Admire the Majestic Lord of Zeta Statue

A statue of Ivan Crnojević, from the dynasty that ruled the medieval state of Zeta, with his sword on his shoulder looking up to the skies with pride stands in Cetinje. Ivan from the House of Crnojević ruled as Lord of Zeta from 1465 to 1490, he founded Cetinye and built a chain of fortresses in places like Obod to try and cordon of his land. He made the then unknown village of Mt. Lovćen (now one of the country’s most treasured national parks) the capital of Cetinje. Here he would erect court offices and the monastery of Cetinje.

Reknown for battles with the Venetians and Turkish, later in his reign he worked tirelessly to create an economically independent state by restricting trade with coastal towns and encouraging handicraft. Ivan was perhaps most well-known for bringing a range of legislative acts that were later of huge importance for the cultural and legal history of a future Montenegro.
Spend a few hours in the museum next door to get a real insight into man himself, and the national identity of the great country you’re visiting.

Sip on Montenegrin Wine in the Mediterranean Sunshine

Sampling the wine of Montenegrin grapes, is quite a rare experience around the world. The country was producing wine long before France and Italy but produces small quantities in its cooler altitudes.

The city of Bar, Adriatic lies straight across the Adriatic sea from Bari, Puglia in Italy, both areas are renown for producing a robust red Primitivo (Zinfandel). The country produces a tiny but delicious amount of Vranac, its most important grape to make it, but those who are lucky enough to try it enjoy a intense flavour with a rich colour. After a few years, benefitting from the use of oak, Montenegrin Vranac has a taste to rival the best, strongest wines from the south of France. Its unique flavour can have a fresh acid balance, not common in wines across the water in Italy.

Since 1963, Montenegro has also been supplying the highly popular beverage of grape brandy Plantaže, making 17 million bottles anually. Made at one of the Europe's largest vineyard and with an exquisite taste, Plantaže is another must try for your visit.

Climb Kotor's Majestic Walls

High above the town of Kotor are some of the best vantage points across the bay – the ancient city walls. The walls date back to medieval times, built to protect Kotor from invaders. They developed over the years under various rulers, from the Byzantines to the Venetians, until they formed a full loop in the hillside until 15th C. There’s a combination of ramparts, gates, churches, forts and bastions built along them, and despite time, invasion and earthquakes over the years they’re still unbelievably well-preserved.

In the day their grey stone blends in with the muted green of the mountains behind and it can be hard to see their outline. But at night they are lit up to offer a spectacular view, with the light reflecting over the calm water of the bay – the walls almost appear to form a circle. A real must-see if you find yourself in Kotor in the evening.
