Travel tips
- Montenegro uses the euro, although it is not in the EU.
- Kotor’s old town is packed when cruise ships are in port; go early or late in the day.
- Mountain roads are narrow and winding; allow more time than maps suggest.
- Carry some cash for smaller cafés, guesthouses and beach loungers.
- Visitors must be registered with the authorities; hotels do it, but if you stay privately check that your host has.
