Bulevar Svetog Petra Cetinjskog is Podgorica's main artery, and the stretch around Trg Republike is where the city is at its most public: ministries and embassies on one side, and a wide, fountain-set square that fills every evening with the slow, sociable walking Montenegrins call korzo. Njegošev Park lies across the boulevard, its plane trees deep enough to make August bearable, and the pedestrianised Hercegovačka runs off the square lined end to end with café terraces where the day's business is genuinely conducted.
Almost everything worth seeing in the centre is within a twenty-minute walk. The Morača drops into its gorge behind the square, crossed by the Millennium Bridge and the older Blažo Jovanović bridge, with shingle banks and swimming holes below in summer. Beyond the water lies Stara Varoš, the surviving Ottoman quarter, with its clock tower and low minarets. Restaurants in this quarter run the full range a diplomatic city accumulates — grilled Skadar Lake fish and Zeta-plain lamb alongside Lebanese and Italian kitchens — and the surrounding vineyards supply wine by the carafe. For anything further afield, the boulevard is also the road out: the airport is roughly fifteen minutes south, Cetinje forty west.
