Podgorica

Podgorica is a small, quiet city where safety is important. If you want a place that is not too busy, it is a nice change from the larger coastal towns like Kotor. The internet connection is good, making it a suitable place for people who want to work. When the sun goes down, the local bars and restaurants become lively with friendly locals. Some travelers find Podgorica a bit plain, with not much to see besides its parks and the river, but it is a good base for exploring Montenegro’s varied landscapes. It is very affordable compared to the tourist spots on the coast. Just be ready for some unusual sights, like a few empty buildings. English is not commonly spoken, which can be difficult, but people are usually friendly. For a look at local life and easier access to beautiful lakes and mountains, Podgorica might surprise you if you see it as a place to explore rather than just a destination.
