Central Montenegro
National Parks
From the depths of Lake Skadar to the heights of Lovćen, Central Montenegro's national
parks protect a broad range of habitats. Birdwatchers will find plenty to twitch about, es-
pecially around Skadar, which is categorised as a wetland of international importance.
The Royal Capital
Much of Montenegro's history, culture and national identity is tied to Cetinje, its former
capital. That story is told through the town's historic buildings and an array of museums.
Spiritual Outposts
The monastic life is integral to the Serbian Orthodox faith, and this region is blessed with
the country's most significant shrine, Ostrog Monastery. Almost as affecting are the tiny
island monasteries scattered around Lake Skadar.
