Explore the city, its dynamic history and present life with one of our knowledgable guides. Our guide will be dedicated to you only, so you will be able to choose the pace that suits you the most, and ask all questions that would enable you to learn your way around the city.
Your guide will meet you at the centre of Podgorica – Trg Nezavisnosti - Independence Square (formerly Square of the Republic), at the fountain. In case of rain, the guide will be positioned by the Podgoricka Bank, under the eaves surrounding the square.
We will start towards the monument of Marko Miljanov and the Bokeska street, stop by the National Theatre, and continue towards the statue of Petar II Petrovic Njegos, a famous prince-bishop, writer and philosopher, situated in the park opposite the theatre.
We continue the tour via one of the bridges over Moraca River, which flows through Podgorica, and will see the Millenium Bridge, one of Podgorica's landmarks.
We will pass by the monument of Vladimir Vysotsky, a Russian poet, singer and songwriter, who lived in Podgorica for a while.
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.
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.
At Stara Varos we will briefly stop at the Starodoganjska Mosque, which was built in the 15th century and for a long time maintained by the traders from the nearby shops.
Sahat Kula (The Clock Tower) is one of the important landmarks of Podgorica. It stands at the edge of the Stara Varos, facing the socialist apartment blocks across the street. Built in the 18th century by Adzi Pasha Osmanagic.
Located on the corner of Njegoseva street, it portraits the famous Russian poet Pushkin reading poetry to his wife Natalija Gonchareva. After a brief photo stop at this monument, we will return to Independence Square.
Starting point: Centre of Podgorica – Independence Square (formerly Square of the Republic), at the fountain.
