Cycling day trip from Cetinje to Sutomore

Ready for an epic ride from history-steeped Cetinje down to the sunny Adriatic shores of Sutomore? You’ll kick off in Montenegro’s old royal capital—famous for its charming streets, mountain views, and cultural treasures—then set off south across a diverse landscape.

Expect a solid challenge: about 72 km with plenty of climbing (over 2,300 meters up!) and some seriously rewarding descents. The ride takes you from mountain highs (max elevation around 750 meters) with panoramic vistas, down winding roads and through quiet villages, before a fast drop toward the coast.

Most of this route is paved or asphalt, cruising along mostly peaceful roads with only brief stretches on busier thoroughfares and some rougher patches here and there. Don’t worry—nothing a well-prepped touring or gravel bike can’t handle.

Roll into Sutomore, where sandy beaches and the warm Adriatic are waiting—perfect for a post-ride swim and a seaside meal. It’s a tough, beautiful adventure that takes you from Montenegrin highland history to a classic Mediterranean beach town in a single day!
