The Millennium Bridge in Podgorica is a modern, elegant crossing. Great for a stroll and city views.

Yossi E — Google review

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.

Haytham A — Google review

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.

Margo — Google review

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.

2. Orthodox Temple of Christ's Resurrection

4.8

(1867)

Orthodox church

Sights & Landmarks

Modern, monumental church with delicately carved stonework & an ornate interior of gilded frescoes.

Slide 1 of 8

This is one of the most magnificent and peaceful places I have visited in Podgorica. The architecture of the Orthodox Temple of Christ's Resurrection is simply breathtaking. Every detail, from the marble facade to the stunning mosaics, reflects deep spiritual and cultural symbolism. At night, the temple is beautifully illuminated, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. The interior is just as impressive, with grand chandeliers, vibrant frescoes, and a profound sense of tranquility. Visitors are welcome to enter respectfully, and the ambiance encourages quiet reflection and admiration. There is ample parking space nearby, and the area feels very safe and accessible. It’s not only a place of worship but also a cultural gem worth exploring. Whether you're religious or not, this site offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Podgorica. Highly recommended for photographers, history lovers, and travelers alike.

Grand & spectacular Orthodox church, both outside & inside. Awesome piece of architecture & art. But nobody respect the solemness of this holy place. Men & women went in with tank top & shorts, exposing their shoulders & knees. The 2 young guys working there didn’t bother at all.

Connie W — Google review

Extremely beautiful place! Definitely worth seeing if you visit Podgorica. Inside this cathedral looks magical! Near the entrance there are 2 souvenir shops, so you can buy something as a memory from this place, I bought magnet) Probably the most beautiful place in Podgorica

Jasmin M — Google review

For a cathedral modest in size, but magnificent on the inside and unique on the exterior. The reliefs on the outer walls are great.

Evangelos P — Google review

This was a spectacular Church in Podgorica. The design reminds you of much older classical designs that are rarely seen constructed with this eye for history. The murals throughout the church have been painted by true artist and are an endless joy to find the stories of the bible adorned across the walls and ceilings of this beautiful Church! Consecration occurred on October 7, 2013, on the occasion of the 1700th anniversary of the Edict of Milan on freedom of religion, and it was attended by the heads of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, Serbian Patriarch Irinej, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Jerusalem Patriarch Theophilus III and Russian Patriarch Cyril, together with Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Amfilohije and other Metropolitanate clerics. Not to be missed!!!

Kirk B — Google review

Interesting modern (2013) orthodox Cathedral in Podgorica. Visited on Sunday morning and were impressed by the amount of local people attending the liturgy. Most if not all of the walls and ceilings are adorned with frescos. Worth noticing the faces of Marx, Enghels and Tito left in Hell while other Christian personalities are saved by some metaphorical or biblical beast ( at the ceiling above the balcony at the left after the entrance ) . The outside has many interesting architectural details.

Grigoris T — Google review

This is an impressive and beautiful landmark in Podgorica. The architecture is stunning, both inside and out, with intricate details and vibrant frescoes that capture your attention. The sheer size of the building and the peaceful atmosphere inside make it a wonderful place to visit, whether for worship or to appreciate the art and history. The only downside was that it can get a bit crowded with tourists at times, but overall, it’s a must-see when in Podgorica.

Enoch O — Google review

A Must-Visit in Podgorica! This stunning church is one of Podgorica’s top highlights. Its magnificent architecture stands out, both inside and out, with breathtaking frescoes that leave a lasting impression. Located in a peaceful area, it offers a sense of serenity and spirituality. The church is beautifully lit at night, adding to its charm. Best of all, entry is free, and there’s a souvenir shop nearby. If you’re visiting Podgorica, this is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss!

Beautiful canyon which road is following with many tunnels and then going up to the mountains covered in mist. Road should be better maintained and renovated but it is also amazing to see what was done in the past without modern technology.

Breath taking views.... Untouched nature. . Ok rest stop.

Hannibal P — Google review

What a beautiful and scenic lake. The water here is so clear and blue, and the beautiful rocks that surround the lake are great to sit on. There was almost no shade so keep that in mind, and try not to get too close to the trees since there are a ton of mosquitoes there. Keep this in mind and you will have a great time here. The lake is not crowded at all and it's so quiet here that it makes a fantastic place to rest.

Great scenery, very old road through the mountain. Lots of vehicles are passing by here, so it's kinda hard to find the space to take some photos.

Waterfalls

Slide 1 of 8

We went when it was too hot, so there was no water 'fall', but the water was beautiful. Bright blue and very clear, you could see the bottom where it was shallow. The color of the water was even better than some of the Montenegrin beaches. Lots of people were swimming in the water. There is a restaurant nearby. I loved this place.

Farsana S — Google review

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.

Жоро Б — Google review

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.

Koen Z — Google review

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.

Ruth D — Google review

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! 🎉✨️👌🙏

Anđela V — Google review

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.

Haytham A — Google review

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

Viktoria O — Google review

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.

The bridge itself is full of history but nothing too special. The highlight is the park surrounding it instead, it's quiet and chill, perfect for a short afternoon walk.

Yuhng Y — Google review

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.

M B — Google review

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!

Oliver L — Google review

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.

Deniz — Google review

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.”
