Itinerary
You will visit the "new castle" and museum. Biljarda was the castle first used by our famous poet and ruler Njegos, and was named after his favorite game - Billiard. Today it is used as a museum dedicated to Njegos.
King Nicola's palace today serves as a museum to one of the most interesting figures in Montenegrin history - Nikola Petrovic.
We will visit the national museum at Cetinje, seeing some very interesting pieces of history. The most interesting piece to see here is Our Lady of Philermos, a Byzantine icon of the Theotokos, dated to the 11th or 12th century. Originally kept at Phileremos Monastery in Rhodes, the icon was long venerated as the patroness of the Knights Hospitaller, and kept at Rhodes and Malta. It is now kept in the Museum of Art and History at Cetinje, Montenegro.

About Budva
Budva, on Montenegro's Adriatic coast, is a walled old town on a small peninsula, with a long run of beaches on either side.
Budva's old town sits on a rocky peninsula, enclosed by stone walls with a citadel on the seaward point. Narrow lanes lead between small churches and squares, and the settlement is more than 2,500 years old, with Venetian rulers shaping its present look from the fifteenth century. A 1979 earthquake damaged much of it, and it was carefully rebuilt. Beaches such as Mogren are reached by a path along the sea.
