What to Know

Currency and ATMs

Montenegro’s official currency is the euro, and ATMs are accessible nationwide. It’s important to note that many ATMs in Montenegro may charge fees. For a better exchange rate, use your own bank’s conversion rate. We recommend using Ziraat Bankasi, which does not charge foreign ATM withdrawal fees.

Despite the rugged terrain, don’t be surprised if friendly locals offer you a lift unexpectedly; it happened to us! That’s how easy hitchhiking in Montenegro can be.

EU citizens can enter Montenegro with a valid ID card and stay up to 30 days. Depending on nationality and purpose of travel, visa requirements for Montenegro align with the Montenegro visa policy. The duration of stay is another crucial factor in determining the appropriate visa category for travellers.
