Tourism Njegusi

Njeguši is a village of historical and touristic significance located at the heart of a region of karst limestone that extends through Montenegro. The name “Njeguši” first appeared in historical records in 1420. Owing to its strategic location, the village served as an important trade link between Kotor and the Montenegrin hinterland.

The village is also known as the birthplace of the Petrović-Njegoš dynasty. In the hamlet of Erakovići stands the house where Petar II Petrović Njegoš was born, which was built in 1779. In 1973, the house was converted into a memorial museum preserving ethnographic artifacts, traditional costumes, historic weaponry and portraits of the Petrović-Njegoš dynasty, offering an insight into the traditional way of life and Montenegro’s rich cultural and historical heritage.

Njeguši preserves a rich tradition, authentic architecture and distinctive gastronomy, especially the renowned Njeguši prosciutto and cheese. Visitors are drawn to its unspoilt nature, panoramic views of Mt. Lovćen and the Bay of Kotor, as well as the hospitality of the local population.
