About the destination: Here’s a polished U.S. English version: With a population of fewer than 150,000 people, Podgorica is one of the smallest capitals in Europe. Because it was almost completely destroyed during World War II, the city today does not have many major sights to offer. Many of the buildings in the city center date from the socialist era of Yugoslavia, when Podgorica was called Titograd. One of the newer landmarks worth seeing is the Millennium Bridge (Most Milenijum), which opened in 2005. Trg Republike (Republic Square) is the main square in downtown Podgorica. It’s a pleasant shopping area with many nice restaurants and bars. Stara Varoš, the old Turkish quarter, is a typical Ottoman-era neighborhood with narrow, winding streets. The Clock Tower is one of the most important monuments in the old town. With a handful of quirky attractions, lots of students, a lively nightlife scene, good restaurants, and convenient transport connections, Podgorica is actually not a bad place to spend a day or two. The city has a reputation as a party town, and visitors will have no trouble making friends in one of its many cafés, bars, and clubs.

About the destination: Kotor is a coastal city in Montenegro, nestled in a secluded part of the Gulf of Kotor. It sits on the Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), one of the most indented areas of the Adriatic Sea.

The museum is located in the baroque palace Grgurin. • The Island Gospa od Skrpjela. The Island Gospa od Skrpjela is one of two beautiful islands in Kotor Bay, located across from Perast in the bay.
