They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder , but what if it is in the heart of the narrator?

Podgorica is for sure at the very bottom of the “Most Beautiful Capitals of Europe” list. It is not the biggest, nor the city with the highest number of citizens, and it is not even the capital city for an entire century. We can say it is unofficially city with the most coffee shops per capita, what is great for tourism and us 🙂

Podgorica is a capital after the Second World War.

Heavily bombarded by Allies during the World War Two it was completely razed to the ground. For that reason today’s architecture origin mostly from the communist era, with couple of modern buildings built-in the last decade. Also, there are small number of buildings from the era of Ottoman empire. That you can see along the walking trough the town: Clock Tower, The Old Bridge over Ribnica, Old Ottoman neighborhood and Ribnica fortress, Nemanjin town, church of St George. If you like recreation nice place is to visit hill Gorica. Actually that is how Podgorica got the name Pod (under) Gorica. On the button of hill is church St George the oldest church, but what is interesting there is a belief that under the church is secret tunnel which connect this place with Moraca river. Is this just an urban legend or story for tourism choose by yourself .

While in big cities life is usually very fast. Always craving , always in a hurry, in Podgorica, we do not rush anywhere. For sure we always find time for one more coffee, additional chat with friend or colleague. While main topics are usually current political news from country and rest of the world mixed with inevitable gossiping.

Chill out and take a bear or a coffee.

Coffee shops are crowded during breaks, usually from 11am to 13pm, visit Bokeska street. This is something that you can not see in many capitals. Nicely dressed, beautiful girls and tallest men in Europe chatting and drinking coffee, completely relaxed and joyful. This strong interaction connection between people dates from the period of socialism and still stay strong.

You can visit all important things in Podgorica walking for about two hours to three maximum. But the true spirit of the town you will actually meet by only sitting in some of numerous cafe bars . You will maybe find some inspiration in all that easy-going life and in a short time you will definitely start to worry less and to find one more excuse to stay longer in the bars.

We have very great quality of food with reasonable price. Please check on TripAdvisor and choose one of numerous restaurants. What we recommend is Strudla, Pod Volat (with traditional food), Porto (luxury), Green garden, 100 Manira.
