Watch Out For

⚠️Stara Varoš

📋 The Bottom Line

Podgorica is Montenegro's administrative capital (though most tourists go to the coast). The city center is relatively small and manageable, rebuilt after WWII with wider socialist-era streets. However, infrastructure is still developing, sidewalk quality varies, and public transport is limited. Montenegrin culture is very family-friendly and relaxed. The real attraction is nature - the nearby Morača River and Skadar Lake are beautiful for day trips.
