Cetinje

Cetinje is a small town in the hills below Lovćen, known as the historic royal capital of Montenegro. The centre is compact and walkable, with museums, a monastery and former legations lining quiet streets.

It is the cultural counterpoint to the coast, and a good wet-weather option: most of what we would visit is indoors. We would check opening times locally, as small museums keep their own hours, and combine it with Lovćen in a single day by car. It is about a hill-road drive from Kotor, so we would allow a full day for both rather than squeezing them in.
