We recommend this tour to everyone who wants to learn more about the capital of Montenegro, its history, tradition, spirit, secrets, natural attractions, and the famous Plantaze vineyard. Taking this tour, you will be able to see all the parts of the municipality of Podgorica, which is settled in the valley cut by 6 rivers and has a few small hills within the town. At first look, the city seems very simple and easy to explore, but if you need to know what are you looking for, then you can discover very exciting things, like fortress Medun, waterfalls on the Cijevna River, cave monastery Dajbabe, an archeological site Duclea dated from Illyrians and Romans, fortress Zabljak Crnojevica on Skadar Lake and finally Sipcanik, the wine cellars with more than 2 million bottles of wine. Tasting excellent wine Vranac in one of the biggest wine cellars in Europe will be the highlight of this tour. Welcome:)

 WHERE WE WILL GO?

We will go to Medun, Doclea, Monastery Dajbabe, Zabljak Crnojevica, Waterfalls Cijevna, and wine cellars Sipcanik

 

MEDUN

m Medun

Our first stop will be Fortress Medun, 15 km away from the city center. While heading to Medun, we will have an open panoramic view over Podgorica where we will make a photo stop. The fortress Medun is situated on a small hill that we will climb for a few minutes and where is located with a small church and the tomb of Duke Marko Miljanov who was one of the most glorious heroes, clan leaders, and poets in Montenegro. The view is just amazing from this place. This fortress was founded by Illyrians more than two millenniums ago and represents a natural watchtower over the Medun field where numerous battles were fought during Montenegrin history.

m Museum Marko Miljanov

We will also see the birth house of Marko Miljanov which is turned into a museum and has an excellent ethnographic collection of authentic Montenegrin, Albanian, and Ottoman national costumes, flags, weapons, furniture, jewelry, pottery as well as photos, books, letters and documents from the duke's era.

 

DOCLEA (DUKLJA)

m Doclea ancient city near Podgorica 001

Leaving Medun, we go to Doclea, a very important archeological site near the city center. This place had been settled first by Illyrians named Dioclea. Later in the 1st century Romans changed the name to Doclea and filled up the city with 10 000 inhabitants. South Slavs took over the region in the 6th century. It is considered that this was the very beginning of the state of Montenegro. Doclea was a city with a big square (town forum), a line of market-kind shops, temples, a public bathroom, and other important institutions. Today there are only remains of the city, later a state. There are many fragments of pillars, consoles, or tombstones lying around while on the north side, there are the walls of curia (courthouse).

 

DAJBABE MONASTERY (MANASTIR DAJBABE) 

m The iconostasis of the church in The Dajbabe Monastery 001

After we visit Doclea we will take you to the Dajbabe monastery. This orthodox monastery is located at the foot of the hill Dajbabe, and it is very specific because the monastery's Church of Assumption of the Holy Virgin is in a cave with a couple of corridors. All painted frescoes were done by the saint Simeon Dajbabski who prayed and lived in this holy place. This is the only monastery in Montenegro with frescoes of this kind that look more like modern art paintings than classic portraits of saints. Guests will be surprised by how unique that humble place is. Nowadays monastery complex has a lovely olive grove and a visitor's place.

 

ZABLJAK CRNOJEVICA (ŽABLJAK CRNOJEVIĆA)

m The Fortress Zabljak Crnojevica 001

The next stop will be Zabljak Crnojevica which is located 20 km far away from the city center. Žabljak (with the addition of “Crnojević, which should not be confused with the city near the Durmitor mountain) is a well-preserved medieval fortress with a small village below it on the edge of Skadar Lake. The Žabljak fortress as we see it today is the work of Ivan Crnojević from the middle of the 15th century when he turned it into his main residence. However, neither its mighty walls nor its excellent position could save it from the relentless onslaught of the Ottomans, and in 1478 it was captured by Sultan Mohammed the Conqueror. After the Turks finally lost the castle in the war of 1878, Žabljak's defensive role disappeared and it gradually turned into a ruin.

m View from Zabljak Crnojevica

Guests will hike a little up to the fortress where the view of Skadar Lake is impressive and worth a visit. Lake channels and shores with traditional boats make the whole scenery very scenic, like part of some movie where time stopped.

 

RIVER CIJEVNA WATERFALL (RIJEKA CIJEVNA VODOPAD)

m Visit Cijevna Waterfalls with MH Travel 001

In 15 minutes of ride from Zabljak Crnojevica, we will be at our next destination, the Cijevna waterfalls, located on the beautiful hidden river that will delight you with its small canyon. River Cijevna does not flow through the city center but is very near.

m Canyon of River Cijevna 001

The river is just a few meters wide but thanks to its rocks and sunbeam reflection, it has impressive indigo-blue clear water. There is a restaurant nearby where you will see a variety of animals such as rabbits, ducks, turkeys, and geese that often walk around tables asking to feed them, which is always fun. From this place, you can see Montenegrin's famous vineyard “Plantaže”, one of the largest in Europe where we will go next.

 

WINE CELLARS SIPCANIK (VINSKI PODRUM ŠIPČANIK)

m Vineyard Plantaze

Visit the wine cellar Šipčanik is a unique experience of the impressive ambiance. Guests will have a guided tour through cellars while tasting wine, enjoying the unforgettable scents and tastes like the "bouquet" of wine Vranac,the national pride of Montenegro. Here one can also buy bottles of wine at discount prices.

m Wine cellar Sipcanik

The cellar has the shape of a tunnel, 356 meters long, with an average width of 13.5 meters, 7 meters high. The air temperature ranges between 17 and 19 degrees, with 70-80% humidity. Wine is kept and aged in this cellar across nearly 7,000 square meters, in almost ideal and fully natural conditions in terms of climate and technology. Two million liters of wine age and mature in wooden barrels and bottles. The cellar includes a wine shop with 28,000 bottles of wines up to ten years old, a tasting room of 200 square meters, and a specialized shop. The tasting room has 50 seat capacity thus being an ideal venue for meetings, seminars, conferences, and presentations.

m Montenegrin wine Vranac

Šipčanik wine cellar and a sommelier tasting are based on the autochthonous Montenegrin varieties Vranac, Krstač, and Kratošija. Wine tasting is only for guests over 18 years of age. After visiting Sipcanik we will drive back to the city center of Podgorica where we will end the tour, and then back to Budva and Kotor.
