   I took a boat trip on Lake Skadar. The lake was beautiful, carpeted with water lilies and you could see lots of different birds there. The surrounding mountains created a beautiful scenery. We stopped at one place called Etno Selo Pješačac, where we had lunch and the people from the boat could spend some time on a small beach and swim in the lake. The boat trip, including a stop for lunch, took approx. 4 hours. It was a very nice, relaxing spent time. See more..

11. 4.5 Moraca River (195 reviews)
    - Awesome river
    Bodies of Water
    
    
    The symbol of Podgorica and also the greatest river flowing through the Capital. Its deep riverbed, large rocks and icy temperatures are just some of the main characteristics of this mountain river. On its way through the Capital, Moraca also carved out many caves. It is 113 kilometres long, and it runs from north to south, flowing into the Skadar Lake. See more..
    
12. 4.5 Moraca River Canyon (72 reviews)
    - You have to see this place
    Canyons
    
    
    Moraca Canyon is a place you have to see. Also, section that you have to drive at least once. The fun begins about fifteen kilometers after Kolasin and hundred from entering the MNE from Serbia (depends on where you crossed the "border"). These fifty kilometers is the best part of the road from entering Montenegro until Skadar Lake. Along the way you will follow the river ...and Morača will follow you. I believe that you will often stop the car. Prepare the camera, insert a larger memory card. Take your time because it is not simply crossing the sections. This is the beauty revealed behind every corner, at the exit of every tunnel. Road carved into the cliff underneath which meanders the Moraca, skipping over rocks, rushing to Lake Skadar. Arm yourself with patience. This is not the road that forgives the rush. It's road for enjoying... the ride, landscapes and crystal emerald river. See more..

14. 4.5 13 Jul-Plantaze Vineyard (39 reviews)
    - Phenomenal Tour of Winery!
    Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Wineries & Vineyards
    
    
    This was probably one of the best winery tour and wine tasting I've ever done anywhere in the World! From the moment we arrived, our sommelier and guide Jelena made us feel right at home! She was so passionate about the Montenegrin wines, especially the wines that were produced there. She gave us a great overlook and history on the winery, as well as an outstanding wine tasting paired with some local foods. We were so amazed on how amazing each wine was, especially considering the region. The tasting was so wonderful, and each pairing was a perfect match! We really loved the trout, as it was so flavourful! Jelena and Vesna took great care of us with each course/pairing we had. I can't say enough on how impressed we were with this wine tour. The winery, the setup, the atmosphere, and the wines were just SPECTACULAR! I can't recommend this place enough! See more..

    - Nice for sightseeing and swimming
    Spent < 1 hour Waterfalls
    
    
    We visited in July and unfortunately there was no waterfall because it hadn't rained in Montenegro for the last two months. However, it was exciting to walk around among the rocks. In addition, there is also the possibility to swim, and the water was pleasantly warm. Access is from the restaurant Niagara, and you can also park your car there for free. See more..

    Just south of downtown to reach the Old Ribnica Bridge. This bridge was built when Montenegro was under the Roman Empire and is the oldest bridge in Podgorica. Today you can see that it had major reconstruction when they were under the rule of the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century. The water was a gorgeous blue. The Ribnica river which flows under this bridge flows right into the Moraca river. When you are here, you can spend time just marveling at the bridge on your feet, or having a seat and really soaking it in. There is blue rushing water that goes under the bridge and there is plenty of land to walk around and enjoy the area. See more..
