Old Montenegro Tour

Perfect for history lovers, this tour combines some of the most culturally rich destinations in Montenegro: Njeguši, Cetinje, and Kotor.

Begin the day with a panoramic drive to Njeguši, a traditional village between Cetinje and Kotor. The road between Njeguši and Kotor was constructed in the late 19th century and climbs from 0 to 1,100m in 25 serpentines. It offers various stunning views of the sparkling Bay of Kotor and the Old Town of Kotor, providing excellent photo opportunities.

Passing the famous Mount Lovcen, we will reach Njeguši, a culturally rich town in the territory of old Montenegro. It is also where the rulers of the Petrovic dynasty were born. There, you will taste local products such as smoked ham, cheese, and grape brandy at Kod Pera na Bukovicu, a 136-year-old restaurant in Njeguši.
Members of the family-run restaurant will also give a tour of their smokehouse and explain the traditional process of smoking ham.

During the Ottoman period, the only road connecting Cetinje and Kotor passed through Njegusi, making it a centre for history and tradition. We will follow this scenic mountain road to Cetinje, the old royal capital of Montenegro, and embark on a walking tour. Due to Cetinje’s authentic architecture and density of historic buildings, it has been dubbed “museum city”.

The journey back to Kotor will take a new route passing the coastal town of Budva, which offers new scenery and many photo opportunities. The town of Budva lies on a Riviera of sandy beaches, coves, capes, and coastal settlements; in fact, it is one of the oldest settlements in the Adriatic region.

The tour will finish with a guided walk through the Old Town of Kotor, a marvellously preserved medieval city and UNESCO World Heritage site nestled between sparkling waters and rugged mountains.

A local and licensed tour guide will lead you through all of the major architectural and historic landmarks in Kotor, including the Square of Arms, Clock Tower, Old Town Hall, and various palaces and churches. The tour highlights the best of Kotor and provides local insight into Montenegrin history, culture, and traditions.
