It starts from Kotor at 8:30am. Just after a short drive you will be amazed by the Old Road constructed in 1879 by Austro-Hungarians to connect Kotor and Cetinje (Old Royal Capital). It has 25 curves till the point in which the road divides where we go to the top of Lovcen Mountain or towards Cetinje. There will be several stops for you to take photos and to enjoy the beauty of Boka bay.
Breakfast break is in Njegusi village which is best known as the birthplace of the Petrović dynasty, which ruled Montenegro from 1696 to 1918. Cheese and prosciutto made solely in the area around Njeguši are genuine examples of Montenegrin cuisine.
The mausoleum sits at the top of a climb of 461 steps. The most impressive part of the mausoleum is the chapel which has six sides and one central niche; it is built from the finest Boka and Brac marble. The beautiful ceiling is 9 meters high and covered with over 200,000 gilded tiles creating a fascinating mosaic.
Then you will do a one hour walking tour through Cetinje visiting its main sights, such as Cetinje Monastery where several relics are kept (Remains of St. Peter of Cetinje, the Right hand of John the Baptist, Particles of the True Cross, the Icon of the Philermos Mother of God, the Remains of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš (relocated), Royal Regalia of Serbian Emperor Stephen Uroš IV Dušan, among others), Vlaska church (built in 1450, with its fence made out of barrels of captured enemy rifles), museums, the royal theater and historic foreign embassies.
Next stop is River Crnojevica, a small historical town in Central Montenegro on the ancient trading route through the country. Close by to the city is the most beautiful part of Lake Skadar. It is worth visiting for both the lake and the old architecture left over from the trader days. Lunch break will be here and don't hesitate to try local fish food. In this place it is optional to take a 1 hour boat ride along the river.
You will do a one hour walking tour through the Old Town in Budva visiting the main sights. After the walking tour is done you will head towards the famous beach Jaz where you can do some swimming.
