01Parking for the museums and Cetinje Monastery
The tourist parking lot by Cipur is next to the museum complex and Cetinje Monastery. From the parking lot, it is about 100 meters to the King Nikola Museum, Biljarda and the Ethnographic Museum, about 150 meters to the monastery and about 250 meters to the Government House. There is also a tourist information point at the parking lot.
02Parking for Njegoseva Street
Trg umjetnika is a parking lot for Njegoseva Street, at a separate location from the tourist parking by Cipur. It is also known as Studentski trg. These two names refer to the same parking lot.
03Parking at Balsica Pazar
There are two parking stretches along Balsica Pazar, between Njegoseva and Bajova streets. The northern and southern stretches serve visits to the market and shopping in this part of Cetinje.
04Parking by the Municipality
The parking by the Municipality is on Bajova Street, at its junction with Vojvode Batrica Martinovica Street. Bajova is labeled Baja Pivljanina on maps. The parking lot is at this junction, separate from the municipal building's address.
05Parking by the Sports Center
The Sports Center has separate parking areas in front of and behind the building. The front parking lot is on the side facing Grahovska Street and the roundabout, while the rear parking lot is on the north side of the center, with access from Vojvode Boza Street.
06Parking at Lipa Cave
Lipa Cave parking is on the visitor plateau in Lipa Dobrska, outside Cetinje's city center. Transport to the cave departs from this plateau and returns to the same place. The organizer requires arrival at the parking lot at least 30 minutes before the tour departs.
Parking charges, penalty notices and towing
The legal fine for parking in a prohibited place or obstructing traffic ranges from €100 to €300. A penalty notice imposes the minimum amount in that range. It is separate from a charge for unpaid zone parking.
Paying a penalty notice
If you accept responsibility, the regular procedure allows you to pay half the fine within eight days of accepting the notice. A €100 penalty would therefore cost €50.
An exception applies to a person without permanent or temporary residence in Montenegro, or someone leaving the country, when the competent authority has reasonable grounds to suspect that they will evade enforcement. In that case, two-thirds of the fine must be paid without delay. Use the amount and payment instructions on your own notice.
If your vehicle is no longer where you left it, call Komunalno Cetinje on +382 41 238 225 for information about the parking service. Ask for the responsible service's contact details and the vehicle's location before going to collect it.

Questions about parking in Cetinje
Is parking at Lipa Cave charged separately?
Parking is included in the price of a Lipa Cave tour ticket. This applies to parking for cave visitors, not to the city parking lots in Cetinje.
Which navigation destination should I choose for Lipa Cave?
The organizer recommends the destination "Lipa cave parking" and the approach via Belveder. Searching only for "Lipa cave" may lead you along a different, poorer road. The destination should be the plateau for parking and buying tickets.
Do I need an advance reservation for parking and a Lipa Cave tour?
No advance reservation is required. Tickets are bought at the ticket office on the parking plateau and, according to the organizer's published instructions, are not available to buy online.
