Palaces, museums and the road to Lovćen.
Cetinje feels like an open-air museum of embassies, palaces and a monastery. It’s also the gateway to the famous Kotor Serpentine and Lovćen hiking.
Plan a half-day: visit museums, grab a coffee on the main street and continue to viewpoints above the Bay of Kotor.
