The capital of Montenegro
this capital is not as well-known as other capitals in other European cities. This is my first time came to podgorica as a stopover. the city itself is actually really peaceful and beautiful. the millennium bridge opened in 2015, the design is really modern. The view from that bridge is also stunning, which you can overlook the city that located by the side of River Moraça.
the centre is not too big, yet there are several bridges you can walk across to enjoy the view. there are also lots of parks around. you will find lots of benches for you to sit and relax.
there are some view points you can walk up, where you can overlook the city and the mountains behind.
overall, if you have time, come to check the city out#passionpassport #gooutside #bucketlistreboot #mountainview

Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro known for its church and bridge
Podgorica is the capital of the Republic of Montenegro, located on the Moraca River in the Skutari Basin in the southeast of Montenegro, and is the political and economic center of Montenegro. It is about 98 kilometers by car from the old town of Kotor, the road is not very good, and it took us 1 hour and 52 minutes.
Podgorica is a rapidly developing city with complete facilities and is the city with the most development potential in Montenegro. The church and bridge are must-visit landmarks here.
🏛 Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ:
Construction began in 1933, fulfilling the long-standing spiritual wishes and needs of Orthodox Christians. The exterior of the church is simple, but the interior has great architectural and artistic value, with its exquisite decorations, stone sculptures, frescoes, icon paintings, mosaics, and wood carvings, it has become a unique church in the entire Orthodox world! After visiting, I was quite shocked, speechless at the delicacy~ It is the most classic Orthodox church I have ever seen, being someone who is rarely amazed.
🌉 Millennium Bridge:
The Millennium Bridge over the Moraca River is a uniquely designed white cable-stayed bridge, which was opened on Montenegro's National Day in 2005. The bridge is 173 meters long and is a landmark of Podgorica, as well as the boundary between the new town and the old town.
Locals said that on the day the Millennium Bridge opened, the entire capital celebrated wildly, with fireworks and firecrackers celebrating 🥳 into the late night...
Of course, for someone like me who comes from Chongqing, a city of bridges, I've seen too many bridges to be very interested. I would rather spend more time appreciating the exquisite interior of the church.
