Montenegro In Your Pocket
Named after the forbidding view of towering black mountains that the trembling Venetians spotted from their ships, Montenegro is a tiny but very bumpy country housing less people than Glasgow - yet with so much good stuff on offer. With a stunning coastline, Venetian-built medieval cities and fortresses, huge mountain ranges and Europe's most impressive bay, Montenegro has it all.
Podgorica, the capital city of this new state, is a modern capital that never set out to conquer the planet with its beauty, but visitors soon recognise it's
a deliciously different and practically unknown Balkan city. On a hot summers' afternoon the place is deserted, but come late afternoon and you'll be sucked up in a lively and friendly crowd of students, pretty girls, bodybuilders, old ladies and chubby chaps with man-bags, all strolling around the pedestrianised streets. Soon you'll know what makes Podgorica our favouritest tiniest capital city.
Read everything about it in the new Podgorica In Your Pocket online and print city guide.
The gem of the Montenegrin coastline is undoubtedly Kotor, with its charming UNESCO-listed old town hid in a corner of a dazzlingly beautiful bay. Kotor In Your Pocket has the details. Other intriguing sights include age-old Cetinje and leisurely Lake Skadar, both just a short drive from Podgorica and honored with a feature in this guide.
