Additional Information

Embark on a pedestrian journey through Podgorica, the capital and cultural, administrative, and economic heart of Montenegro. The area’s history stretches back to the Stone Age, but its urban origins are traced to the arrival of the Romans in the 2nd century B.C. Along the years, Podgorica served as a junction for a diverse mix of travelers including Greek voyagers, Roman soldiers, Byzantine couriers, Serbian nobles, Venetian traders, Turkish assailants, and Montenegrin fighters…

The city’s architectural landscape underwent dramatic changes following over 70 bombings in World War II, erasing numerous buildings and landmarks from previous centuries. Our 90-minute walk will guide you through the city’s remnants of the past, while also showcasing the structure’s reconstruction during the communist era and subsequent years.

  • This is an easy city walking tour, but Podgorica can be very hot during summer and a small part of the tour is leading to streets made of cobblestones so the comfortable footwear is advised). The tour operates almost in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately.
  • Minimum numbers (3 pax) apply. There is a possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there are not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered full refund or an alternative (to join a similar tour, the same tour on another date, to pay surcharge for private tour).
Location

Novaka Miloševa
You will meet with the guide at the centre of Podgorica – Trg Nezavisnosti - Independence Square (formerly Square of the Republic), at the fountain. In case of rain, the guide will be positioned by the Podgoricka Bank, under the eaves surrounding the square.

History basis - The walking excursion was just of the right timing to get a decent impression of Podgorica history. Ana knows a lot and presents information clearly, interesting, and with a keen humor!

Learned a lot! - I had a great time walking the city with Ana. I have lived in Podgorica for 6 months and yet still discovered new things I had never seen. Ana gave such a rich history of the city and country.

Great walking tour with Slavko! - Slavko gave us a great walking tour in the city of Podgorica. He started with the introduction that took us back thousands years ago and he explained the city history till today. Besides historical events he gave us a sufficient amount of information to capture the everyday life of Podgorica. Totally recommend this walking tour!

A great day in Podgorica! - We visited Podgorica this April and decided to book a tour at the last moment. It proved to be a good decision as we had an excellent local guide who took us around the town and told us the story of the city which we wouldn't be able to discover on our own. We got a recommendation for local pubs and restaurants. We also booked the same agency for their Kotor tour the next day and it was just as perfect.

A most wonderful experience - We made a last minute reservation for a city trip ( Podgorica ) and a visit of the Monastery of Ostrog. The Montenegro Adventures DMC team were most accommodating, very professional and very client focused ( listening to our needs ). The city trip was very interesting and our guide Ana was most knowledgeable bringing her real life experiences into the tour making the tour even more enjoyable. Our trip to Ostrog was most comfortable and our guide ( Bata ) ensured we discovered the hidden treasures this region has to offer. Highly recommended !
