SHOPPING IN MONTENEGRO
General
Town markets sell fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, meat and fish, as well as cheap clothing and household goods. Herceg Novi's old town is renowned for its jewellery shops and artists' galleries. Podgorica has a wide range of clothes shops and shopping centres.
Shopping hours
Mon-Fri 0900-2100, Sat 0800-1500 (many shops are open all day Sat). Grocery stores open at 0600. Shops in tourist resorts often stay open until midnight in high season.
Banking hours
Mon-Fri 0800-1900 and Sat 0800-1300.
Currency
The official currency in Montenegro is the Euro. Euro (&Euro;) = 100 cents. Notes are in denominations of &Euro;500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of &Euro;2 and 1, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 cents.
Currency exchange
Money should be exchanged through official exchange offices and banks only.
Credit & debit cards
International credit and debit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, Diners Club and Maestro are accepted, but cash may be necessary for some payments. Some ATMS accept Visa or Mastercard, but few accept international debit cards.
Traveller's cheques
Although acceptable in theory, in practice these can be very hard to exchange. It is advisable to take cash and credit or debit cards.
Currency restrictions
All visitors must complete the customs currency declaration form upon arrival and declare (including traveller's cheques) money in excess of &Euro;2000. Any currency not declared on the form can be confiscated when leaving the country. |
