Tours and activities from Podgorica
Podgorica is the capital and administrative center. It isn't a traditional tourist destination itself, but it's an ideal starting point for day tours in every direction — Ostrog (40 min northwest), Skadar Lake (15 min southeast), Cetinje (35 min west) and Žabljak/Durmitor (2h north).
Podgorica also has an international airport — many agencies offer pickup straight from the terminal and a same-day program. The season for most programs is May–October; monasteries and cultural tours run year-round.
