What does Montenegro cost?
Montenegro uses the Euro — even though it is not an EU member. This makes price comparisons particularly easy for German travelers. Overall, the price level is 30–50% below that of Germany, with tourist hotspots (Kotor, Sveti Stefan, Budva) being more expensive than the hinterland.
