Mini Montenegro tour: Kotor, Cetinje

Overview

If you want to experience Montenegro in one day – Mini Montenegro tour is the choice for you. On a day trip, we will connect a tour of the splendid town of Kotor, once a trading center that experienced its greatest blossom in the time of Venice and Cetinje, the old capital of Montenegro, where the ruler of the Dynasty – Petrović Njegoš used to sit. Two ancient cities, significant for the history of Montenegro, connect the old Austro-Hungarian road, a unique infrastructure attraction. This route crosses an altitude difference of approximately 900 meters. In the historic village of Njeguši, a hidden gem in the heart of Montenegro, you will not resist the gastronomic offer of traditional products, the Montenegrin brand – Njeguš prosciutto and Njeguš cheese.

Group meeting at the agreed location, in Bar from where we head towards Kotor. On the way to Kotor, we take a photo break at Sveti Stefan – one of the most luxurious resorts in Montenegro, a town-hotel unique in the Mediterranean. We pass part of the Budva Riviera and Budva, and our guides will tell you why Budva is the metropolis of Montenegrin tourism. We will have the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful beaches of the Montenegrin coast. Jaz Beach became world famous after concerts of popular rock stars – Mick Jagger, Madonna…

We cannot miss a visit to the town of Kotor. It is under the protection of UNESCO. St. Tryphon, whose cathedral is older than the Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican and the Virgin Mary Church of Notterdam in Paris, adorn Kotor’s largest town square. Buća Palace, Pima Palace, Drago Palace are some of the preserved noble palaces where we recognize elements of the Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque.

We continue our journey towards Cetinje along the winding Austro-Hungarian road. On the 25th serpentine we make a photo break for your top photo from Montenegro. There was a cable car on this section during World War I supplying the Austro-Hungarian army with arms and food.

The combination of Mediterranean and continental climate at the foot of Lovcen in the village of Njeguši creates a rose of winds that gives ideal conditions for drying of Njeguš prosciutto, the famous Montenegrin brand.

The gourmets say – the ham is cut thinly so that the top of Lovćen can be seen. It is not for eating, it is for tasting and enjoying… AVE tours takes you to taste the prosciutto. At Njeguši we will find out how to make Njeguš prosciutto and cheese, which many hotels have included in their national gastronomic offer. After tasting the Njeguš specialties, we continue our journey towards Cetinje.

Bishop Danilo’s mausoleum The Eagle’s Rock, the relics of Sv. Petar Cetinjski in the Cetinje Monastery, The Church in Ćipur, where the royal couple King Nikola and Queen Milena and their two daughters rest, give Cetinje the seal of a holy place.
