Panoramic Montenegro

OVERVIEW

Spend free time discovering the charms of Montenegro’s capital and pause for pictures of the photogenic resort town Sveti Stefan. Podgorica lies a bit inland, directly across Lake Skadar from Bar, so you will follow a circuitous route to reach the city, whose name reflects the hill Gorica that it blankets. After the collapse of Communism in the early 1990s, Podgorica has flourished and today is a delightful mix of historical and modern attractions. Depending on your interests, you might stop at the Museum of Podgorica for an overall understanding of the area or see the colorful frescoes in the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. As you continue your journey, you will head to restaurant "Konak," nestled nearby Old Royal Cetinje. Here, savor a delightful traditional snack, combined with few more facts of the area. Take a scenic route to Sveti Stefan, where you will pause for photos of the exclusive resort area that is connected to the mainland by a thin, sandy spit of land.
