Most impressive view is from outside. Also, it's in my opinion, mostly for prayers, not for tourist visitora.

Nice to see monastry when you're visiting Cetinje. The architecture is impressive and it's cool that it's still in use by monks.

Historical place, it was full of Montenegro flags when we visited.

Museum was closed. Chapel was open but no photos, and a priest watched... The frescoes are great, but no different than others of the same period that you are able to photograph in other monasteries. The dude in front of me kissed most of the icons and several frescoes...you're telling me that's better for the artwork than me taking a photo? I pray too, but I don't swap spit with a relic.

Spiritual center of Montenegro. You can visit the small chapel and buy souvenirs in the shop.

Beautiful views and mausoleum. It’s not overcrowded with tourists. Definitely worth visiting make sure you grab a bottle of water with u as there’s lots of steps.

monastery dating from 1484, the surroundings are full of greenery.

Nice place to just walk around and look at the buildings. There was a wedding going on when we went to it was pretty cool to watch that. Other than that, not many rooms to tour but the buildings are beautiful from the outside. The gift shop is available for purchases and there are tents set up not too far away with vendors selling antiques and souvenirs.

We went into the monastery and I had to cover my legs although I was wearing a leggings, but I mean.. that’s ok. The surrounding of the site is peaceful and lovely, but inside there are only two rooms to look into. I’ve expected much more to see. Anyway it’s a nice place with huge history and it’s great to ask some questions about the place.

To me, one of the most beautiful monasteries in Montenegro. It is located in the city of Cetinje, if you go from Podgorica to Cetinje, the road is fantastic. In the monastery itself is the hand of St. Jovana , the Bridge of St. Peter of Cetinje, one of the priests will surely open a chest for you to pray. My recommendation to everyone who goes to Cerinje to stop, and visit this beautiful monastery.

Only if you are really interested in Montenegro history

Excellent place to visit. Lot of history

We visited in May 2019 Cetinje and went to a short visit to Biljarda, on the end it was amazing experience. Museum has saved a lots of artefacts originated from Njegos period, as well as his personal items. Pool table and treasury box as well as uniforms from last century are personal highlights of museum.

The best thing to see here is the Relief of Montenegro, built in 1916 by the Austro-Hungarian army. Besides of the strategic military significance, this unique object acquires aesthetic and historical value. After finish your visit in to the museum, the recepcionist will take you to the Relief and explain nice details. Enjoy !

I'm local from Montenegro, so Cetinje and this place is realy special to me... This castle-like palace was the residence of Montenegro’s favourite son, prince-bishop and poet Petar II Petrović Njegoš. It was built and financed by the Russians in 1838 and housed the nation’s first billiard table (hence the name). The bottom floor is devoted to military costumes, photos of soldiers with outlandish moustaches and exquisitely decorated weapons. Upstairs are Njegoš’ personal effects, including his bishop’s cross and garments, documents, fabulous furniture and, of course, the famous billiard table.

We loved it. The lady who showed us around had a lot of knowledge and was happy to answer all our questions. She herself talked very interestingly about the history of her country, about traditions, culture, as well as about religion and politics over the centuries. I would highly recommend!

Very disappointed that museum does not work on a Saturday even though the working hours in Google show that it works on this day of the week

A great insight into history. Highly recommend visiting both Cetinje and the museum.

I liked it, the people running it really are friendly and helpful... But there really isn't much to see. It's a shame, I feel like all the bones are there for a good museum but it's been left untouched and poorly curated for clearly quite some time.

For a museum it is beautiful, and really interesting. For a national museum it is pretty disappointing. It shows a lot of Archaeological findings, tells the story of the history of the countery. It is a little bit confusing, and jumps through different times very frequently

Informative and well-maintained museum. We only had time to visit the Montenegrin history part but there is also an art museum which focuses on Yugoslavian artists. The exhibits could use more context and background information, unless you are already familiar with the history of Montenegro / Yugoslavia you might have trouble understanding the displays.

Interesting museum on the history of Montenegro. It is an ‘old fashioned’ museum with a lot of displays. The first floor is the history part of the museum. The second floor is the art gallery with art from local artists. The staff is very enthusiastic.

Good museum. It describes the Montenegro's history in a nice timeline. You should make sure that you're ready to read a lot in the museum because it's important to read all explanations to understand the whole story.

Lots of really interesting information but it could be better presented in an engaging way rather than lots of artefacts in cases. Really interesting section about the Yugoslav wars… particularly the part the Montenegrins played in their “dark past.”

Don't miss this place for any reason. With one ticket (12 euros) you can easily visit 6 museums in an afternoon /1 day. Art museum and the historical one are in the same place, yellow Palace. Art museum includes a selection of 3.000 artists'works through all the era: Renaissance, impressionism, modernism, cubism, etc. Until nowadays. Artists are all from Montenegro area and many have studied in European countries such as Italy and France.

Finally managed to find a museum in this country. It was worth travelling to this city just for the museum. €3 entrance is worth it. The 1900's history is more interesting as there's more than just old coins and flags to look at. Glad to learn more about the Montenegrin identity, especially through the conversation I had with the museum guide who helped me better understand why Montenegro is an ecological state. Thank you for an enlightening conversation and I do hope that Montenegro will do its best to protect its beautiful nature, the beaches and the sea as much as it is willing to protect the mountains. Tourists will still come, just a better and more respectful bunch who can appreciate this beautiful country. The building is nice, the courtyard should be opened to paid visitors too.

It’s worth to visit to dive deeper into the history of country.

If You are interested in history of Montenegro this is definitely the place for You. Museum mostly focuses on modern history of this beautiful country. The best thing about the museum is the Lady at the entrance. She told us the brief history about Montenegro from the very beginning and we were able to ask questions freely. Brilliant! It was such a nice conversation. My sincere apologies but I forgot the Ladies’s name. I hope You will read this :)

Great place to visit. Here you will learn about history of Montenegro in all the stages of this land, all the invasions and changes of power at 2006 . Amazing colection od objects from each period and great organization. Also the superior floor is the Art Museum, with great exibitions of Montenegro's artists.

Various styles of painting help to get better feeling of Montenegrin Art, really worth to see. Ticket cost about 5€, 1 hour in Art Museum was enough to see most of works.

Interesting to see the home of their only king. Nice park all around and lots. More to see. Lovely with interesting history

The museum is the royal home. Tour was an hour long. Loaded with original furniture and art. Worth walking around the campus.

Nice museum of the original house for King Nicholas and his family. The museum attempts to reconstruct the exact way the family used to live in the house. Different rooms allow visitors to have a glimpse of the royal daily life at the time. The museum also has a display of weaponry, clothing, coins, paintings and portraits, personal items, dinnerware, stamps and of course furniture of that period some even original from the house. The museum costs 5 euro per person to be paid in cash. We received a paper flyer in English describing the rooms which was helpful since the museum doesn’t have any write up in front of it in the rooms. We had to return the flyer upon exit. The museum is overall well maintained. One would start on the first floor with two large rooms to visit and then move up to the top floor with all family rooms and their intriguing history.

One of the most delightful dining experiences I've had in years. Every dish was incredibly tasty and the service was incredible.

Good collection of the King's things...no photos allowed (which goes against the whole point of his life, a part of which was to promote and celebrate a country). A high school class was on tour and the leader used a police whistle to get attention, which was unnerving. No signage (you're given a well worn photocopied pamphlet in your language to return after your done). What exactly is the admission money going toward? The gift store was lame. For such a great figure and national hero, without which the country wouldn't exist...Underwhelming. You can do better, Cetinje, Montenegro!

Lovely place. Wr had a place to ourselves and enjoyed wondering around the palace. Lady at reception was friendly and took time to talk to us about the family and the history.

Loved learning the history and the displays were amazing.

Lovely village. Beautiful place. Views amazing going up.

Beautiful Palace museum, gardens and city. A great weekend destination.

Great visit. We'll done historic site.

Best part of the National Museum of Montenegro was the King Nicholas Museum. Shame it had no written explanations or commentary to support.

Doesn't look much from outside, but this former royal palace is quite opulent inside! Lots of late 19th/early 20th century original paintings, furniture and gifts from other royalty across Europe including Tsar Nicholas from Russia. Worth a visit, your 5 Euro entry includes a guided tour.

A small church surrounded by a cemetery. Worth to spend here a few minutes.

Cetinja is very calm city where life goes slowly. Monastry and Church - worth to see when you in the town.

Really lovely city, slow way of life. All the streets are tree lined. Has a calming effect for the soul

Nice, small and pretty old Orthodox church, at Cetinje, the old capital of Montenegro.

An important church in Cetinje.

Great istorical place

(Translated by Google) A small Orthodox church, the oldest building in Cetina, which is located in the city center on Freedom Square. The Vlas Church was one of the first to be built during the founding of the city. It is known that in 1860, the Montenegrin king Nikola I married his wife Milena in this temple. Near the temple there is a very old cemetery, where prominent personalities are buried who played an important role in the history of the city. It's quiet and peaceful inside. (Original) Маленькая православная церковь, старейшая постройка в Цетине, которая находится в центре города на площади Свободы. Влашскую церковь построили одной из первых при основании города. Известно, что в 1860 г. в этом храме черногорский король Никола I венчался со своей женой Миленой. Возле храма очень старое кладбище, где захоронены выдающиеся личности, сыгравшие немаловажную роль в истории города. Внутри тихо и спокойно.
