Podgorica: A Quick Guide to Montenegro's Capital
Podgorica is Montenegro's administrative capital and transport hub rather than a tourist showpiece, but if you pass through, a handful of sights make a pleasant couple of hours, often combined with a visit to Ostrog Monastery.
What to see
Stroll the leafy banks where the Ribnica meets the Morača river, see the old Ottoman-era Stara Varoš quarter with its clock tower, and visit the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, a vast modern Orthodox church covered in gilded frescoes.
Using Podgorica as a base
The capital sits within easy reach of Skadar Lake, Ostrog Monastery and the northern mountains, so it often appears as a stop on longer day trips from the coast rather than a destination in itself.
