M48***79:“A very new Orthodox church in Podgorica built in 2014. It is also the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans. It is very beautiful. You must go around to the back to see the many statues carved on the intact stone. It is very impressive.”

crystal jing:“2019.08.Podgorica - Millennium Bridge, street view: Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, is definitely the most ordinary capital I have ever seen. There are only a few high-rise buildings in the whole city, and there are many dirt roads out of the city. There is nothing to see or do, and no matter how you take photos, they don’t look good. It is also difficult for photographers to capture beautiful scenery!”

粤走粤远:“A detailed guide to Budva Old Town is here! Included is a hand-drawn aerial map! Budva, the pearl of Montenegro's Adriatic coast, boasts over 2,500 years of history, blending medieval architecture, azure seas and skies, and a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. I. Budva Old Town Key Sights and Route Map (see first and last images) ⌛️ Half-Day Highlights Route (2-3 hours) 1. Old Town Entrance (Sea Gate) Enter through the sea-facing "Sea Gate" and admire the Venetian-style arches and city walls. 2. St. Ivan's Church This 7th-century Gothic church, the highest point in the old town, offers panoramic views of the red rooftops and coastline. 3. Holy Trinity Church This Byzantine-style Orthodox church houses replicas of mosaics by the Russian icon painter Rublev. 4. Budva Citadel Entrance fee: €6. The wall walk offers the perfect vantage point for panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. 5. Stroll the Old Town Alleys Wander through the maze of cobblestone streets, exploring handicraft shops and galleries. ⌛️Day-long In-Depth Tour (5-6 hours) Morning: Visit the Old Town's Core Sights (same as above) Afternoon: Budva City Museum: Exhibits Greek and Roman artifacts and explores the city's millennia of evolution. "Dancing Girl": A 10-minute walk along the Mogren Beach promenade to see this iconic sculpture, symbolizing faithful love. Mogren Beach: A crescent-shaped beach on the west side of the old town, with clear waters, ideal for swimming and clifftop hiking. 2. Nearby Tours Route 1: Budva + Sveti Stefan Island (Half-Day Tour) Route 2: Budva + Kotor Old Town (Full-Day Tour) 🏡Accommodation: Pera Trixos Heritage Grand Hotel 🍖Restaurant: Restoran Stari Konak 👍The essence of Budva lies in its leisurely journey through the fusion of the ancient city and the sea. Daytimes, explore the millennia-old stories within its stone walls, and evenings, relax on the beach sipping local Vranac red wine. This truly lives up to its reputation as the "Balcony of the Adriatic Coast." [Value for Money] [Fun] [Scenery]”

Restaurant Zheng HE

Restaurant Zheng HE

4.6/56 Reviews
大海金国:“When I came to Montenegro, which is also called Montenegro, the capital city of Podgorica, I rarely encountered Asian restaurants, and even fewer Chinese restaurants. Zheng He Restaurant is the only tasteful hotel in the capital. The environment and decoration are quite good. When you enter the restaurant, you can feel the feeling of Zheng He sailing to the West. The service is warm and the taste is quite good. The chef has worked in a five-star hotel in China. The price is also reasonable. It is cheap to use the euro in EU countries. It is worth experiencing the place where you can change the taste of Western food for Chinese food every day. [Taste] It is quite good, the taste is good; [Environment] The decoration design is very comfortable and feels very clean; [Service] The service staff has a good attitude and there is also a Chinese menu;”
