As Cetinje grew in importance, it attracted architects from across Europe, who brought with them a variety of styles. The main street, Njegoševa Ulica, is lined with elegant 19th-century buildings, including the imposing Clock Tower and the former Royal Palace, now the President’s residence. These structures, with their ornate facades and grand interiors, showcase the influence of Baroque, Neo-Romanesque, and Art Nouveau architecture.
Beyond the city center, Cetinje’s architectural heritage extends to its surrounding villages. The traditional stone houses, with their distinctive red-tiled roofs, offer a glimpse into the region’s rural past. These charming buildings, often adorned with intricate wood carvings, reflect the ingenuity and craftsmanship of local builders.

My 7 days tour of Montenegro was superb. I was based in a 5 star hotel in Cetinje & it was a real pleasure to come back to my suite every afternoon having seen & experienced yet more highlights of this amazing country. My guide & driver, Bobo, was able to answer all my questions so I learned a great deal about the history & culture. I really appreciated his company.Trip date: September 2024

Montenegro is an underrated gem! The tour was perfect even though the weather wasn't at all times, but Borislav, our tour escort made sure we plan our day such that we make most of the sunny days as well as enjoy the rainy ones. The tour was well organized, well paced, communication was great and we were well taken care of at every step. We'd love to visit again someday cause 8 days isn't enough to explore this beautiful country!Trip date: September 2023

The tour in Montenegro was really nice. Montours was an excellent partner from the planning stage to the very end. And our tour guide, Tihomir, was perfect! Montenegro is a lovely country and we hope to return to see more of it. We had some difficulties with the payment function on TourRadar's website and some of the communication seemed complicated, but we managed. Thank you! Carolyn

Montenegro is an underrated gem! The tour was perfect even Montenegro was a beautiful country and having a private guide was an awesome way to experience many parts of it. Bogdan was a calm and competent driver on the steep and winding roads, and shared restaurant recommendations and anecdotes about the country, as well as some laughs with us. We had the good fortune to accept an offer to switch our last two nights to Cetinje, a beautiful town that it was great to explore as it was very different from Budva, which we also very much enjoyed.
