Parks

Walk or drive through Podgorica and you can't help but notice how green the city is. There are small parks and flower beds between suburban buildings, a tradition started during the post-war rebuilding of the city. From 1951 to 1954 a large-scale campaign to plant trees in the suburbs was carried out, with mainly cypress and Aleppo pines planted which could thrive in Podgorica's  poor, stony soil and long dry summers.

Njegošev Park

One of the first landscaped green areas in Podgorica, this park between the city centre and the river was opened in 1925. The Second World War thoroughly ploughed it up, but it was reinstated in original form in 1951. Read_on (No Comments)
