montenegro. I know how our people were billed there for appendicitis surgery for 5,000 - 7,000 euros, instead of 500 as in Podgorica, or 0 euros if there was insurance. Read. 
Is it safe in Montenegro
One of the few countries in Europe where you can feel completely safe. This applies to both women and children. You will be amazed that:
- The supermarket lockers don't have locks.
- many people on the beach leave personal belongings unattended and swim away to the buoys
- there are no high fences near the houses, they often don’t lock the car
- Montenegrins do not steal what is lying badly on the street
- hitchhiking in this country is a free and fairly safe service, but if you are a girl, I recommend immediately clarifying that you are married in order to protect yourself from a long dialogue about what you are beautiful and let's go for coffee.
- at night you can not be afraid to walk around the city, although crowds of men will get in your way, they will not offend you
Of course, there is a black sheep in a family. During the tourist season, neighbors from Balkan countries come to Montenegro to steal small things: tourist apartments on the 1st floor, bicycles, bags on the beach, etc. Don't relax completely! I will also note that in the tourism business in Montenegro, more than half of the workers are Serbs, Bosnians, Kosovars, Macedonians, and I can’t vouch for them. And don’t forget about the gypsies, they usually operate in the summer in old cities, on the embankments and on the street terraces of restaurants.
As for me, it’s dangerous in Montenegro in the wild mountains, and not in crowded places. There you are alone with a wolf, a bear, a wild boar and a poisonous snake 😄 Don’t go to the mountains alone! 
Smoking in Montenegro
One of the most slippery topics... people smoke a lot in the Balkans! Therefore, come to terms with this fact or do not fly here on vacation. Although outdoor café terraces are a lifesaver in the summer, you won’t have to sit in smoky rooms. A Montenegrin cannot imagine his morning without coffee and a cigarette. Moreover, both sexes “suffer” from this addiction, according to statistics - every third Montenegrin smokes.
Once they tried to ban smoking in cafes and restaurants at the state level, so Montenegrins stopped going to them. And for them this is the second home, or rather the first and main one. A couple of months later the authorities gave relief. Still, the treasury also needs to be replenished; the mercantile Montenegrin government does not want to lose cigarettes on the income from catering. Now restaurateurs pay a fine for smokers, agreeing in advance with this situation. Therefore, you, tourists, will have to endure and choose a non-smoking area. 
If you look closely at an old photo of a Montenegrin family, you will notice that the old people have long smoking pipes - a mandatory attribute, as well as weapons. 
You won’t believe it, but even in hospitals and maternity hospitals, doctors and nurses smoke. No, they don’t run outside to do this... they usually smoke in the kitchen or in their office. A Serbian website cited statistics - 29% of doctors and 42% of nurses smoke! I do an annual medical examination for a work visa in Montenegro, I go to the small clinic in Przno, where a gray-haired man signs for all the doctors, glancing at me -Are you healthy? - Certainly“, I answer. And he makes sweeping strokes with one hand, and smokes a cigarette with the other. Two things do not change in this clinic from year to year - the Soviet interior and Balkan habits 😉 
With children at sea in Montenegro
There is a cult of children in Montenegro; they are loved here and will never be offended. And since Russian children sometimes have blond hair and blue eyes, for Montenegrins this is a doll! They will squeeze you in the store while you pay at the checkout, pay attention to you on the beach and in restaurants, and let you skip the line. Montenegrin dads are very caring and often go for walks with their children.
In Montenegro there is no developed service for families with children, as in Turkey. If you are looking for hotels in Montenegro, where everything is inclusive, you will find a dozen options... Look at hotels in Becici, they have their own territory, swimming pools, animators somewhere, good food and a good small-pebble beach with a smooth entrance. In the photo - the 5-star Splendid Hotel, good because it is open all year round and has an excellent SPA. There is a 4-star Iberostar hotel nearby; mothers and children praised it to me. In Budva, I advise you to pay attention to the luxury apartments Lux Sunrior, since during the season, guests can relax by the pool and have breakfast there on the roof of the Tre Canne building overlooking the sea.
Ready-made tours to Montenegro
Ready-made tours to hotels in Budva and Becici, where all-inclusive, buy at Lavel.Travel. For example, for good hotels with their own beach, food and swimming pool for 8 nights for 2 people in June, prices start from 85 thousand rubles. 
Many cafes on the embankment of Budva, Becici, Bar have playgrounds for parents to relax and gossip with friends, and for children to play. In the summer, attractions, a trampoline will be installed in Budva, and a children's submarine will operate for walking on the sea and exploring its inhabitants. Also, at some cafes there are game girls (gamelands), check their addresses at your place of residence. There are children's clubs, kindergartens with hourly fees, there are a lot of festivals and carnivals, the main thing is to be aware 
And even if the service in Montenegro does not reach the standards you are used to, it is safe, there is a pleasant climate, a clean sea, good ecology and an understandable language. A child can find holiday friends on the beach or in the sandbox in a couple of minutes.
What kind of money is in Montenegro
In Montenegro, there is exactly one currency - the euro! But the country is not part of the European Union, yes, this happens, for example, even on the territory of the Muslim part of Kosovo. Montenegro does not have its own currency, and before the euro there was the German mark (they abandoned it in 2002), and before that there was the Yugoslav dinar, which was “eaten” by inflation and the Yugoslav war.
The only period when Montenegro printed its own money was from 1906 to 1916, these were perpers and coins of the couple. The Kingdom of Montenegro gained independence at the end of the 19th century and developed as an independent state until the First World War began... There is a Money Museum in Cetinje, be sure to stop by! 
Ruble to euro exchange rate today:
Dollars are not accepted anywhere in Montenegro, it is better not to bring them. Or you will have to look for banks for exchange, but they are open until 16:00, and there are no regular exchange offices in the resorts of Montenegro! Cash rubles and hryvnia will not be useful to you here either.
Take only euros in cash, and smaller denomination bills are valued more. A Montenegrin will react badly to 200 or 500 euros if you want to pay 1 euro for ice cream 😜
Bank cards are accepted in hotels, restaurants, grocery supermarkets and boutiques. Card payments are NOT accepted in Montenegrin taxis, in markets, in remote mountainous and northern areas in shops and restaurants. In Montenegro, you can cash out euros from a ruble card at any ATM! By the way, there is a network of NLB ATMs with menus in Russian.
How much does a trip to Montenegro cost?
The price of a holiday in Montenegro consists not only of air tickets and accommodation... It also includes, from the airport, groceries in the store and trips to restaurants, medical insurance, shopping and souvenirs. Believe me, you can spend a lot of money on vacation! You can save money in the off-season, when it is already warm, there is even a warm sea: April-May and September-October. All goods and services will fall in price by 10-40%, including tickets! About food in Montenegro, restaurants and some prices.
If you decide to look for apartments in Montenegro on your own, no need to bombard me with questions - Where should we live, find a hotel. I have 2 jobs, a yacht and this guide site - I physically have no time to deal with your resettlement! There have been excellent services for a long time - Arnbnb, using this link you will receive a discount of 25 euros on your first booking. And also look at housing for any budget on.
Do you need insurance for a trip to Montenegro?
If you buy a ready-made tour, for example, in - then medical insurance is already included, as well as. But when planning your trip on your own, I advise you not to ignore insurance. Especially on vacation with children. After all, climate change, other foods and water, and possible rotavirus during the peak season affect children first of all.

Which airlines fly to Montenegro
There are 2 airports in the country - Podgorica (further from the sea) and Tivat. It’s better to choose the second one, it’s closer to the resorts, for example, it takes half an hour to get to Budva. From May to October the number of flights increases many times - charters appear. See in this widget which airline to fly from Moscow to Tivat

Montenegrins - mentality and their 10 commandments
Montenegrins are considered lazy, unhurried people, they live in the “polako” style - slowly, enjoying every moment and not rushing anywhere. Tourists coming from big cities are amazed at this life, criticize or envy! On magnets and souvenir mugs you will see the “10 commandments of Montenegrins”: 
They don’t like to work a lot; it’s better to grab a big jackpot once a month or six months than to work every day. In the largest areas of employment - tourism and construction - foreign labor (Serbs, Bosnians, Macedonians) are allowed to work, considering that this is menial and low-paid work... Many live from season to season, and in winter they suffer from boredom, lack of money and Russian tourists
Comic announcement “Montenegro working hours”:

Marry a Montenegrin
I want to warn our girls, be careful with Montenegrin men. They are beautiful, tall, captivating in an instant with their fairy tales, according to them, they are rich, super-businessmen and lovers. But in fact, after marriage you find yourself in a terribly patriarchal environment, where his word is law, for example, he can sit in cafes with friends for days, but you cannot. Montenegrin traditions are above your desires and habits. You will get up at dawn and bake bread, cook only Montenegrin high-calorie dishes, endlessly host his relatives, lend money to everyone, serve them coffee from morning to night, listen to the advice of his wise mother, get used to smoking in the apartment, carry bags of groceries yourself, work like crazy and help in every possible way with his business. And the most unpleasant thing is that 90% of Montenegrins, especially those living by the sea, cheat on their wives; every summer this list is replenished with several mistresses, or even a dozen. 
If you have arrived in Montenegro for the first time, be vigilant on the embankments and beaches, gigolos and summer renters catch their victims there every day. Under no circumstances admit that you have a business, your own apartment and a desire to move to this country. 
I will quote a Russian traveler who found himself in Montenegro at the end of the 19th century:
Since there are no carts in the whole country and only the rich have mules, all supplies are transported and brought back on the shoulders of women, who represent a true example of tolerance. In the house, women do almost all the work; Only men help them in farming, gardening and beekeeping. The Montenegrin despises crafts, although he has a great ability for them; does not engage in trade either, but provides all this to the Turks who have settled in Montenegro.
But I would like to say a few good words about the Montenegrins. The further away from tourist spots you meet them, the more sincerely they will express love and hospitality to you. There is only one reason - you are a Russian person (ex-USSR), and for this alone you will be shown respect, assistance in traveling, free treats, invitations home for coffee, and so on. A common history, financial assistance since the time of Peter I, provided to poor Montenegro almost every year, marriages in royal families, and a common Orthodox faith have done their job. 
Weather in Montenegro and water temperature
I'm tired of daily questions about the weather in Montenegro. And all because the country is mountainous, the climate in different regions changes sharply, near the sea coast there is one temperature, for example, +25 in May in Budva, while in Cetinje it is 7 degrees colder, and in Lovcen or Zabljak it can be rain, snow or be +4. Look, you can see the city for 7 days, there is an hourly forecast, I believe it only for 3 days in advance. If they promise a sunny day, add +5 degrees. 
I can’t call the Adriatic Sea warm, but rather invigorating. But in the heat of +35+40 it’s impossible not to take a swim! Water temperature in Montenegro by month:
— in May +20 +22
— in June and September +22 +24
— in July and August +24 +26
— in April and November +18
But there are rare days when northern winds bring cold currents overnight. And the sea will become +19 for the next three years; even in August such a phenomenon can occur. You must understand that Montenegro is influenced by many natural factors, the weather is unstable in the off-season, there are sandstorms and strong winds, rain and snow. I do not recommend going on excursions to the mountains of Prolektiye and Durmitor in the off-season, and do not climb mountain passes, especially on cloudy and snowy days.
From May to October the weather in Montenegro is pleasant, warm, with rare precipitation, you can swim, sunbathe and overeat. I and the Russian emigrants who have lived here for a long time love it most of all. 
Video about Montenegro
We noticed that our site is often found by people who just want to learn about and figure out how much money to take with them. Unfortunately, the information on most sites is very outdated (prices are 5-6 years old) and does not at all correspond to the realities of 2019.
If you are just interested amount to take with you, scroll to the end of the article, we have already calculated everything there (though very approximately). The article describes what it costs and how much, where it is better to spend money, and what you can safely save on.
We did not consider these expenses here, since most tourists do not.
What is the currency in Montenegro?
In Montenegro they go Euro. It is more profitable to take money with you in euros so as not to pay for conversion. But if you keep your savings in dollars, you can change them without any problems at any bank. You can read a little more about the peculiarities of the economy of Montenegro on Wikipedia or in ours.
How much money should I take for excursions?
Extreme lovers will definitely enjoy jeep safari, rafting, diving or rock climbing in. The Internet often praises the bungee, but in reality it doesn’t give much adrenaline, and is expensive (there are 2 bungees, one for 10 and the other for 20 euros). In short, excursions can be found to suit every taste and budget. At the same time, on cheap excursions you can sometimes see even more interesting things than on expensive ones.
How much does lunch cost in a restaurant in Montenegro?
From 5 to 20 euros, depending on your appetite and the luxury of the establishment. Portions are usually large and filling, especially if you are not dining in a major tourist center. We were recently sent an excellent one, in which tourists talked, among other things, about the food in restaurants.
Where to buy products and how much do they cost?
