General presentation
Cetinje and Lovćen
Former royal capital and symbolic massif, between museums, monastery, panoramic road, mausoleum of Njegoš and views to the bay.
The discovery of Cetinje and Lovćen revolves around Cetinje, Njegoš Mausoleum and Lovćen National Park. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, heritage, natural spaces and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: winding road and weather to check at the top. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage and panorama
Mausolée de Njegoš
The Njegoš Mausoleum occupies a ridge of the Lovćen and combines national memory, monumental architecture and wide views. Access by stairs and mountain road is part of the experience as well as the monument itself.
Historical city
Cetinje
Cetinje keeps the scale of an old capital, with embassies, museums, monastery and streets quieter than the coast. The city gives a clear cultural step between the mountains and the bay of Kotor.
Mountain
Lovćen National Park
The Lovćen connects the coastline and the interior by means of balcony roads, villages and medium mountain landscapes. The views towards the Bouches de Kotor are particularly strong when the air is clear.
