CETINJE

Discover the cultural and historical heart of Montenegro in Cetinje, the country’s old royal capital and a town steeped in tradition and charm. Nestled at the foot of Mount Lovćen, Cetinje offers visitors a unique glimpse into Montenegro’s rich heritage and its role as a hub of art, history and politics.

Stroll through the historic streets of this small yet significant town, where grand 19th-century embassies, monasteries and palaces reflect its royal past. Visit the iconic Cetinje Monastery, home to sacred relics including the right hand of Saint John the Baptist and explore the National Museum of Montenegro housed in the former Royal Palace of King Nikola.

A day trip to Cetinje from the coastal towns of Kotor Bay or Budva offers a perfect opportunity to combine Montenegro’s history with its stunning landscapes. The drive up takes you through scenic routes with breathtaking views of the Adriatic and the lush countryside. Once in Cetinje, immerse yourself in the town’s relaxed atmosphere, visiting galleries, museums and charming local cafes that evoke the spirit of Montenegro’s cultural soul.

Cetinje is also the gateway to Lovćen National Park, where you can visit the Njegoš Mausoleum, the resting place of Montenegro’s beloved poet-prince Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. From the mausoleum’s perch high on Mount Lovćen, take in panoramic views that stretch from the mountains to the sea.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a culture lover or simply looking to explore Montenegro’s quieter, more traditional side, Cetinje is a must-visit destination.
