Travel Plan: Guiding Your Expedition

Our tour will start by walking through this small historical town. You will see various old embassies, which today have found a different purpose and are still in use. You will be able to see the popular Blue Palace, built in the 19th century for Prince Danilo, the ruins of the old Cetinje Monastery from the 15th Century, and the 19th Century Cipuri church before we come to the Monastery of Cetinje, which was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th Century and even today it is the center of our Orthodox church. Our tour guide will also take you to the monastery of Cetinje also known as the monastery of Petar I Petrović. This monastery was built in the early 18th Century. Our tour guide will then take you to the monument dedicated to Ivan Crnojevic the founder of Cetinje. Before we finish the tour on the square where the 19th-century castles are.
During this 30-minute walk, we will visit the 19th-century castle built through the reign of Petar II Petrovic Njegosh, also known as the New Castle or simple ‘ Biljarda’ named by the Njegosh favorite hobby billiard, that he used to play in one of the rooms of the castle. This beautiful and unusually shaped castle has 25 rooms that are used as an exhibition room in the present day where they showcase the history of his reign, his work as a leader, his poetry, and books that have placed him in first place among all the southern Slavs writers.
From here you will continue walking toward King Nichola’s palace, which converted today as a museum.
