Skaline Podgorica

Where the sun kisses the river

""Skaline" is a place with a lot of touristic potential, with a rich history. It's still one of the most beautiful places to relax and explore in Podgorica."

Skaline is maybe the most beautiful part of Podgorica. Unfortunately, in spite of its potential, this place is not a big tourist spot. Also, not many local people remember that a series of historical events happened in this area, but they still visit it a lot.

The Turks used to have a fortress that functioned as a city here. It is believed that the founder of the Nemanjić dynasty was born there. The Romans and Illyrians were present, too. There is a hidden memorial plaque that proves the existence of a radio-telegraph station erected by the French during World War I.

Even if you are not interested in all this, this place can still be beautiful, with the small stone bridge and amazing sunset. In spring, you can always find the cool company of young people playing guitar and drinking beer; in summer there is a small bar and a lot of swimmers.

Anyway, if you want to take some rest and enjoy nature, this is a nice place to be.

Gorica Hill

A true oasis

"Gorica Hill" is the namesake of Podgorica -- our city means 'under Gorica'. It's one of my favorite places to walk, jog, or chill on one of the benches...

Architecture

Dash of socialism

Podgorica is getting more and more modern each and every day. But there are still places where you can find socialist buildings. I love those buildings...
