These guidelines are for reference only. Scenset holds no responsibility for travel restrictions. Travelers are responsible for ensuring the right documentation to travel.
Plugs: In Croatia & Montenegro, the standard plug type is Type F, which has two round pins and an additional grounding pin in the middle. Type C plugs, which have two round pins without the grounding pin, are also commonly used. An adapter will be needed to plug devices into the outlets.
Voltage: The electrical voltage is 230 volts, and the frequency is 50 Hz. In the US, the voltage is 120 volts, and the frequency is 60 Hz. Therefore, using electrical appliances from the US in Croatia and/or Montenegro will require a converter or adapter to match the voltage and frequency. It's important to note that not all converters are the same, and a suitable one must be chosen for the specific appliances being used.
Restaurants, Bars & Cafés: In Croatia & Montenegro, it's customary to leave a tip in restaurants, cafes, and bars. The standard amount to tip is 5-10% of the total bill, depending on the level of service you received. Tipping is voluntary, and you should only tip if you feel that the service was good. Some restaurants may include a service charge in the bill, so be sure to check before leaving an additional tip.
Guides & Drivers: For a half-day tour, a good guideline is to tip around €10-€20 per person, and for a full-day tour, €20-€30 per person. For drivers, you can tip around €10-€20 per day. Tipping is a way of showing appreciation for good service, and it's always up to your discretion.
We have designed some great playlists for you to enjoy during your trip through Croatia & Montenegro!
Game of Thrones helped to put Croatia on the tourist map, but savvy travelers have been visiting this Balkan gem for years. A city's museums and restaurants rival those in Paris or London, but the underlying spirit of the old city is a refreshing change from its Western European neighbors. Outside of the city, Croatia is one of the most biodiverse countries in Europe. Take your pick from limestone caverns, technicolor lakes, and the paradisal Adriatic islands.

Why we love it for you: A certain hotel is just a 20-minute walk into the city’s Old Town, but shuttling in on the hotel’s Riva motorboat has a dolce vita glamour to it—and the glamour doesn’t end there. The entire property exudes an effortless luxury, from the teak wood furniture to the indulgent dining menu, but the real magic comes from the sparkling views of the Adriatic. Every room comes with a sea view terrace, leaving the constant impression of waking up in a photograph.

Famed for its sheer beauty, glorious history of a one-time republic, and majestic ramparts, Dubrovnik righteously bears the title of “Pearl of the Adriatic”. The city center is filled with famous landmarks, so it's more like a giant open-air museum instead of a city (it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
You'll make stops at Europe's oldest pharmacy hidden behind a monastery, a palace honoring the mighty dukes of Dubrovnik, and of course the medieval city walls, some of the best preserved in all of Europe. And no tour of Dubrovnik would be complete without some handpicked stops at iconic filming locations from the show Game of Thrones.

Slightly smaller than Connecticut, Montenegro is living proof that great things do come in small packages. Hidden coves and paradisical beaches line the coast from top to bottom, made even more picturesque by the backdrop of limestone mountains. Alpine and lakeside villages are just as quaint today as they were 200 years ago, made all the more charming by the locals and their knack for welcoming visitors with open arms and endless food.
Your private English-speaking driver will greet you at the lobby of your hotel to transport you in a luxury vehicle to the next trip destination, Montenegro.
The transfer is just over an hour of driving time, but we'll break it up with a worthwhile pitstop for an authentic taste of Croatia.
Pickup time: Morning
Meeting location: Hotel lobby

On your way down to Montenegro, make a pit stop to experience a different side of Croatia. Away from the tourism and grandeur of Dubrovnik, you'll get to really sink into Croatian traditions of the Konavle Valley through food.
You'll stop at a family farm in a gorgeous setting and join your hosts to source ingredients right from the farm to prepare a typical dish: Peka. The word peka comes from peći, which means to roast or bake. Over an open wood fire you will prepare your own peka, a blend of vegetables and meat drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with herbs, and then baked to perfection under a bell-like dome.
Share this unforgettable meal with your host family at a beautiful table on the estate.
