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, […]
A RELAXING WEEKEND IN VERMOSH
Last month we spent a weekend in Vermosh, a charming little village in Albania, close to the Montenegrin border. Vermosh is a real paradise, first of all for hikers, but also for nature lovers who are interested in a quiet and relaxing stay in the wild nature of the Albanian Alps. And it is so […]
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, […]
WALKING THROUGH THE PARKS OF PODGORICA II
The most beautiful parks of Podgorica can be found downtown, i.e. in the city center, along the Morača and Ribnica rivers. This neighborhood is historically known as Nova Varoš („New Town“) and its centers on the large, tree-lined Independence Square (Trg nezavisnosti). In this district you can find the Parliament, the Central Bank, the […]
THE BEAUTY OF KARST IN MONTENEGRO
Although many people believe that karst areas are ugly, harsh and colorless, I have always been fascinated by the dramatic karst mountains and stone deserts in Montenegro. If you are curious and open for new impressions, you will find that karst has created wonderful landscapes with lovely spots hidden from the view by rugged stones, […]
A ROAD TRIP THROUGH THE WETLANDS OF SKADAR LAKE
Early spring is the most beautiful time to make a road trip through the wetlands of Skadar Lake. From time to time, the water level may be quite high in that period. It is a special experience to see the flooded areas in the northern part of the Lake. The landscapes are fantastic and the […]
THE ABANDONED VILLAGES OF GORNJI ŠESTANI
We have travelled many times along the western shore of Skadar Lake, from Virpazar to the Stegvaš pass, but we have never explored the villages of Gornji Šestani. Do you know where the Šestani area is situated? I am sure that many tourists, expats, and even locals, do not know that it is a sub-region […]
