Podgorica & Inland Montenegro Holidays

Rebuilt following its destruction during the Second World War, Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, is a vibrant, modern city, boasting laidback charm and eclectic architecture, as well as a wide range of museums and parks, and a lively café culture.

The city still bears some traces of its fascinating past, passing through the hands of the Romans, Turks and Austro-Hungarians over the centuries. The vestiges of its Ottoman era can be seen in Stara Varos, the city’s oldest neighbourhood. Look out for the clock tower still standing in the main square and the impressive Osmanagic Mosque. During your visit, don’t miss the picturesque old Turkish bridge straddling the Ribnica River and the ruined fortress perched on the hill above. To unwind, check out the plentiful bars and restaurants in downtown Nova Varos district, offering delicious local cuisine.

Surrounding Podgorica, find the beautiful mountainous areas of Kolasin, with a range of alpine activities that you can get involved in, including skiing, hiking and biking, surrounded by stunning landscapes. Danilovgrad is another popular find on the outskirts of Podgorica, home to the Ostrog Monastery, a major pilgrimage site, Orthodox Monastery Zhdrebaonik and Cathedral of St. Tekla, a ruined historic church of the Byzantine period.
