Our guests consider this trip to be the best in our offer, so that's the reason we named it this way.

From the Brajici viewpoint, take in panoramic views of the coast before heading inland to Cetinje, the Old Royal Capital, with the option to visit the Monastery of Saint Peter of Cetinje, though this may slightly extend the tour.

In Njeguši, a charming mountain village, you can enjoy a traditional lunch featuring local smoked ham and cheese. Then, descend the legendary serpentine road, where each turn reveals a new breathtaking angle of Boka Bay, one of the world’s most beautiful fjords.
