1. Dajbabe Monastery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 25 reviews
This Orthodox monastery is dedicated to the Ascension of the Virgin, and it was erected in 1897. The Monastery was built within a natural cave, which was later expanded thus creating the form of a church with auxiliary chapels. The interior of the Monastery is adorned with frescos painted by monk Simeon Popovic.

We visited Lake Skadar and stopped off at various view points. The best being skadar view point (pinpointed on Google maps) as you get incredible views of the famous horse shoe bend in the river. We were there at mid day on a Thursday and we saw a hand full of people whilst driving through to each view point on our way to Boat Milica for our boat tour around the lake (definitely book with these guys they were awesome!) We drive through the national park and stopped off at various intervals, all views were stunningly beautiful and it was so relaxing to just sit in the sun and take in the view. One thing of note if driving through the park is that we noticed most drivers in Montenegro do not like to move over when crossing other cars on narrow roads. This can be quite nerve wracking when on a mountain road with minimal barriers so just be aware that you may have to squeeze through some uncomfortable gaps if someone comes the opposite way! This national park is truly beautiful and if you ate travelling in Montenegro it is a place you simply must see! ♡

This is an astonishing building, given that it was built as recently as the 1990s. From a distance it could easily be hundreds of years old. As you enter be prepared to have your breath taken away. It has an interior unlike anything I have seen before - quite beautiful. If visiting the city, don't pass up the chance to see this landmark.
4. Moraca River
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 192 reviews
The symbol of Podgorica and also the greatest river flowing through the Capital. Its deep riverbed, large rocks and icy temperatures are just some of the main characteristics of this mountain river. On its way through the Capital, Moraca also carved out many caves. It is 113 kilometres long, and it runs from north to south, flowing into the Skadar Lake.

5. 13 Jul-Plantaze Vineyard

The Šipčanik winery is inside of a Yugoslavia era aircraft hangar that was partially destroyed by the NATO bombing in 1999. From 1999 to 2005 this building was left empty. The next year, the major winery of Podgorica, took over this place. Plantaže which is the largest single site vineyard in Europe turned this former aircraft hanger into Sipcanik winery. We made reservations in advance, but still needed to tell the people what we wanted when we got there. This was not an issue though as we were able to get the tour we wanted and were the only guest in the wine cellar. We booked an hour long tour that cost us 17 Euros a piece. Our Sommelier, Jovana, did a fantastic job. She showed us the comparison of the city to all of the vineyards of Plantaže on a model that they had inside. She also gave us a tour around the cellar to show us the oak barrels and their innox containers for storing wine. She explained to us the aging process behind wine and how the climate and soil of Podgorica allows them to grow their wine grapes all year long. She also showed us how to properly hold a wine glass and look at its color against a white surface. She showed us the proper way to smell the wine and try to guess what kinds of fruits are in it. They also provided goat cheese, cow cheese, bread and their own olive oil to pair with he 5 wines we sampled.
6. Ribnica Bridge (Most na Ribnici)

Just south of downtown to reach the Old Ribnica Bridge. This bridge was built when Montenegro was under the Roman Empire and is the oldest bridge in Podgorica. Today you can see that it had major reconstruction when they were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century. The water was a gorgeous blue. The Ribnica river which flows under this bridge flows right into the Moraca river. When you are here, you can spend time just marveling at the bridge on your feet, or having a seat and really soaking it in. There is blue rushing water that goes under the bridge and there is plenty of land to walk around and enjoy the area.

On the shores of Moraca, there is a monument erected to honour the famous Russian poet, theatre and film actor and writer Vladimir Visotsky, who resided in Podgorica while working on a film for the erstwhile Titograd TV station. He expressed his love for Montenegro in his poem ''For the Montenegrins'', and this is his only monument outside the borders of the former Soviet Union.
