grkboiler Says: The Palace of King Nikola I (the last king of Montenegro) is also the home of a small museum. The palace was completed in 1867 and was added to in 1871 and 1910. In the palace, you will see original pieces of furniture and artifacts and the house as it was during the reign...
ELear Says: The monastery’s wonderful, even though yYou’ve got very little chance indeed of being shown their most important relic – the right hand of John the Baptist (the hand that baptised Christ).
call_me_rhia Says: The king's palace is now the National Museum of Montenegro... don't worry. it has changed name but not content... it is still the building where King Nikola I Petrovic lived and reigned.This palace is a simple home on two floors and two added wings... it's more like a...

Statue of Ivan I Crnojević
call_me_rhia Says: The statue Ivan I Crnojević, known generally as Ivan the Black, is right outside the Royal palace. It is dedicated to the Montenegrin ruler of the medieval country of Zeta between 1465 and 1490. Why did he deserve a statue, albeit not a too nice one? Because it is him...
call_me_rhia Says: Since Montenegro has become independent again (2006) a new parliament has opened in Cetinje - however I have no idea if this is the state parliament's or just a regional one.You will not recognise it by the building, although it is nice (if I understood correctly there was...
call_me_rhia Says: The French Embassy is a remnant of Cetinjie's past as a capital city, together with other embassies. It's no longer a functional one, like the hoters, but it is one of the most impressive "illustrious" buildigns left.It was built in 1910 and designed by the French architects...

call_me_rhia Says: We stopped in this little joint by the bus stop to have a quick bite - basically soem bread and cevapcici - and a soft drink. Watch out for the glasses and get your drinks in a can - not because they are dirty, but instead because they are too clean... the problem is that...

ELear Says: Buses are good in Montenegro (at least along the Bay of Kotor, where they’re cheap and very frequent), but I found taxi drivers there tended to demand very high fares. There’s a single organization, apparently, which has a monopoly. In Cetijne things might be a bit...
call_me_rhia Says: To get to Cetinje it's simple... there are regular buses either from Budva or from Podgorica. Getting to Mount Lovcen is simple, too - although there's no public transportation. Once you arrive at the bus station in Cetinje you'll find a couple of taxi drivers which are more...
susineumann Says: If you want to visit Lovcen Mausoleum, you should not pay more than 20 Euros going by taxi from Cetinje!!! The taxi driver will wait for you and bring you back. Natives told us that 20 Euros is appropiate. Taxis are available at the bus station.
vesna04 Says: Folk dance of Montenegro is very original. It is realy more jumping than dancing. It is probably because in this macho society dancing was considered too feminen. Difficuilt figure performing is the part of the dance too.

travelthrough Says: Just be careful when traveling by car onyour own because of the real high mountain-ranges and passes in the area of MountLofcen. It is very steep and often roadsare very narrow. Of course, it is worth the trip because from the high mountain-tops of Montenegro you have a...
call_me_rhia Says: Mt Lovcen is part of Lovcen National Park which has an area of 6.220 hectares of pine-covered mountains. There's a road winding its way up to the top (aso used at times for rallies) and then hundreds of steps to the very top, where you can see the mausoleum dedicated to the...
Jeca011 Says: On the peak Jezerski vrh on Mt Lovcen, at 1660 meters altitude, there is the Mausoleum of Petar II Petrovic Njegos. It was erected according to the project of Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic on the spot where Njegos during his life, had his small church-chapel built wishing...
call_me_rhia Says: Cetinje is a world apart from the stunning Montenegrin coastal towns - it's more sober and less eye-catching - but definitely not uglier. it is much quieter, though... it is located on a high plateau between Kotor Bay and Shkodra Lake, is surrounded by mountains and was once...
Jeca011 Says: Dynasty Petrovic-Negos was ruling Montenegro, and brought western ideas of statehood and culture. Bishop Danilo Petrovic the founder of the Petrovic- Njegos dynasty, was appointed as a Metropolitan in 1697. With this election Metropolitan throne became inheritable within the...
