Best things to do in (or from) Danilovgrad, Montenegro

1. Ostrog Monastery

Ostrog Monastery is one of the most important monasteries in Montenegro, which is also evident from the crowds that make pilgrimages there. The journey on a narrow road is somehow challenging but tolerable. You can use the stairs through the forest up to the monastery or drive up by car. The view is absolutely stunning! Many believers even spend the night in the monastery and walk barefoot on the way there.

2. Orthodox Monastery Zhdrebaonik

This is an ordinary monastery but due to its location, it offers a wonderful view. If you want to visit the monastery without many visitors it is best to be there at 8 o'clock in the morning, otherwise, it will be crowded in the staircase of the monastery. You don’t need too much time to stay here, so it is recommended as a side trip when you’re in Danilovgrad.

3. Dani Divljeg Sipka Zagarac

This is an event where you can try authentic Montenegrin products for free, as well as to get acquainted with the natural beauty of Zagarac, Danilovgrad. As part of the event, a fair of domestic products and souvenirs, a revival bicycle race, an exhibition of old-timers are organized, and everything is accompanied by a rich cultural and entertainment program that is suitable for all ages. These events are organized in late October or early November, depending on weather conditions.

4. Farma Magaraca Martinici 

A very beautiful and well-groomed donkey farm. When you visit here, be sure to bring small local apples or carrots with you, as it is customary to feed the donkeys and they come out to greet you. There is also the possibility of buying lavender sachets, produced on-site as well as creams made from donkey milk.
