Day 1 - Touchdown in Podgorica and Must-visit City Landmarks
Kick-off your Montenegrin escapade by starting with the heart of Podgorica. From Tivat Airport, catch a taxi or bus ride for around 90 minutes to reach the city centre. Begin by stepping back in time at the Old Town, where ancient Ottoman-style buildings tell tales of yesteryears. Up next, appreciate another architectural masterpiece at the Cathedral of the Resurrection - you have to see those amazing frescoes! Time flies when you’re exploring! Feeling peckish? How about trying the local grub at Njeguši, famous for their smoky prosciutto. End your day unwinding by the relaxing Moraca River, right in the city centre!
Day 2 - Immersion in Nature’s Wonders
After tasting the city life, let's get lost in the arms of nature, shall we? A short drive away from the city is the Lake Skadar National Park. Its vast, lustrous lake surrounded by verdant mountains is a sight for sore eyes. Pack a delicious picnic basket and enjoy an unforgettable lunch with a view. Up next, get ready for some exotic bird-watching, or maybe even wild boar spotting - adventurous, right? As the day ends, hop onboard a boat tour to witness the sun setting over the beautiful lake. How about a scrumptious fish meal for dinner by the lake? Sounds delightful to me!
Day 3 - Retail Therapy and Cultural Exploration
Who said shopping and culture can't go hand in hand? Begin your day with a laid-back shopping spree at Capital Plaza, and don't forget to get some mementos! After a quick lunch at a nearby local deli, journey onwards to King Nikolas Museum. Here, unlock the doors of history as you learn about the fascinating period of King Nikola's reign. Wrap up your day at the bustling Plantaze Vineyard.
