How Montenegro works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Montenegro, Herceg Novi leads at 71/100 — cost 54, climate 100, safety 66; warmest-month highs around 23.7°C and coldest-month lows near 7.1°C give you a feel for the seasons. Kotor is the pure-budget play at cost 57/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Montenegro before booking anything long-term.
