Itinerary

Ostrog Monastery

It is dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog, who was buried here. It consists of two parts - the Upper and Lower Monasteries.In the Upper, Monastery are kept Saint Basil of Ostrog’s relics. Saint Basil is the founder of the monastery From the monastery, a super view of the Bjelopavlići plain can be seen. Believers from all over the world come here to pray for the health of their loved ones and their own. The monastery was established in the 17th century but renovated in the 20th century.
Waterfall Niagara

30 min

One of the most selected spots to see in Podgorica, the capital city of Montenegro, is Niagara waterfalls, part of canyon river Cijevna. These waterfalls were built 150 years ago for the needs of the mill where flour used to be milled. Today it is a tourist attraction and magnificent scene of nature, where water breaks through the stones and creating a scene for a postcard. Due to the narrow passages, large rocks and large vineyard stretches, the Niagara falls are one of the most beautiful in Montenegro. In option with Skadar Lake(option 3) the waterfalls stop is complementary so doesn't affect the price. Have fun.
