Book a Flight to Podgorica from €99

Built at the confluence of the Moraca and Ribnica rivers, the capital of Montenegro is a lively European metropolis with wonderful parks, interesting museums, a Mediterranean lifestyle and a vibrant nightlife. 

Surprising and low key, the “town beneath the small mountain” (“pont-gorica” in Serbian) reveals a turbulent history of millennia and many different faces. From pre-Roman Doclea and Ottoman Ribnica to the Titograd of the former Yugoslavia and today’s Podgorica, Europe’s newest capital (Montenegro became an independent state only in 2006) is slowly but surely constructing its identity. 

The Old Town (Stara Varos) offers an atmospheric journey through the Ottoman past, while the heart of modern life and the country’s up-and-coming creative scene beats in the New Town (Nova Varos). Whichever route you decide to take, make sure that you discover the city’s unique gastronomic and wine culture and its resplendent nature by enjoying a picnic in one of its wonderful town parks or by taking a trip to the nearby magical Lake Skadar National Park.   

Fly with Aegean Airlines to Podgorica and land in the most unexplored and enigmatic Balkan capital.
