It is true, Podgorica doesn’t have the best reputation as a city destination in Europe. And a lot of blogs about the best things to do in Podgorica mostly describe day trips or activities out of the city. But Podgorica is an interesting city to explore. Even if you have just a few hours to spend, it […]

GORICA HILL – PODGORICA’S LUNGS
One of the places I like most in Podgorica is Gorica Forest Park or Gorica Hill, located only a few minutes’ walk from the center of the city. It is a favorite recreational site for locals and tourists, a great getaway from the summer heat, a place where you can walk in the shade of […]
A JEEP TOUR TO FIVE MOUNTAIN LAKES OF BJELASICA
A few weeks ago we were invited by our friends from RAMS Travel in Bijelo Polje to participate in a promotional trip concerning the implementation of the project „STIN – Sustainable Tourism in North Montenegro“, which is funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Goverment of Montenegro. The project is implemented by Trip […]
AN ADVENTUROUS ROAD TRIP THROUGH PIPERI
In the immediate surroundings of Podgorica is a mountain region called Piperi, which is mainly unknown to expats and tourists. Why unknown? I could mention several reasons: the roads are narrow and bumpy, without guardrails and absolutely not recommendable for people who suffer from fear of heights. Moreover, it is difficult to find your way, […]
3 AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN FORTRESSES IN MONTENEGRO
Have you ever thought of exploring the old Austro-Hungarian fortresses in Montenegro? Many of these fortresses are located along the Montenegrin Coast and most of them can be found around the Bay of Boka Kotorska. The majority of these buildings is abandoned and dilapidated, but some of them are well-preserved and worth visiting. And of […]
A GASTRO TOUR OFF THE BEATEN PATH

The tour was organized by Sabina and Musa Ramović, owners of RAMS Explorer from Bijelo Polje, an agency that is promoting – among other activities – rural tourism and […]
EXPLORING LAKE SKADAR: KALUĐEROVO OKO
Although I thought that I had already seen the most interesting sites in the surroundings of Podgorica and around Lake Skadar, last weekend I discovered another natural phenomenon close to the Lake: Kaluđerovo oko. I got curious after having read an article about this beautiful spot, published two years ago by Caffe Montenegro (http://www.caffemontenegro.me/index.php/vijesti/866-a-de-ti-je-ovo ). […]

MONTENEGRO OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
The last few years of our life were not easy: the Covid pandemic made it impossible to travel – even within the borders of Montenegro, and my mobility problems, which were concluded with spinal surgery, seriously limited my freedom of movement. But I recovered and now I am on the road again! By the way, […]
HIGHLIGHTS OF BIJELO POLJE
After I posted my article about the International Slow Food Fair in Bijelo Polje, I really felt the need to write another post about the highlights of this beautiful town, as it has a lot to offer to tourists and other visitors. Although Bijelo Polje seems to be somewhat off the track for those who […]
