Lipa cave is one of the largest cave monuments in Montenegro. Its 2,5 km long system of passages and halls makes it a place you simply must visit while in Montenegro. The beauty of Lipa cave was recognized and admired by notable historic figures, among which the Montenegrin royalty. Lipa cave was known of prior to Njegos’ time, and cave expeditions were organized even back then. Various renowned explorers from the 19th century left written documents regarding the cave’s existence and its abundance in cave ornaments, and explorations continue up to this day. Cave is located only 5km from town center of Cetinje, 33km from Budva, and 35km from capital city of Podgorica. In 2017 cave tour has been prolonged, visitors now spend longer time in the cave admiring additional cave galleries.

Very cool cave, fun tour with a good, knowledgeable and funny guide. It’s chilly with lots of dripping water so remember a raincoat.

This is one of the most important Monasteries of Serbian Orthodox church and it holds some of the most important Christian relics. The right hand of John the Baptist and piece of the true cross are laid in coffin over the remains of Serbian Saint Peter from Cetinje. The most amazing is the story that surrounds arrival of St John the Baptist hand in Monastery in Cetinje. It is believed to be the same relic that Saint Luke has found and that was hold in Constantinople under Byzantine emperors until its fall under Turks. Than as act of favor to the knights of Malta, Sultan Bajazit has granted them hand of John the Baptist, piece of true cross and icon of Holly Mather painted by Saint Luke. Those relics have remained in possession of knights of Malta until they had to leave island. After their retreat the knights decided to give all 3 relics to the Russian Czar and Romanov family as their patron. The relics remained in St Petersburg until Russian revolution and were miraculously saved by the only remaining Romanov family, aunt Olga who first managed to escape with relics to her royal relatives in Copenhagen, but then decided to give relics to Serbian royal family Karadjordjevic, as most of survivals of Russian nobility and officers after revolution have escaped in Serbia and were seeing Karadjordjevic royal family as their patrons. The relics have remained in Belgrade in the chapel of Kradjordjevic palace until Nazis occupied Belgrade. Than the relics and Kradjordjeivici treasure were sent to another great Monastery of Saint Vasil Ostroski near Niksic in Montenegro. The relics remained there until liberation from the Nazis and were taken by the new Communist Government in special treasure vaults. After several attempt from Serbian orthodox church to retreat the relics they were returned and are now in Cetnjski Monastery. For me personally this is one of most amazing stories as well as religious spiritual experience.

We did not visit the museum itself with our bike tour guides, just this large scale map (maybe 40 feet by 40 feet) of the country. Situated in a separate building, Made over a hundred years ago it is an excellent visual of the extent of the mountains in this country. You would never get that from a regular map,

When in Cetinje, which is the old capital of Montenegro, we visited the Museum of King Nicola in the main square. It's has a nice spacious entrance & as you enter each of the rooms it gets more & more interesting. There are fabulous artifacts & antiques which are so perfectly preserved, & many gifts which were gifted to the royal family on display with really interesting stories attached. It was really a pleasure to see this lovely palace (which is not too big) in such perfect condition & beautifully preserved, with so much interesting history attached.
