Travel Tips

The best time to visit is from May to September for warm weather. Pack light clothing for summer and a jacket for cooler evenings. Respect local customs, such as greeting with a handshake and dressing modestly when visiting religious sites. Podgorica is safe, but keep an eye on belongings in crowded areas. Euros are used, and credit cards are accepted in many places, but carrying some cash is advisable. Learning a few basic Montenegrin phrases can enhance interactions.
