The choice of magnets in Montenegro is huge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Gifts and souvenirs from Montenegro: general points<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve read other articles on this topic, they often mention shopping and affordable Italian brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, what does that have to do with Montenegro? A leather belt can be bought in Turkey, Albania, Montenegro, or Italy, and it will likely come from the same factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, I often hear that shopping here is incredibly cheap. Yes, it might be cheaper than in some other countries, but that\u2019s not unique to Montenegro. Prices are also lower in Poland, and Turkey, for example. Montenegro is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Good to know<\/p>\nMontenegro\u2019s proximity to Italy and Europe in general, along with low import duties, makes shopping here quite affordable. You’ll find many European brands and outlet stores. While you won\u2019t find the latest collections\u2014that\u2019s what Milan is for\u2014there is a decent selection, and prices are generally reasonable.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But this article focuses specifically on gifts and souvenirs that are associated with Montenegro\u2014things that will remind you of this country and that you can bring back as presents rather than just for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Souvenirs from Montenegro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To be honest, Montenegro doesn\u2019t have many unique souvenirs that are exclusively tied to the country. There\u2019s no signature item that immediately screams, “This is definitely from Montenegro!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most Montenegrin souvenirs are mass-market products. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll find in tourist shops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Magnets<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Plates, keychains, bells, and similar trinkets<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- T-shirts with “Montenegro” prints<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac5<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Scarves, tote bags, and accessories<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
There are also souvenirs featuring national symbols and items designed to look handmade, but most of them are factory-produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Traditional clothing<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Gusle (a traditional stringed instrument)<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac7<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Montenegrin caps<\/strong> \u2013 probably the most authentic national gift, costing around \u20ac10\u201315<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"gifts](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/gift-1.jpg\")
The Montenegrin cap is a distinctive traditional headwear<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n - \n
- Wooden and wicker handicrafts<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac5<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Textiles with national symbols<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Religious items<\/strong> \u2013 such as chalices, candlesticks, crosses, and even icons. Read more about re<\/strong><\/a>l<\/strong><\/a>igion in Montenegro<\/strong><\/a> at the link.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s about it when it comes to Montenegrin souvenirs. While there are plenty of souvenir shops packed with items, truly unique products are rare. In the end, you\u2019ll likely find yourself choosing from a sea of fridge magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food, on the other hand, is a completely different story. Culinary souvenirs are often much more appreciated than a simple fridge magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Food gifts from Montenegro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Montenegro is a paradise for food lovers. The cuisine is delicious, portions are generous, and ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. Best of all, many of these treats can be taken home. Here\u2019s what to look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Prosciutto (Pr\u0161ut, the Balkan version of Spanish jam\u00f3n)<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac12\/kg\n
- \n
- In the village of Njegu\u0161i<\/strong>, located on the slopes of Mount Lov\u0107en, every household sells homemade pr\u0161ut. It\u2019s incredibly flavorful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cheese (made from cow, goat, or sheep milk)<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac7\/kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Olives<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac5\/kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac7 per 0.7L<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mountain honey<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac7 per 250g jar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ajvar<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac3 per 500g jar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
Ajvar is a traditional spread made from roasted red bell peppers. It\u2019s available in every store, produced by various brands.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\u26a0 Be careful:<\/strong> If you see “Ljuti ajvar” on the label, it means it\u2019s spicy! If you prefer a milder taste, go for the regular ajvar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"souvenirs](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/gift-2.jpg\")
The choice of ajvars in any store is huge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Most of these food products are vacuum-sealed, so they\u2019ll easily survive the journey home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Good to know:<\/p>\nPeople often ask about Montenegrin cosmetics. The truth is, Montenegro doesn\u2019t have its own cosmetics industry. With a population of just 600,000, the country imports nearly all cosmetics from Italy or Serbia. This means prices can be even higher than at home. For example, it\u2019s nearly impossible to find sunscreen here for less than \u20ac15, so it’s best to bring it with you.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Alcoholic Souvenirs from Montenegro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now, when it comes to alcohol, Montenegro is a fantastic place for gifts. Every household makes its own rakija and wine, yet you won\u2019t see drunken locals\u2014only the occasional tipsy tourist. Montenegrins know how to drink in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what alcoholic souvenirs should you bring back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Rakija (homemade fruit brandy, similar to moonshine)<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Made from grapes, pears, apples, raspberries, blackberries, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prices start at \u20ac8 per 0.5L<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Wine<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Montenegro\u2019s most famous wines are Vranac<\/strong> and Krstac<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Vranac<\/strong> \u2013 a dry red wine made from local grapes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Krstac<\/strong> \u2013 a dry white wine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Prices start at \u20ac3 per bottle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"what](\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/montenegro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/gift-3.jpg\")
Basic Vranac is affordable, while the premium “Vranac Pro Corde” is pricier and considered higher-end.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n - \n
- Gorki List<\/strong> \u2013 a 40% herbal liqueur<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pelinkovac<\/strong> \u2013 another herbal liqueur, similar to J\u00e4germeister but stronger<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Beer<\/strong> \u2013 from \u20ac0.5 per 0.5L<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Montenegro has only one major brewery: Nik\u0161i\u0107ko<\/strong>. It produces a standard European lager. If you\u2019re looking for craft beer, wheat beer, or radlers, you\u2019ll have to buy imported brands, which cost around \u20ac1 per 0.33L.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: What to Bring Back from Montenegro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Choosing gifts and souvenirs from Montenegro is fairly straightforward. The country doesn\u2019t have a huge variety of unique souvenirs, so you\u2019ll be picking from what\u2019s available. The most popular gifts to bring home are Montenegrin pr\u0161ut, olive oil, and local alcohol<\/strong>\u2014items that truly capture the essence of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
gro are not very diverse. But most often, guests of the country bring home Montenegrin prsut, olive oil and local alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
