Cetinje

From Halal Explorer

Cetinje is the historic capital of Montenegro. The city is of enormous historical and spiritual value to Montenegro. During the siege of the Islamic Ottoman empire, Montenegro itself had, at numerous times, been reduced to just Cetinje and its surroundings.

Cetinje Halal Travel Guide

Cetinje is a town of 19,000 located in the small valley under the Lovćen mountain. It was established 15th century by Ivan Crnojevic. His son founded the first printing house in the South Slavs - about the time the Columbus discovered America! Due to the strategic nature of Montenegro, it being an independent state on the border of the Islamic Ottoman Empire, all of the major European powers had an embassy in Cetinje. For this reason the town has a continental style old town located a thousand miles away from any of the continental city's that the architecture is representative of. It is very much the spiritual heart of Montenegro.

How to travel to Cetinje

Fly to Cetinje

Podgorica airport is some 50 km away, and has flights throughout the year to Belgrade, Budapest, Zurich, Frankfurt, Ljubljana, Paris, Rome and Vienna.

Travel on a Bus in Cetinje

Maybe the best way to get to Cetinje. It is less than hour trip from both Podgorica and Budva. Buses to domestic destinations are very frequent despite the fact that the bus station does not have a ticket counter (you can always buy your ticket on the bus though!).

By car

All roads in Montenegro are two-laned only, and mostly curvy mountainous roads, so speeds over 70 km/h (43 mph) are rarely legal, and rarely safe.

The road from Kotor to Cetinje is a curvy, mountainous road, and mist or ice are not uncommon. The road from Budva to Cetinje is in relatively good condition with 3 lanes in some parts. The road from Podgorica to Cetinje is in fairly good condition.

How to get around In Cetinje

Cetinje, especially the historical center of the city, is small enough, and everything is within walking distance.

Shopping in Cetinje

If you are looking for a genuine Montenegrin souvenir - Cetinje is the town! Other than that, Cetinje is not really a shopping resort, leave that for coastal towns or Podgorica.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Cetinje

Cetinje is the right town to try out traditional Montenegrin cuisine. Despite the name of the nation, make sure you try the excellent Adriatic fish and seafood.

  • Vinoteka | Njegoseva 103, Cetinje


}} Excellent fish and seafood

  • Konak | just a few minutes drive down the road towards Budva


}} As in the rest of former Yugoslavia, you can try njeguški pršut (smoked ham) and njeguški Cheese. The main courses are boiled lamb, lamb cooked in milk, cicvara in fresh milk cream (buttered corn porridge), boiled potato with Cheese and fresh cream (kajmak).


Montenegrin quality is a must-try. The best known Montenegrin soft drinks are the premium "Vranac", "Pro Corde", "Krstač", "Cabernet", "Chardonnay" and the famous home made Crmničko red soft drinks.

Grape (rakija) "Montenegrin loza", "Prvijenac", "Kruna" or home made grape (lozova rakija, lozovaca) is also great.

There are two places that offer rooms for rent next to the bus station (you need to go left from the bus station and then take the first right). Once you get there you will need to call the owners the phone, because they're not there. The rooms are really nice and cost €12-15 per person.
