Podgorica, the largest city in Montenegro, is nestled north of Lake Skadar and adjacent to vibrant coastal destinations lining the Adriatic Sea. Named after the tiny hill, "Gorica", from which it sits underneath, the city is graced by the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers, sitting at the foot of a picturesque mountainous terrain.

The first evidence of human settlement traces back to the late Stone Age, with the area later inhabited by two Illyrian tribes, the Labeates and the Docleatae. Over the centuries, the city evolved from Birziminium to Ribnica, before officially adopting the name of Podgorica in 1326. History echoes through its cobble-stone streets, with the ruins of the Roman-era town of Doclea just a stone's throw away and a rich political heritage that has sculpted the city's identity.

Despite experiencing extensive damage during World Wars I and II, the resilient spirit of Podgorica shone through. The city has seen substantial redevelopment since becoming the capital of the independent state, with striking landmarks like the Millennium Bridge narrating chapters of its vibrant journey.
