memorial by the millenium bridge - Podgorica

I flew into Podgorica hours before HORSCHECK arrived. So I had time to take a walk from the hotel to the bus/railway station to check out the timetables for the next day, when we continued our trip to Ulcinj.

In the evening we took a walk from the hotel into downtown Podgorica where we tried to find a restaurant to have a meal. This wasn't easy at all as there are lots of cafés without meals or else as it was a Saturday night they were all packed and who wants to sit inside on a warm evening?!

Good practical tips, and it's always nice to know which side of a train to sit on for the best views :-)

Good useful tips, but as there are no flights from Helsinki direct to this place, we haven't been here.... yet :)

Sieht mir aus wie ein Transitpunkt, nix sonst, oder? Wenigstens haben sie direkte Flüge von/nach Zürich!
