Ostrog Monastery, 4 Hours With Pickup

Ostrog Monastery tour runs through Fine-Car Doo. Rated 4.9 across 37 reviews. Runs 4 hours. From $136.

Overview

This half-day trip from Podgorica takes you to Ostrog Monastery, a monastery built into the rock face. A driver-guide collects you from your hotel or an agreed pickup point in Podgorica, and the tour runs for four hours, departing at 09:00. Transport is private, so only your own group travels in the vehicle, and WiFi is available on board.

On the drive out, the guide gives context about the area, its history and the settlements you pass, which is something travellers mention again and again in their reviews. At the monastery the guide covers its history, with freedom to look around at your own pace. The setting itself, perched high in the mountains, is the main draw, and several reviewers described the visit as peaceful regardless of their own religion.

Some trips include a stop for coffee or a drink at a restaurant near the monastery, with reviewers praising both the coffee and a local raspberry drink. At the end you are returned to your pickup point.
