Often overlooked, Podgorica offers a unique blend of old and new as Montenegro’s capital city. While its modern skyline reflects its status as the country’s administrative hub, history enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the ruins of Duklja, an ancient Roman city, and the Ottoman-era Clock Tower. The Moraca River winds through the city, creating scenic spots like the Millennium Bridge and Sastavci, a tranquil riverside area. Podgorica’s vibrant café culture and local wineries provide a taste of Montenegro’s contemporary charm, while its central location makes it an excellent base for exploring the surrounding mountains, wineries and national parks.
