Itinerario

1. Our meeting point is at the centre of Podgorica – Independence Square (formerly Square of the Republic), at the fountain. In case of rain, the guide will be positioned by the Societe Generale Bank, under the eaves surrounding the square. We will pass by Municipality building, briefly stop in front of the statue of Marko Miljanov, one the famous generals and writers from the end of the 19 century.

   10 min

2. From the Bokeska street, we will pass by the National Theatre, and continue towards the statue of Petar II Petrovic Njegos, a famous prince-bishop, writer and philosopher.

   15 min

3. We continue our journey via one of the bridges over Moraca River, which flows through Podgorica.

   10 min

4. Our tour leads us over the Moraca river, via one of the pedestrian bridges, and from here we will have an excellent view of the Millennium Bridge, one of the recognizable landmarks of Podgorica.

   5 min

5. We will also make a brief stop at the statue of Vladimir Vysotsky, a Russian poet, singer and songwriter, who died young, but who lived in Podgorica for a while.

   10 min

6. We will cross the river Moraca again, at Blazo Jovanovic Bridge and continue towards Sastavci (or Skaline), at the confluence of the rivers Ribnica and Moraca.

   5 min

7. Sastavci or Skaline is a very picturesque site, but admittedly uncared for. Above the confluence stand barely visible ruins of the fortress of Ribnica. These are known as Nemanjin grad, as it was here that Stefan Nemanja who subsequently founded Nemanjic dynasty, was born. We will cross an old picturesque stone bridge on our way to Stara Varos, the oldest preserved quarter of Podgorica, dating back to the Ottoman rule.

   10 min

8. At Stara Varos we will briefly stop at the Starodoganjska Mosque, built in 15th century and for a long time maintained by the traders from the nearby shops.

   10 min

10. On our way back we will pass by King Nikola monument, a fairly standard heroic equestrian monument, located within King’s Park. It was erected in 2006, on the Day of Podgorica’s Liberation in WWII, on a plateau opposite to the national Parliament.

About Podgorica

Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro, a compact city of bridges, rivers and Ottoman quarters, close to Lake Skadar and the mountains.

Podgorica stands on a plain where the Morača and Ribnica rivers meet, ringed by mountains, and it is the political and commercial capital of Montenegro. Much of the city was rebuilt after the Second World War, and it was called Titograd from 1946 to 1992. The old Ottoman quarter, Stara Varoš, keeps a clock tower and a small mosque, the Millennium Bridge crosses the Morača, and the large Orthodox Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ is one of the city's best-known buildings.
