This city was NOTHING like we imagined... (48h in Montenegro's capital) 🇲🇪

Video Description

Montenegro surprised us… and Podgorica was nothing like we expected! In this vlog we spend the day exploring Montenegro’s capital — a city most travellers skip, but one that ended up showing us a completely different side of the Balkans. From modern architecture to quiet neighbourhoods, local cafés, river walks, and pockets of culture we didn’t even know existed, Podgorica turned into one of the most surprising stops of our trip. If you’re planning to visit Montenegro or you’re just curious about lesser-known European destinations, this video gives you a real and honest look at what Podgorica is actually like. 🇲🇪✨ In this vlog we explore: • Millennium Bridge & city viewpoints • Podgorica’s local cafés and neighbourhood life • Old town corners and hidden cultural spots • First impressions vs reality • Why this city feels so misunderstood • A candid look at Montenegro’s capital This is the kind of travel we love — discovering places people overlook, finding unexpected moments of beauty, and sharing the real experience of exploring Europe beyond the typical bucket-list stops. #montenegro #podgorica #montenegrotravel #travelvlog #podgoricaguide #travel *REACH OUT:* 📩 Work with us: [email protected] 📱 FOLLOW the journey on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/acrosseveryborder/?hl=en *USEFUL LINKS:* 🏨 Podgorica Apartment: https://booking.tpx.lv/TaRZ6CVu 🤑 Our international banking: https://wise.com/invite/irtc/sarac1607 🤕 Travel insurance: http://bit.ly/46CaQVQ 🥁 Royalty free music: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/elib8c *About Us:* We’re Sara & Ryan — a British & Swiss-Italian travel couple documenting hidden gems, underrated cities, and places with stories to tell.
