Fun things to do in Podgorica: 16 fun attractions and activities

At the end of July, it was a rather sad experience. No water below the bridge. The bridge itself is nothing special. Two stars only because this was still the most beautiful place we could find in Podgorica. Podgorica is definitely not worth visiting.

Podgorica isn't a place for tourists. They mostly visit Kotor Bay or the coast instead of the capital. At some point I can understand why but Podgorica has something very different that is worth to explore in my opinion, even if you just spend 2 hours in this city. This bridge is such a charming calm place with a waterfall and a little gorge. I can't recommend this place enough, I liked it a lot!

You should visit and take a bikini or shorts for swimming in the lake. This is an amazing Ottoman work, and right below it you can definitely swim in the lake. There’s also a small, cozy café where you can grab a drink.

bridge is cool and roman in origin. don't hate the bridge just bc there is no water. the bridge is not responsible for rain season

Beautiful spot Nature in city centre including a dip in chilled fresh water Small cafe And water front seats

In august there was no water flow under bridge but still beautiful i guess.

The Old Ribnica River Bridge is one of Podgorica’s oldest landmarks, dating back to Roman times. Nestled at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers, it offers a charming glimpse into the city’s history and a peaceful spot to enjoy the view.”

To get there you can use the bus, which takes about €1 but longer time or a taxi. The place is nice with an interesting history. It takes very little time to see. The souvenir shop was nice, with many religious stuff. The guy that attended was super super nice! I think is worth the trip of you are into churches.

We liked this place more than Ostrog monastery. Amazing church in a caves, no people, easy to arrive

Nice place for a quick visit. Free entry. Free decent paved parking lot. There was car glass on the parking lot indicating break ins, so don't leave your important belongings behind in the car. Small but well maintained. Small souvenir shop. Like how they've done it with lighting a candle for only 20 eurocents. Be sure to check out the caves behind the altar in the room. Neatly done.

Very kind and welcoming people. A must visit place if you come to Podgorica. Just take bus line number 1 or get here by car.

Extremly beautiful monastery, you must visit it! Its free of charge, they have plenty of free parking and what you get its worth the trip!

The Dajbabe Monastery was dedicated to Uspenje Bogorodice or the Assumption of Mary, the monastery was founded in 1897. In the beginning, only the space of the cave was used as a sanctuary, with the plan to be expanded later with chapels. The visible part of the church is situated outside the cave, depicting a spacious entrance porch with two belfries. The Dajbabe Monastery also possesses a reliquary with the relics of St. Simeon Dajbabe.

From Podgorica there are no signs to this monastry whatsoever. You get there with narrow suburban road and there is nothing along the road that indicates an important landmark is nearby. Once there a house among hundreds of olive trees emerges, looking quite modern and uninteresting. Inside however there are impressive catacombs that hide a lot of history. A guy working in a shop was polite enough to give us 15-minute history lesson of the place.

Such an excellent forest park, walking distance from the city. Paved and rocky paths, adventure-style setup too. And a climbing wall ! No vehicles inside the park itself. Cool on a hot day, high enough a hill to get good breezes. And cool in the other sense in any weather ...

Wonderful place to take a long walk or run. It is on a hill and when the weather is nice, it's a nice activity for couples, friends or families. There is a cafe, that is nice to take a break. There are nice views from Gorica. I've been a few times and it is one of m favorite places of Podgorica.

The best part of this city is Gorica Park. An absolutely beautiful oasis in the centre of the city. Full of paved trails, there are also hiking paths through the brush. At the highest point the views are amazing. There is an outdoor gym and a football field on top. Two cafe's, one at the entrance and the other about 1/3 the way up the hill. See native Hermann tortoises, plant species, beautiful big shade trees and lots of people out exercising. What an absolutely treasure this space is for the city, I hope they keep maintaining it as well as they currently are.

Beautiful park, from the top you can enjoy a wonderful view.

We liked this big park on the hill in downtown Podgorica. The hill's name is Gorica and the city founded under that hill got its name Podgorica, which literally means 'Under the hill'. The park is located right on this relatively low hill (its height is about 130 meters) that combined with the rich evergreen vegetation creates a unique microclimate shading you in the hot summer and protecting from cold winds in winter. There's a great adventure park for kids over 4 years old. In October 2025 it still worked (7 Euro for a 4 year old), but some paths already looked worn out. It's still safe but needs attention. The path for adults looks abandoned and you can see only some remains of it. But the working paths are still good and kids love it. There's also a small playground and several cafes around. The park was planted with trees in the 20th century (before it had been just a grass hill), so there's a variety of trees including nice pines. By the entrance there's a beautiful St.George's church that is also worth visiting.

Lovely city park with workout areas and multiple panorama viewpoints. Great on the morning or at sunset.

Walking, running, cycling, dog strolls, have a drink and watch your kids play around with all the provided facilities they offer. Shaded place by the big trees covering all the place from the sun. A lot of activities for the children to play around and there are people watching them. There are some nice monuments around as well!

The Millennium Bridge is one of Podgorica’s most iconic landmarks. Its modern design is sleek and impressive, especially when lit up at night. The views from the bridge, overlooking the Morača River, are quite picturesque and make for a nice walk or photo spot. It’s a simple but striking piece of architecture that adds character to the city. The area around the bridge is well-maintained, though it can get busy with foot traffic during peak times. Overall, it’s a great spot to visit for both locals and tourists.

Probably the most famous landmark in Podgorica. Cool modern design and great views over the Morača River. It’s not a place where you spend a lot of time, but it’s nice to walk across, take a few pics, and enjoy the scenery—especially around sunset. If you’re in town, it’s worth checking out.

Great place to stop by if you’re walking around Podgorica. The view of the bridge is awesome—especially with the mountains in the background and the river below. There’s a little riverside café tucked under the trees that’s super chill, with outdoor seating right by the water. Nice for a drink or just to sit and enjoy the scenery. It’s quiet, not too touristy, and feels a bit hidden away. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby.

Nice modern bridge, underneath there’s a walk way along the beautiful river

It can be nice spot if you like to take photos of architecture or traffic. I like it mire during the day but didn’t have time to take photo. Sharing night one. Also interesting.

The Millennium Bridge is a cool, modern landmark right in the same area as the Vladimir Vysotsky Monument. It’s got a sleek design and offers a great view over the river and surrounding park. It’s especially nice to walk across around sunset or just sit nearby and enjoy the atmosphere. The whole area feels open and relaxing, with a nice mix of nature and urban scenery. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Nice landmark to stap by if you are in Podgorica. Also take a walk and enjoy the bridge from riverside!

Difficult to locate museum. Little to nothing inside. The presentation of the very few items was poorly executed. Noting is written in English, so you must utilize your translator function to its fullest on your DCD (smart phone). I am constantly amazed at how few curators of museums obtain an actual education from an accredited university and are employed yet do such a truly deplorable job. This is an excellent example of a missed opportunity.

it shows that the staff in doing their best, but it will be a long time to get to western museum level. still a nice visit for 1-2 hours with young children

On Saturday we had luck at 12:30. It was open till 2 p.m. without lunch break (13:00-13:30). It is a smaller museum, such an exposition of minerals, snakes, amphibians, butterflies, beetles, insects, birds and fish. The accompanying exhibition there was the history of tea, its cultivation and processing of varieties. The descriptions of the exhibits are only in the Cyrillic of the Montenegrin language... It was a good thing that I learned to read texts in azbuka during my elementary school. I have a recommendation to the museum: English descriptions for foreign tourists would also be great.

Interesting museum, definitely worth seeing with family. Kids were jumping all over the place all the time. Not to much things to see that one could expect, but still was interesting to see what animals can be seen in Montenegro

Great museum,small but only costs 2€.Right now there is an exhibition about bees.There is no English text.There also was a little quiz to test your knowledge.

A quite small museum, but it costs only 2 Euro for adults to enter. They are closed for 30 min around 1 pm. No info in English except one sign where it says that it is forbidden to touch the glass in order to disturb the snakes :)

The stuffed animals in the photos are removed from the exhibition. There is only the spices exhibition which is not worth visiting. Entrance fee is 1€.

Cute tower, with a couple of old local cafes next to it. What you see is what you get, however it survived the bombings of the ww2 and is historic, worth checking out if you have a meander through the old town

Nice old tower but nothing much around here other than that. Located at Old Town

Nice little tower. Cannot go inside though.

The Clock Tower is a nice “must-see” for a short visit in Podgorica if you’re interested in history and a little old-town ambience. I’d rate it 4 out of 5 stars. It does exactly what you want: gives you a historic landmark, a photo opportunity, and a link to the city’s past — but it won’t fill a long afternoon by itself. If I were visiting Podgorica, I’d plan perhaps 20-30 minutes at the tower, then stroll around the surrounding Old Town area, maybe stop for a coffee at a nearby café.

Pretty spot in old neighbourhood that is becoming trendy with little galleries

No big deal... Unlike other clocks towers, this one has a clock facing only one direction

A clock tower, we didn't know about the history so we didn't enjoy much

Very nice waterfall unlike the restaurant next to it(minus 5⭐). You can go admire the waterfall as much as you feel like, there were moments when there were no other people, most of them take 1 or 2 photos and go. We went there on 07.11 and the stream was very powerfull. The contrast between the calm water before the fall and the force of the water after that is magical, also the color of the water is very beautiful green. If you are hoping to eat better bring your own food because the waiters are very lazy and won't come to you even if you wait 20 minutes not even to bring a menu. If you sit on table and eat your own food they will not even bother you I guess. That is the reason I am not sure if it worth it if you have to divert from your main path more than 15 minutes as there are nk hiking options or other activities.

Not much water falling down on Sunday October 19th. Still worth a quick stop if in the area. This marker leads to a rundown viewpoint of the artificial falls from above. Few parking spots along the road. If you walk a little to the left when standing on the viewpoint facing the falls, for only like 25 meters, there is a very well hidden and overgrown stairwell going down to the falls. It leads you straight to the falls to take a close by picture. No need to go to or through the restaurant. No railings, no paths, no safety measures whatsoever down there, so be cautious. Free parking, free entry.

What a gorgeous swimming hole and perfect place to cool down on a hot day. With the restaurant right next door for a beer, you can’t ask for much more. One tip, enter and exit from the north-east direction (if you’re on the north side of the river). If you use the road heading south-west, the potholes are awful. Also, Google’s questions don’t make much sense. There are no tickets, so you don’t need to buy them in advance. We got parking on the road above the river, but the restaurant has a parking lot too. On a hot Tuesday afternoon in mid June it wasn’t super busy. I imagine it must get packed out on the weekend.

This place is magnificent! The best thing about the restaurant is its extraordinary location and surroundings, for sure, but the service is also top-level, and I really loved the coffee I ordered 👌😎✨️ It was a 10-15 minute drive from Podgorica, on Sunday, and it's definitely worth visiting. It can get crowded and it often is, but yesterday it was very tranquil and mildly crowded. More people started coming around lunch time. Highly recommended! 🎉✨️👌🙏

A hidden gem just outside Podgorica! The waterfall may not be huge, but the setting is beautiful—especially in spring when the water flow is strong. we visited the place in early June, It’s a peaceful spot to relax, take photos, and enjoy the sound of the river. Super easy to reach by car, and there’s even a nice restaurant right by the falls where you can have fresh trout with a great view. All Food is halal. Special thanks to waiter Karam a very nice Turkish man who took a very good care of us. Don’t expect anything wild or touristy—just a calm, natural escape close to the city. Worth a quick stop if you're in Podgorica.

It's a beautiful local sight,a magical waterfall. The area is so beautiful around.

Wow what a place, a must visit if you are on kotor, ten minutes drive from the centre, parking is hot and miss, so park at Nijagara restaurant, through the arch on the left. Plenty of places to swim in clear cool water, or just sit on the rocks with your feet in, toilets are in the restaurant which is very cheap for snacks, perfect day with a quiet hint of music from the restaurants outdoor speakers.

Wow, got given the evil eye so hard by a church employee I turned around a left. Never seen anything like that in a church in my life. Not even close. Was on my way home from the park and I happened to see the church. Thought it looked worth visiting, certainly not with the staff there. I had just entered the courtyard, wasn't even 30 ft to the door when this lady was giving me a death stare like "what do you think your doing here". The gate was open of course. What a ugly blemish on an otherwise perfect day of interacting with the locals. Looked like a great church and I'm sure this one employee does not represent the attitude of the whole staff. That being said, the situation was so disgusting that I feel like bringing attention to it. I've been churchs, mosques, temples, all over the world and never seem anything even close to this.

A good place to visit in Podgorica. Peaceful ambience inside the building, with some religious (Catholic) items to buy.

A small church, but pretty. Worth it if you combine it with a stroll in the park next to it, which has a beautiful view of the city and surroundings.

Very small old church in a wonderful settinh

Well worth a visit. Small be beautiful with plenty of beautiful artwork that needs to be seen.

Nice little church to visit surrounded by nature.

Peaceful and serene, great to visit before entering the Gorica park.

Ok take this place for what it is: a relatively poorly protected Roman ruin. If you keep that in mind you will have a lovely day imagining yourself as a Roman. There is the formal side and then across the street a real treat bc you can clamber past ruins to sit on the bank of the Moraca. Lovely when the weather is nice!

This was a little bit underwhelming since I hiked from Podgorica to get here. Ruins are ruins though and if you are interested in historical wanderings, this was most interesting nearby

Nice historical area on the countryside, only 10 min from the city center if you take the local bus L20 (90 cent). It only takes 30-45 minutes, so you can use the same ticket to go back. Mostly grass and some stones. At the north side, there are some information signs, no sign on the south side where you also can walk closer to the river. Two barking dogs at the smaller buildings there :)

If you are interested in history you should come here. The place is in the very quiet area, but the road is fine. We walked here by feet. Entrance is free of charge. There is a gates, but they were opened. The place was totally empty and quite abandoned. The grass was too high and big part of ruins were deep in the grass. There are signs with information in Serbian and English. We liked this place, cause there we found a lot of interesting parts of buildings and colomns. But it would be super nice if municipality of Podgorica took some care of this place.

Very evocative - once had 10,000 residents

Here they are, just waiting for people to visit. They are a little walk out of town but well worth the effort. Extensive area of ruins, some enclosed by a fence but said to be open 24 hours a day. Free entrance and there's a car park area. Wander to your heart's delight. There's a real sense of history here.

The place itself it’s ok, but I really loved the path from city centre till there - like 45 minutes walking. It offers beautiful landscape. Mountains and rivers with colours outstanding.

I had the opportunity to pray maghrib prayer. I was walking in the old town and heard azan. Very peaceful mosque

old town mosque with seating place and water fountain in front

Beautiful old mosque. Located in the heart of the old town of Podgorica, represents on of the few old monuments that are preserved in old town. It still has active church life. I did not like the fact that I could find garbage around the mosque. It is a.street where you have a lot of houses and people live there but it seems that no-one cares about it.

Unfortunately, I could not make it to Jumma Prayer as it was 12'O clock, and I arrived late, although it's a wonderful experience.

very nice mosque clean, they have hot water and soop and towel

This mosque has got a great history that dates itself back centuries

Beautiful mosque.

Playing ground for kids is a 10. Food and drinks are too expensive and a poor quality.

Safe and child-friendly, English-speaking staff. Clean premises. Important! Check availability by calling them as if there a birthday party, only invited children can enter

Good with children but it has to be open every day

highly recommended

super

Great playroom for kids, kind staff. Recommended.

Awful place for kids. Run away

Very small place but well maintained and with professional staff.

(Translated by Google) This is truly the perfect place for kids of all ages! The space is spacious, safe and nicely decorated, with modern toys and props that encourage creativity and physical activity. The staff is very kind, attentive and treats children very well. It is especially great that the playroom has different themed zones – from areas for quiet games to dynamic corners for climbing and running, so every child can find something they like. The organization of the birthday party is also top-notch, with carefully designed activities that keep the children entertained throughout the celebration. I recommend! (Original) Ovo je zaista savršeno mjesto za djecu svih uzrasta! Prostor je prostran, siguran i lijepo uređen, s modernim igračkama i rekvizitima koji podstiču kreativnost i fizičku aktivnost. Osoblje je veoma ljubazno, pažljivo i odlično se ophodi prema djeci. Posebno je sjajno što igraonica ima različite tematske zone – od prostora za mirne igre do dinamičnih kutaka za penjanje i trčanje, pa svako dijete može pronaći nešto što voli. Organizacija rođendana je takođe vrhunska, sa pažljivo osmišljenim aktivnostima koje drže djecu zabavljenom tokom cijelog slavlja. Preporučujem!

(Translated by Google) Great place for small and big children, great games. A special section for parents, coffee, juice... Our suggestion is to park in Delta, very close, because there is a very small place in front of the playground itself. (Original) Super mjesto za malu i veliku djecu, super igrice. Poseban dio za roditelje, kafa, sok... Nas predlog je parkirati se u Delti, veoma blizu, jer ispred same igraonice je veoma malo mjesto.

(Translated by Google) We celebrated our son's birthday tonight and we are very satisfied. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was beautiful, the photos they took were great, the animators did an excellent job, they really dedicated themselves to the children and entertained them. And we are more than satisfied, all praise and we will definitely come again. (Original) Slavili smo veceras sinu rodjendan i prezadovoljni smo.Osoblje ljubazno,atmosfera prelijepa,fotografije koje su napravili predobre,animatorke su odradile odlican posao,bas su se posvetile djeci i zabavile ih.I vise smo nego zadovoljni,sve pohvale i sigurno cemo doci opet.

(Translated by Google) A pure ten from me ❤️ Really, honestly all the recommendations for celebrating a child's birthday. So much content and space to play, that the children were delighted. Special thanks to the animators for the atmosphere and photos ❤️ The teachers, like everyone else, are wonderful and respected us to the maximum. We don't change the playroom anymore 🥰 (Original) Od mene čista desetka ❤️ Zaista, iskreno sve preporuke za proslavu dječijeg rođendana. Toliko sadržaja i prostora za igru, da su djeca bila oduševljena. Animatorima posebna zahvalnost za atmosferu i fotografije ❤️ Vaspitačice, kao i svi ostali, su predivni i maksimalno su nas ispoštovali. Igraonicu više ne mijenjamo 🥰

(Translated by Google) A very large space that is divided. On the first floor there is a playground with mats and gadgets for children, and on the ground floor there is a cafe and seating area, in the basement there is a section for a disco, karaoke, etc. The playroom is nicely decorated. The prices are affordable. The staff is kind and attentive. We celebrated birthdays and usually came to the playroom. All praise. (Original) Veoma veliki prostor koji je podijeljen. Na spratu je igralište sa strunjačama i spravicama za djecu, a u prizemlju je dio kafića i prostor za sjedjenje, u suterenu je dio za diskoteku, karaoke i slično. Lijepo je uređena igraonica. Cijene su peistupačne. Osoblje je ljubazno i pažljivo. Slavili smo rođendane i dolazili inače u igraonicu. Sve pohvale.

(Translated by Google) The best playroom in town! Professional staff, comfortable space, air-conditioned, very clean and pleasant for children and adults! The facility has video surveillance for children so that parents can enjoy coffee and children can play! (Original) Najbolja igraonica u gradu! Profesionalno osoblje, komforan prostor, klimatizovano, vrlo cisto i prijatno za boravak djece i odraslih! U objektu je postavljen video nadzor za djecu kako bi roditelji uzivali u kafi a djeca u igri!

All parents here got to drop their child off while drinking coffee except ours. No explanation given. The two women were rude and barely paying attention to the children so maybe its for the better.

(Translated by Google) The playroom as a playroom is ok. A bit overcrowded and it is impossible to see off every child when there are so many. But the aunt (black short hair) who works there is absolutely not for working with children. Always rude, never smiling. Brash, impudent, while female colleagues are the opposite, wonderful. If he does not have the capacity and mood to supervise 3, 4, 5 year old children who are playing, then he should seriously consider whether he is up for the job. (Original) Igraonica kao igraonica je ok. Malo prenatrpana i nemoguce je ispratiti svako dijete kad ih je toliko. Ali teta (crna kratka kosa) koja radi tamo, apsolutno nije za rad sa djecom. Uvijek neljubazna, nikad nasmijana. Drska, bezobrazna, dok su koleginice sve suprotno, divne. Ukoliko nema kapacitet i raspolozenje da nadgleda djecu od 3,4,5 godina koja se igraju onda ozbiljno treba da razmisli da li je za taj posao.

(Translated by Google) Terrible service. For the first time, we were given the go-ahead to leave the child and go shopping, even though our son is already independent. And the second time a very rude woman said to be only next to the baby, that she would not look and would open the doors. I was rude (Original) Ужасное обслуживание . В первый раз дали добро оставить ребёнка и отойти по магазинам ,хоть наш сын он уже и самостоятельный . А второй раз очень грубая женщина ,сказала быть только рядом с малышом ,что она не будет смотреть и будет открывать двери . Нагрубила

(Translated by Google) The staff is rude, the women who work there are a disaster, rude, uncultured and ill-mannered... rating 0 (Original) Osoblje neljubazno, zene koje rade tamo su katastrofa neljubazne, nekulturne i nevaspitane...ocjena 0

(Translated by Google) The child really liked it. The staff is welcoming and friendly. There is a cafe for adults nearby. (Original) Ребенку оч понравилось. Персонал приветливый и дружелюбный. Рядом кафе для взрослых.

Cheap (€3 per time and you can check the packages available for more times), clean, big pool, friendly staff and clean showers.

Very attentive and friendly staff and a nice playground, entrance fee is 2.5 euros until 4 pm and 3 euros afterwards

Beautiful sports center.

Nice sport center. Big, clean and with aircondition. The taraflex floor was very good

Lovely swimming pool. Perfect for lap swimming.

Watched my very first basketball match - the qualifier between Montenegro and Turkey.... AWESUMNESS!!!!!!!

Game days Montenegro & Turkei Handball women's

Nice place for children while parents at market. Market has millions of items almost everything exist accept food.

(Translated by Google) Excellent gamer. After moving from Bazar to Citi Mall, it became significantly smaller in area, but more interesting in content. Excellent for children 3-5 years old; older ones will not be interested. Price 2.5 euros per hour. (Original) Отличная играоница. После переезда из Bazar в Citi Mall стала значительно меньше по площади, но интереснее по наполнению. Для детей 3-5 лет отлично, старше будет не интересно. Цена 2.5 евро в час.
