Natural and Cultural Attractions
Nikšić is famous for its “sea”—the artificial Lake Krupac, a favorite local spot. Moreover, the establishment of Lake Fest boosted the popularity of Bedem Fest, held at the Ottoman fortress Bedem, attracting tourists with rock and alternative music. This music scene contributes to Nikšić‘s nickname as “the city of beer, steel, and RnR.” Indeed, the city was an industrial center in ex-Yugoslavia, home to major steel production and Nikšićko Pivo, a renowned Montenegrin beer.
