Ostrog Orthodox Monastery

you are in the area, I definitely recommend a visit. It’s best to go early in the morning, as it gets very crowded later on. There are two parking areas available – one at the base and another higher up for cars. The place itself is beautiful and has a spiritual atmosphere, though it can get quite busy with many visitors.

A trip to Montenegro should include a visit to this incredible Monastery. Many go as a Pilgrimage, but no matter why you choose to visit, it's can experience not to miss. There are a couple parking lots. The upper lot is the best option, but still requires over 150 steps to climb.

I know that everyone is going for a different problems they might face, whether is health or other issues. But the negativity the people are bringing is just not right. We are all there to find out peace. I have to say at the moments I did. I enjoyed my barefoot walking on the stairs from the parking to the monastery. At the monastery as well. But I had to isolate mentally in order to find the peace. The people are yelling and annoyed by everything. Like, all right people, we are all waiting in line for the same purpose, that's why we are there. There is no need to skipping the line and playing smart. Regarding the sleeping, yes it is on the ground and there are a lot, but a lot of blankets enough for everyone. Don't grab it, don't push it. There is no your space or my space for sleeping. It is open for everyone and It is just a corner where you need to calm and huddle and nap, you are not in a hotel there to sleep in luxury and take the whole space. But intolerance was way over the head to many people,even to the guards that are working there which are constantly yelling. It doesn't matter if there are many people or not every day, respect to each other, helping around, navigating and maybe creating some rules might help. Paint some lines for sleeping, where people need to make open space to the toilet or the water, because skipping on the blankets makes them mad. And please oh please clean those toilets. The toilets are so far away, but the container trash is so close that people are practically sleeping in front of them. It is a holy place, I would love to go again, maybe at different period of the year (definitely not summer again)

A beautiful monastery in the middle of a mountain. The walk up is a big one and i would definitely recommend bringing water and good shoes on a hot day. We waited for about 10 minutes to get into the monastery itself and we had to wear a little piece of clothing to cover our knees. It is more than worth it to visit this place!

Not worth the stair climbing and the walk. The building is kind of impressive and the view is nice, especially from the top balcony. The parking near the monastery is only for disabled people and (at least that’s what the sign says; we were not allowed there). So, if the general parking is far, you have to climb a lot of unsafe and unstable stairs.

A wonderful place with great Divine Grace. I arrived at this monastery on a Monday morning at around 06:15, I did not have access to the adjacent parking lot, so I parked on the side of the road like many others. The service had already started, the crowd of people were waiting in line, the access to the cell of the holy relics of St. Hierarch Basil was quite fast, after which I visited the church, which was an incredibly beautiful experience. I recommend visiting this wonderful place.

Very unique monastery carved into the rock/placed against it. Road up to there is a rollercoaster with lots of cars going up and down one tight lane. So if you are not sure in your driving skills rather go with agency that offers rides. There was a long line of people waiting to get tickets so i did not go inside. You can’t see whole see everything for free on the outside. If you are not dressed properly they provide you with long skirts.

This is incredible and breathtaking place. While you drive up to the rocks you do t see monastery at all - you will see it as you arrive your destination. This place is so different and sacred and you feel like Holy Ghost is near you, at least I felt very special and unique there don’t know why. This place has something it is magical
