Costs

Costs in Montenegro are higher than they should be in a country trying to attract more foreign visitors though lower than in neighbouring Croatia and still reasonable for most Western visitors. Staying in hotels will prove the biggest drain on your budget. Restaurants and public transport are relatively cheap. Below are some sample prices: cup of coffee (espresso) 70c, simple meal (such as a portion of ćevapćići and šopska salata) €5.50, main meal in restaurant (such as grilled fish, side dish, salad) €10+, bottle of local wine in supermarket €2–10, glass of local beer €1.50c, loaf of bread 50c, short bus journey (Podgorica to Virpazar) €2.50, national park entry €2.

Carrying money

Montenegro is a fairly safe country in which to travel by most standards. However, be aware that the local economy is in tatters, unemployment is high and an average local salary only about €500 per month after tax. Avoid tempting fate (or more particularly, theft) by carrying money in a money-belt and not waving expensive-looking cameras and great wads of cash around.
