Heart of Montenegro
Central region
The central area is where we find both the old and the new capital of Montenegro. Tradition and modern vibes, art and culture, the past and present.
Central Part of Montenegro is literally heart of the country in many way, not only geographically.
Lets start by stating that the first capital of Montenegro was founded in Cetinje at the end of 15th Century. That in these 3 towns we have 60 percent of Montenegrin population. It is notable that this was the only region which never fell under the Ottoman rule, nor Napoleon or Austrans and Venetians.
History of Cetinje and present of Podgorica, the Old Royal Capital and the modern capital of Montenegro.
Podgorica as a new capital of Montenegro(on tour you shall learn why and when was capital changed), is great starting location for many trips. Within Podgorica municipality is Skadar lake National park, and with construction of the new highway it takes only 40 minutes to get to the sky slopes of Bjelasica.
Niksic is located just below sky resort Vucje, and next to two man made lakes, one of the open for visitors and suitable for swimming.
