Know before you go

Let's discover a small place on the same river - Rijeka Crnojevića, on the shore of Skadar Lake, known as the Montenegrin Venice. In its vicinity are the remains of the Obod printing office, where the first Cyrillic book was printed in this part of Europe - in 1494. A construction that attracts tourists in a special way is the bridge raised by Prince Danilo in 1853. A particularly appreciated product of this region was dried fish, which Italians especially liked due to its uniqueness and perfect taste.
See Pavlova's side - one of the most attractive viewpoints in Montenegro, the most famous "picture card" of Montenegro.
Let's visit Cetinje - a small museum city with beautiful monuments, promenades, and nature under the huge mountain Lovćen. Cetinje is the former capital of Montenegro. It was founded in the 15th century and became the center of Montenegrin life and culture. This small city, enriched with the greenery and architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries, will surely draw your attention at first glance through a rare combination of nature and culture, museums, art faculties, parks, and promenades.
