Local Pricing Context
Espresso at local cafés costs €1–1.50. Inside the Old Town, €1.50–3.00. Montenegro uses the euro despite not being EU. Domaća kafa (Turkish-style) is cheapest at €1–1.50, even in the Old Town, since tourists rarely order it. Cappuccino costs €2–3 locally, €3–5 in tourist areas. Best coffee: small bars along the Škurda River outside the north gate at €1–1.20 with fortress wall views and local clientele.
