Restaurants fill the ground floors on both banks of this two-arched stone bridge, and they make the best lunch stop inside the national park. Plan to stay longer than the bridge itself needs.

Visiting

Two arches of local limestone cross slow green water in the middle of the village. The arches are reflected in the still water, and that is the photograph to take.

The village was once Montenegro's capital and its busiest river port. Today eighty-four people live here.

Know before you goPrince Danilo built a small single-storey house called Mostina beside the bridge, and it still stands on the bank.
