Safety and Security

Montenegro is calm and peaceful. You can walk around safely, even at night. Still, follow basic safety rules:

  • Keep money and documents in the hotel safe (some hotels only have a central safe room).
  • Stay alert in crowded places.

Emergency numbers:

  • Fire: 112
  • Police: 112
  • Ambulance: 124

Public Transportation

Public transport is limited. Buses are available but slow. Most tourists prefer renting a car.

You can order taxis using the Viber app. In Podgorica, use the Tesla app.

Always agree on the price in advance or use a meter (about €1 per km).

Phones and Communication

  • Hotel phones are expensive. Use local SIM cards or Wi-Fi.
  • Buy SIM cards at kiosks or airports. Example: m:tel – 500GB for 15 days at €15.
  • To call Israel: dial 00-972 followed by the area code (without the zero).
  • Montenegro’s country code: 382
  • Without a roaming plan, even incoming calls may cost a lot.
