Podgorica — Montenegro's Underrated Capital

Podgorica — Montenegro's Underrated Capital

Montenegro 📅 10 Sep 2023 ⏱ 1 min read 👁 23

Podgorica is one of Europe's least-visited capital cities but it has a raw, authentic charm that more polished destinations lack.

Podgorica rarely makes anyone's travel bucket list, but Montenegro's capital deserves more credit than it gets. The city sits at the confluence of two rivers — the Morača and Ribnica — and the canyon of the Morača running through the city is genuinely spectacular.

The old Ottoman town of Stara Varoš, the massive Christ the Saviour Cathedral, and the vibrant café culture of the new city centre all make for a compelling half-day visit at minimum.

Podgorica is often skipped but it has a genuinely interesting character — the river canyons right through the city are spectacular.
