Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Unbooked taxis at the airport and main bus station quote fixed high fares: order a car in an app or by phone and check the plate. (Scams)
- Street exchangers offer rates that look good and hand back short or old notes: use a bank or licensed office. (Scams)
- Restaurants near the fortress and Skadarlija may add a cover charge or use a menu without prices: ask before you order. (Scams)
