About me
About me
My name is Maja and I was born in 1990. I studied in the Czech Republic and in the United Kingdom, but I would always come back to Montenegro. I'm working in the civil society and I love traveling and checking spots on Spotted by Locals ( : .
Why Podgorica
I love my city because it is mine first of all.
Podgorica is a very warm place with nice people with a specific attitude and a specific kind of humor. It is full of ordinary people who make it a city with a soul. Also, Podgorica is the smallest and least famous of all of the capitals in ex-Yugoslavia, often being forgotten and neglected, so I guess most of its citizens have the kind of pride that makes us want to make Podgorica more loved and more attractive to tourists.
My spots (22)
Klub Bocara
Place with history
"Klub Bocara" is one of the beloved places in Podgorica, on Gorica Hill. It's very simple and has this old-fashioned charm... That's what I love about it.

"Dough Store" in Podgorica is a nice, old-fashioned store where I and my family go to buy dough for pies, baklava and fresh pasta!

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...

Hotel Podgorica
The prettiest terrace
"Hotel Podgorica" is a very nice place to have coffee or lunch. It's one of the landmarks of the city. I like coming here for the beautiful sunny terrace.

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...
