Podgorica Walking Tour

Podgorica, Montenegro

Why Walk Podgorica

Podgorica sits at the confluence of the Moraca and Ribnica rivers, surrounded by mountains and Lake Skadar. The city was heavily bombed in WWII and rebuilt in Yugoslav-era style, but pockets of the old Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian town survive. The Millennium Bridge, a modern cable-stayed span over the Moraca, has become the city's symbol. Most visitors pass through en route to the coast or mountains.
