Year: 2007

Historical capital of Montenegro. Surrounded by basalt mountains more like a Swiss chalet town than a national capital. I had to drive though twice before satisfying myself it was actually the capital.

Yes there are large holes in the ground, some of the roads are not made up and there are large piles of logs in the street, but this town did once used to be the national capital of Montenegro.

There are a few attractions in the town, like the national museum. And some of the women are good looking.

Cetinje Monastery

Again, the orthodox. People are invited to prostrate themselves at glass boxes.
Each box houses a different worthy god. Kissing is obligatory.

Candles are lit.

There is also a shop selling honey, postcards and different touristic nic-nacs.

Some parts of the monastery are out of bounds.

Museum Cetinje
KML: lat – 42.38914 lon – 18.92340

Located in the centre of town, this grand old museum documents the chronology of Montenegro from the Romans up until the end of the soviet era.

It makes an interesting series of exhibitions, marked most notable by a wall of portraits of wartime veterans.

There are some interesting weapons here which I have not seen elsewhere.

The exhibition is €3.
