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

A boutique place.
By bus
Maybe the best way to get to Cetinje. It is less than hour's drive from both Podgorica and Budva.
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.
Cetinje, especially the historical centre of the city, is small enough, and everything is within walking distance.
