  • Duklja - Represents the most important archaeological site from the period of Roman domination on the territory of Montenegro. with visible remains concentrated in the center of the former Roman city (municipium), it testifies to the highly organized way of life in that period and will tell you the story of the beginnings of the development of settlements in this area

  • Medun - Located on an elevation in the hills above Podgorica, it offers a beautiful view of the plain around Podgorica and bears witness to the historical period when the Illyrians inhabited this area, but also to the period of Turkish domination and the Montenegrins’ struggle for freedom. We will visit the museum dedicated to the Montenegrin writer, warrior and mayor of Podgorica Marko Miljanov and learn more about the traditional values of Montenegrin society and the centuries-old struggle for freedom.

Additional Information

Our aim with this excursion, spanning between 5-6 hours, is to guide you through the significant cultural and historical landmarks of the Capital City. You would encounter thousand-year-old relics from Illyrian and Roman settlements, monumental sites from the socialist era, churches of both the medieval and the contemporary period, the fortress, the old town that harks back to the Ottoman era and other renowned locations in the city’s modern landscape of Podgorica.

The tour is a mix of strolling and driving to ensure we capture everything the city has to offer. A noteworthy part of the tour would be visiting the museum in honour of Marko Miljanov, a revered Montenegrin fighter, writer and philosopher.

During this tour, you will have the chance to appreciate the vista from one of the nearby scenic points, barrel down the slopes of Kuci Mountain Massif, and we certainly will not let slip the chance to touch the pristine waters of Cijevna river and revel in a walk along its intriguingly unique riverbed.

Many experiences in one! - Informativ trip with Nino. Amazing trip combining the city with its surroundings. Saw a lot in short time, so great value for the money. Nino gave many good ideas about restaurants, concerts, cafes etc. Tried several of them and had a good time! He also helped with ideas for other places / towns in Montenegro and how to get there. Nino speaks an easily understandable English and was great company!

Tour of Podgorica - Walking around Podgorica with Nino was one of a kind experience. We unfortunately didn’t have much time, but Nino managed to arrange very last minute a tour tailored around our preferences. He showed us around the city with positive energy and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We ended up with a drink in his favourite bar sharing our experiences and speaking about life in the Balkans. Definitely recommended, after a tour with Nino you will definitely want to be back in Podgorica!
