At the beginning of this century, one European princess was approaching Cetinje, and delighted with the panorama she exclaimed “This is the most beautiful remote spot of paradise”. She was probably on the Orlov krs (Eagle’s rocks) from which one can have the most beautiful view of the old Montenegrin capitol. The city has been the main centre of Montenegrin culture and spirituality for centuries, as well as the fight for the freedom. Although today, you will meet the former rulers, dukes, soldiers, ambassadors and consuls, on shaded Cetinje streets. The authentic old embassies buildings are still the witnesses of the glorious history of Montenegro. The space between the Monastery and the Billiard building, bears a resemblance to the famous square of  “Tsar of Bells” in Moscow, after which it was  patterned. Museums, galleries, archives, art academies, Cetinje Biennial, artists and bohemians give this town a unique character.

When visiting Cetinje one should not miss the monumental Mausoleum on Mount Lovcen. There you can pay your respect to the great Montenegrin poet and ruler, Petar II Petrovic Njegos.
