The living streets sit below the ruins. Bar tourism distinguishes the archaeological area from the shops and restaurants beneath it. Our suggestion: decide on the ruins ticket before adding an unplanned browse outside the gates.

Local tip
The palace houses local history. Bar tourism describes the seaside palace as home to the Homeland Museum. Our suggestion: use the Bar palace destination rather than confusing it with royal museums in Cetinje.
