Itinerary

1

3
The cathedral
The vast Resurrection cathedral and its controversial frescoes.

Most travellers change buses in Podgorica; this walk shows what they miss. Cross the Millennium Bridge, wander the Ottoman lanes and clock tower of Stara Varoš, see the Ribnica river confluence and finish under the frescoed dome of the Cathedral of the Resurrection — the capital, decoded by a local. Two and a half flat hours split between Ottoman lanes, riverbanks and the cathedral — comfortable in any footwear and rich in the everyday detail bigger sights skip. Perfect for a layover between bus connections, or for an honest look at how Montenegrins actually live.

Worth every penny

Loved wandering the stone lanes with someone who actually grew up here. The fortress views over the bay were breathtaking and the pace let us take photos.
