Walking through the cities of Montenegro: the wonderful Cetinje
Cetinje is the official capital of Montenegro, although in fact administrative life and the main commercial and political activity are concentrated in Podgorica. Consequently, Cetinje has excellent opportunities to preserve the original Montenegrin atmosphere, although the residences of the president and the metropolitan are located right here.
