Cetinje
Ideal: Montenegrin history, museums and quiet urban walks
Cetinje is Montenegro's former royal capital and one of its main historical and cultural centres. King Nikola's Palace, the Biljarda, former foreign legations and Cetinje Monastery lie within a compact walking area. The city's scale allows visitors to trace state-building and diplomatic history through architecture. Museum opening days and access rules at religious buildings may differ, so planning the order of a visit is worthwhile.
