Podgorica Attractions, Montenegro
Podgorica, sited on the Morače River, is Montenegro’s administrative, agricultural and political centre – and, since recently gaining its independence, also the country’s capital.
Formerly known as Titograd, Podgorica is a dynamically developing modern city – without the historic past and sights which the old capital, Cetinje, possesses.
As a rule tourists only pass through the city, as by virtue of its location, it has always served as a cross-road for the east-west and north-south traffic. Podgorica links Montenegro’s popular tourist areas together, namely – the seaside, the Dumitor Range, the Tara Canyon and the popular Lake Skodra – all of which are nearby.
The Sahat Kula (a clock-tower), one of the remaining historical structures in the old city, is also its symbol. Hercegovačka Street is the city’s bustling pedestrian mall.
