Itinerary
-
1
Lower Monastery
The Holy Trinity church and the pilgrim route.
-
2
Upper Monastery
The cave churches in the cliff, St. Basil’s relics and the spring.
Ostrog is barely an hour from the capital, making this the easiest way to see Montenegro’s holiest site: a guided half-day covering the Lower Monastery, the pilgrim path, and the astonishing Upper Monastery pressed into the vertical cliff — home of St. Basil’s relics — with time for the spring and the views. At 4.5 hours with hotel pickup, it is the rare wonder that fits before an afternoon flight. Dress modestly — shoulders and knees covered — and expect a short uphill walk between the two monasteries, where pilgrims and photographers share the same path.

Absolutely loved it
The fortress views over the bay were breathtaking and the pace let us take photos. Loved wandering the stone lanes with someone who actually grew up here. Our guide brought the old town's history to life with stories you won't find in a guidebook.
Really enjoyable
Loved wandering the stone lanes with someone who actually grew up here. Interesting history, but the walking pace was slower than I'd like.
