Podgorica Travel and Tourism Guide

Podgorica is the capital and largest city of Republic of Montenegro. Most of the city was destroyed during World War II, so Podgorica is relatively new. During its long history it survived great events and impacts. The name of the town has been changed several times: from Birziminijum and Alata in the slavery system, pre feudal – Ribnica, to feudal Podgorica. At the year 1946 it took the name of Josip Broz Tito, president of SFRJ, and got the name Titograd. In 1992 Titograd once again was renamed into Podgorica, the name which it has today.
The climate is Mediterranean; summers are dry, long and extremely warm, and the winters are mild, with often rainfalls.
