Through the streets of Podgorica

Podgorica, the commercial and cultural center, is the largest and main city of Montenegro and the main intersection of roads in Montenegro. It got its name from the hill Gorica, under which it grew and developed. The city is in an excellent location as it represents a connection between winter ski resorts and the Montenegrin coast. Its good position also resulted in an excellent climate, with warm summers and pleasant winters. The city is intersected by five rivers, and nearby is Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans, with an incredible number of birds and plants, some of which are very rare.
