Winter equipment is mandatory in the north from 15 November to 31 March. Check conditions before mountain trips, and take canyon roads slowly — they are narrow and winding.
Organised beaches use a flag system — swim only when the flags allow it. Take care near river mouths, where currents can be stronger than they look.
Pharmacies meet EU standards and are easy to find. Tap water is safe to drink in most areas, and power sockets are 220 V, type C/F.
For current warnings, follow official channels — the Government of Montenegro and the national meteorology service publish up-to-date alerts.
