The experience

This tour works best if you have a free afternoon or morning from your Kotor base and want to see the interior without renting a car. The driver picks you up, and the day unfolds as a series of climbs and descents across the heartland. You start in Cetinje, the old royal capital, with a walk through the town itself. From there the route enters Lovcen National Park and climbs to the mausoleum, where 461 steps lead to the summit. The views from the top reach across the whole country. The descent takes you to Njegusi, a village set on a high plateau, where the panoramic drive around Štirovnik plateau is counted among the world's finest viewpoints.

The return journey uses a completely different route: the famous 25-curve road that switchbacks down the mountain. Driving it is described as an adventure in itself, and it breaks up the day so the route does not retrace its own path. The whole loop runs five to six hours. An English-speaking professional driver handles the navigation and the vehicle is air-conditioned. Bottled water and snacks are provided, and all park fees and fuel are built into the price.
