Old Montenegro tour

Overview

Cetinje was the centre of Montenegro from the 15th century to the first half of the 20th century and the place where the state of Montenegro was established, which resisted the conquering of the Ottoman emperors for centuries.

This tour is not recommended for people who are afraid of heights.

After we have welcomed you and introduced ourselves we get into the car and start a drive toward Budva. The first short break is on a hill above the Jaz beach, which was declared the most beautiful beach in Europe in 2015., according to the site Lonely Planet. After that, we are going to stop above the Old Town of Budva, where you will be able to enjoy the panoramic view of that part of Budva Riviera with sandy beaches. Then, we visit cultural and historical monuments and take a walk through narrow, crisscrossed streets of the town. The Old Town of Budva (Montenegro Tours) was founded 1500 years B.C.,and is one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic coast. During our walk, you are going to hear all about its long and rich history, but also about the modern way of life. From here we continue to the mountainous area of our country and our next stop is at the height of 600 metres above sea level, from where you have a stunning view of the Riviera and the Adriatic Sea, We go on and come to the Old Royal Capital of Cetinje, where we visit its cultural-historical centre, a place where our state of Montenegro was established. A specific feature of the town is the fact that it was never conquered by the Ottoman Empire, although they had attacked and burned it numerous times. Montenegro managed to raise and recover and it was declared the independent monarchy in Berlin, in 1878, at the same time surrounded by other great, mighty countries. After Cetinje, we continue towards the village of Njegusi, mainly through the rocky landscape known as „rocky sea“. We are going to take a break here, in a traditional restaurant „Zora“, whose owner is at the same time, the manufacturer of smoke-dried ham and domestic cheese, as well as other meat products, so you will have an opportunity to visit the ham smokehouse.

Afterwards, we continue our tour and reach the place that has a breathtaking view even for us, local people, and that is why this tour is not recommended (explore Montenegro) to those who are afraid of heights, but if you want to get that fear over, it is a perfect place. From there, we drive towards Kotor slowly, towards the place where we first met. This is where our tour ends. 

Notes:. To enter the monasteries and churches you only have to cover your shoulders and knees. This tour is not physically demanding because the most of the terrain is even, apart from a few stairs in the palace of King Nikola. From the end of May to the half of September temperatures can reach even 38 grades C (100 grades F), so we advise you to take lightweight clothing and hats with yourselves.
