Podgorica is at its best in spring and autumn, twenty to twenty-eight degrees, lighter rain, lush green parks and the day-trip routes at their best. July and August reach forty degrees plus, when many locals leave for the coast and the city quietens.

Common Questions
Podgorica lies in the Zeta plain at the confluence of the Morača and Ribnica rivers, roughly 15 kilometres north of Lake Skadar. The directory covers the full city, from the Ottoman-era quarter of Stara Varoš and the modern commercial centre of Novi Grad through to the surrounding municipality. That takes in Golubovci to the south, the Morača canyon to the north, and the Cijevna valley to the northeast.
Allow 35 minutes for the climb from the trailhead by Cetinjski Put to the upper viewpoint, plus 20 minutes at the top and 25 minutes back. The path is shaded and well used, with the small fifteenth-century Saint George's Church near the summit. Sturdy shoes are useful in winter when the gravel turns slippery.
Podgorica Airport is twelve kilometres south of the city, fifteen minutes by car. Fixed taxi rates are around fifteen euros to the centre. The airport bus runs hourly and costs three euros. Car-hire desks at the airport are open during all flight arrivals.
Yes. Virpazar on the lake's eastern shore is forty minutes by car or train from Podgorica, with hourly boat trips from the village quay. Half-day tours run twenty to thirty euros and cover the lily fields, the bird colonies and a stop at Kom Monastery on a small island.
April to early June and September to October are ideal, twenty to twenty-eight degrees, lighter rain and the surrounding day-trip routes at their best. July and August reach forty degrees plus, when most locals leave for the coast. Winter is cool and rainy with the city's restaurants, cafes and clubs running their full schedule.
Ostrog is one hour fifteen minutes north of Podgorica by car on the M2 to Nikšić, then a fifteen-kilometre signposted side road that climbs steeply to the upper monastery built into the cliff face. There is no direct bus; tour operators run half-day trips from the city for around twenty-five euros.
