Why visit

Choose Njegoš Mausoleum because it adds dramatic stair approach, monumental sculpture and crypt and summit panorama in clear weather to a Lovćen itinerary. It is most valuable when the day is arranged around nearby stops rather than treated as an isolated detour.

Visitor tips

1
Visit early or later in the day for cooler conditions, easier parking and a calmer atmosphere.
2
Combine this stop with other places around Lovćen rather than adding unnecessary cross-country driving on the same day.
3
Keep some cash available, protect valuables, and use only clearly authorised parking, guides, boats or activity providers.
4
Do not follow an automatic road route to a mountain, boat or trail destination unless the final entrance, trailhead or terminal has been verified.
