Podgorica City Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
A city walking tour that will introduce you to Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, and it's administrative, cultural and economic centre.
The wider area has been inhabited since the Stone Age, but its urban history starts with the arrival of the Romans in the 2nd century B.C. Dating from the period of Illyrian-Roman wars, Podgorica was always at the crossroads for Greek travellers, Roman legionnaires, Byzantine messengers, Serbian noblemen, Venetian merchants, Turkish invaders, Montenegrin warriors...
More than 70 bombings in the Second World War have wiped out many buildings and monuments from the previous centuries. During our 90 minutes walk, we will pass by some of these remaining traces of the previous centuries but will also take a look at the way the city was rebuilt during the communist period and in the later decades.

The way for the soul of Podgorica

5.00The free walking tour was guide by Vladislav, who, I think, is the best tour guide in Podgorica because he not only conveys the city's history but also the soul of the Montenegrins. He gives you all the recommendations and takes his time, unhurriedly, to explain, help, and explore the city. Congratulations Vladislav! El free walking tour lo hace Vladislav que pienso es el mejor guía turístico de Podgorica porque no solo transmite la historia de la ciudad sino también el alma de los montenegrinos. Te da todas las recomendaciones y se toma el tiempo sin prisa de explicar, ayudar y recorrer la ciudad. Felicitaciones Vladislav!

5.00Our walking tour with Peter was the best we have done - after travelling to over 10 European cities together. We learned so much about Podgorica, from multiple different time periods. Petar went above and beyond to answer our questions, and even took us to a special church afterwards! We would recommend this walking tour as a must for anyone visiting Montenegro who wants to learn about its history.

5.00I 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.
Useful, interesting, refreshing tour!

5.00Slavko 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!

5.00We 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

5.00We 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 !
