Nikšić is the second largest city in Montenegro. In Nikšić proper there are a few sites to see but most of the really interesting places are located on the way to or from the city (such as the Ostrog Monastery).
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Carev Most, which translates to "The Tsar's bridge", is a 269 metre-long stone bridge, built in 1896. It was partially funded by Russian Tsar Alexander III, which is why Nikola I, then ruler of Montenegro, proposed to name the structure after him.
Montenegro's last bridge remaining from Roman times, built in the III century and protected since 1947. Pedestrians only.
Remnants of a Roman fortress from the IV century. The site as well as its car park receive little care and are full of trash, but after climbing few steps you are at least able to get a good view over the city.
A large Serbian-orthodox cathedral on a pine tree hill, designed by a Russian architect and built between 1895 and 1900.
This concrete monument from the Yugoslavian era, erected in 1987 to honour the fallen fighters of WWII, is in fairly good condition and a must-see for fans of brutalism.
Ostrog Monastery, especially Upper Ostrog is one of the most popular religious touristic destinations in Montenegro. Built in the XVII century.
An artificial lake, popular with locals for swimming and sunbathing. Features a restaurant, café (both open in summer only), and playgrounds for kids.
If all you're craving for is a literal walk in the park, look no further. During weekdays, the park might be devoid of people, aside from the odd jogger. One of the city's better hotels, Hotel Trebjesa, is located on the eponymous hill.
Fruits and veggies abound – as long as you come in the morning.
Good selection of usual groceries, including a number of Italian and Croatian imports.
Restaurant with a large menu including pizza, pasta, risotto, grilled meat, seafood and other (fast) food popular in Montenegro. Menu features English translations, and staff speaks decent English.
By taxi
If you don't have your own transport and want to visit Krupačko Jezero or other places far from the centre, taxis are available. It's unlikely that drivers speak English.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
