Essentials

City
Herceg Novi sits at the western entrance to the Bay of Kotor, at the foot of Mount Orjen, and is the seat of Herceg Novi Municipality. 2
Population
30,824 people in Herceg Novi Municipality at the 2023 census (4.94% of Montenegro). MONSTAT published the final count on 15 October 2024. A preliminary release had 31,471. Wikipedia still prints the 2011 municipal count of 30,864. 1 2
Internet Speed
m:tel Flash 1, on the home price list of 1 April 2026, is €25.90 a month on a 12-month contract, or €23.90 on 24 months, for 160 or 200 Mbps, depending on the line. Ookla's September 2026 Montenegro fixed-broadband median is 198.49 Mbps down and 67.34 Mbps up; the same page also lists 91.77 Mbps. Neither figure is Herceg Novi only. 7 8
Currency & Banking
Euro (EUR). Montenegro uses the euro without being in the euro area. ECB reference on 19 October 2026: 1 EUR = 1.1225 USD, so 1 USD is about €0.89. 4 5

Tap water is generally drinkable. In some small towns, bottled water may be preferable. 4
Power
230 V, 50 Hz, Type C and F (Europlug and Schuko). 4
