Before traveling to Montenegro, keep a few practical points in mind.

• Money: Euro (€) is the currency. Carry cash for mountain villages and local markets.
• Driving: Mountain roads are narrow and steep. Opt for a compact car.
• Season: Best time to visit is May to October.

The weather in Montenegro changes dramatically depending on the region, making the country ideal for year-round holidays. 

• Coast (Budva, Kotor): Hot, dry summers (up to 30°C). The best beach season runs from May to September. June and September offer the best balance of sun and quiet.
• Mountains (Durmitor, Kolašin): Refreshing 20°C in summer, perfect for hiking. In winter (December–March), these areas become popular ski resorts.
• Contrast: Montenegro is unique—in late spring, you can literally ski in the mountains and swim in the sea on the same day.
