Montenegro is a safe country with low crime rates. However, follow standard precautions: don't leave belongings unattended and be vigilant in crowded places.

The official language is Montenegrin (very similar to Serbian). Many locals understand Russian. English is widely spoken in tourist areas.

Cities and the coast have reliable 4G/5G. The easiest option is to activate an eSIM in advance; you can also buy a local SIM at the airport or in phone shops. For maps and rides right after landing, eSIM is the fastest choice.

There are two airports: Tivat (closest to Budva and Kotor) and Podgorica. Direct intercity buses don't depart from terminals: go to the nearest bus station first, then continue by coach. The most convenient options are a pre-booked transfer or a rental car.
