Njegoševa is one of the short central streets in the grid laid over Podgorica by successive twentieth-century planners, close enough to Trg Republike and the pedestrianised café strip that nothing in the centre needs a car. Walk a few minutes east and the ground falls away to the Ribnica, which joins the Morača just below in the oldest inhabited part of the city — a change of scale and century that happens within a single block.
That corner is Stara Varoš, the Ottoman quarter that survived the bombing of 1944 which erased most of old Podgorica. The Sahat Kula clock tower still stands over its small square, the Starodoganjska and Osmanagić mosques keep their minarets above the low roofs, and the ruins of the Ribnica fortress sit at the confluence with an old stone bridge beside them. It is a compact half-hour walk and the only part of the capital that reads as genuinely old. Back on the central streets, the day runs on coffee: long mornings on terraces, a lull through the searing afternoon, then a second life after eight when the whole city seems to be outside at once. The airport lies about fifteen minutes south.
