What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Morača River Promenade offers a beautiful natural escape within Podgorica, with many appreciating its scenic river views and peaceful atmosphere for walks and cycling. However, some visitors note issues with overgrown bushes obstructing views and occasional unpleasant odors, particularly in warmer weather, which can detract from the experience.
"What a disappointment! The view is obstructed by high bushes, and the smell tells you that people use this spot as a toilet, and not only for small businesses. The heat of July added to the smell."
