Tips for Coffee in Kotor
- 1Use EUR 1.5 as your walk-away number. Anything quoted above EUR 2 for coffee in Kotor is visitor pricing, not a seasonal or quality difference.
- 2Check the posted menu before sitting down. In Kotor, places without prices displayed outside sit at the EUR 2–3 end far more often than places that show them.
- 3Walking two or three streets back from the main square usually returns you to the EUR 1–1.5 range for the same coffee.
- 4If you are watching your spending in Kotor, rakija deserves more attention than this — it carries the widest visitor markup of anything we price in the city.
- 5If a price is quoted in your home currency rather than EUR, treat it as a visitor price by default.
