Travel guide

Understand

Nikšić is a quiet, low-key industrial town that will hardly be on any visitor's itinerary, unless one happens to know someone living or have business matters there. However, it can make for a pleasant stop-over for a day, especially when coming from the very touristy coast further south. Have lunch at one of the restaurants at the main town square, and watch locals chatting the day away while enjoying Nikšićko beer.

Free maps of the city, containing a lot of useful information, are available at the entrance of the bus station.

Do

Football: FK Sutjeska Nikšić play soccer in First League, the top tier. Their City Stadium (capacity 5200) is 1 km north of city centre.

Buy

Around the city centre, there are a few clothing shops and – strangely – not less than six or seven shops selling only sneakers. A somewhat bigger congregation of different stores can be found in a small next to the main square.

Drink

One of the most popular beers in Montenegro, Nikšićko beer, is brewed in Nikšić. It can be a good choice compared to more expensive imported beers.

Around the city centre, you can find many shabby-looking bars that seem to be popular with elderly local residents.

Connect

Most restaurants offer free WiFi for patrons.

Go next

Kotor is one of the country's most famous destinations; getting there takes two hours by road. Podgorica, Montenegro's capital, is mostly modern but with a small old quarter. Trebinje in Herzegovina is just an hour away, across the border.
