I came back to my accomodation to relax and then during have my dinner and drink some beer in Knez Mihalova street. After going out had began raining fortunately I brought an umbrella. The center was not full of people like the previous night, but still enjoyable even if it was raining. I went to an area of bars situated around Cetinjiska street. It was approximately midnight when I came back to my accomodation. It stopped raining and alone I walked through what seems dangerous but honestly I found completely safe.

I did not have any problem on the way back to my accomodation (actually I have never had in any of my trips).
It is not a large museum it has mostly object, clothes, flags, stamps. The former Yugoslavia during the second world war, and the period under Tito its lifelong president.
