Watch Out For
⚠️Stara Varoš
Podgorica scores 56/100 on our stroller-friendliness scale. Below you'll find a full breakdown of terrain, transit accessibility, and family facilities — plus neighborhood-level tips and stroller vs. carrier advice for Podgorica.
📋 The Bottom Line
Podgorica is Montenegro's administrative capital (though most tourists go to the coast). The city center is relatively small and manageable, rebuilt after WWII with wider socialist-era streets. However, infrastructure is still developing, sidewalk quality varies, and public transport is limited. Montenegrin culture is very family-friendly and relaxed. The real attraction is nature - the nearby Morača River and Skadar Lake are beautiful for day trips.
