About the city

Podgorica is a city built at the confluence of several rivers that have determined its development over the centuries. Today's appearance of the city is the result of different historical periods, from the ancient settlement of Duklja to the modern urban center. Unlike coastal and mountain destinations, Podgorica is best known through the everyday life of its inhabitants, promenades, squares and cafes. The bridges over the Moraca River have become one of the recognizable symbols of the city. Nearby are the remains of ancient Duklja, one of the most important archaeological sites in the country. Skadar Lake, the largest lake in the Balkans and a national park, is located just a few kilometers from the city center. Podgorica is an important transport point that connects the north, the coast and the central part of the country. Despite its rapid development, the city still preserves numerous green spaces and resting places along the rivers. Its greatest value lies in its location, which allows you to reach the mountains, the sea or the lake from the city in less than an hour.

Moraca River
Rivers

Moraca River

The Morača River is one of the most important rivers of central Montenegro and one of the most recognizable natural symbols of Podgorica. It springs at the foot of the Kapa Moračka mountain, in the area north of Kolašin, at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. From its source, it continues through mountain areas and deep canyons, passes through Kolašin and Podgorica, and then flows into Lake Skadar. With a length of about 113 kilometers, Morača connects the high mountain areas of central Montenegro with the largest lake in the Balkans.
