Whitehall Gardens

After watching the movie ‘Notting Hill‘ with Hugh Grant (‘Whoopsidaisies!‘) and Julia Roberts (‘Can I stay for a while?‘) we all know that there are numerous small gardens throughout London, England – some private, some available to the public. One of the latter is located near the river Thames between Embankment and Westminister. If you can distract your eyes from the river and London Eye and walk on the other side of the street you can find Whitehall Gardens.

In fact it’s a burger restaurant chain with different restaurants throughout the United Kingdom (London, Reading, Bristol, Cambridge, Brighton and Manchester).

Aerodrom Podgorica (TGD)

The Aerodrom Podgorica is the small airport of the capital city of Montenegro. It is located nine kilometers outside of Podgorica, Montenegro and can only be reached by taxi, rental car, and an hourly running bus. But as the costs for a taxi ride to city are about 6 Euros this is pretty acceptable.

Toranj na Dajbabskoj Gori

Not far from the city of Podgorica, Montenegro on hill Dajbabska Gora you can find a radio tower built between 2008 and 2011, the Toranj na Dajbabskoj Gori. It became one of the towns landmarks and can be seen from everywhere – especially when it is lighted up at night. It is 55 meters high and many people visit it.

Ramada Podgorica Hotel

The Ramada hotel at Podgorica, Montenegro is an absolute alien. A modern, futuristic building between rather unrenovated Soviet style residential buildings. It is the opposite of living like a local in this region of the capital city. I should have avoided this hotel therefore, but I loved it instead for different reasons: I arrived late in the evening at the bus station of Podgorica close to the railway station – from there it was an easy walk within eight minutes to the hotel.

Akademija piva

Between the Dvorac Petrovića and the unusual resurrection cathedral – but also not far away from the University of Crne Gore at Podgorica, Montenegro you can have a pitstop at the ‘PG akademija piva‘. It’s a brewery and a large restaurant serving not only craft beer but also great and very priceworthy food.

Unusual cathedral

The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ at Podgorica, Montenegro is a special one. It was consecrated only in 2013 after 10 years of construction works and belongs to the Serbian orthodox church. It is a shiny new church that comes with all the pomp an orthodox church needs to have.

Dvorac Petrovića

You shouldn’t expect too much when reading about the king’s palace at Podgorica, Montenegro. It is a nice building within the Kruševac park near river Morača, it was built in 1891 and became the winter palace of king Nikola of Montenegro. Later the building was used as a school, a hospital and today it is a museum.

Morača

The river Morača is a nearly 100 kilometers long stream at Montenegro that begins at the mountain Kapa Moračka and ends at the Lake Skadar. In fact it is the most important water source for the biggest lake of the balkans. The Morača changes its appearence from the mountains to the lake but it is the most time a river who cuts deep into the rocks. It can’t be used for shipping but it is a good place for water sports.

Marienplatz

Sometimes you might be missing home when you’re away. It does not happen to me, but I fully understand. At Podgorica, Montenegro Germans have the chance to cure that – because of the nice hotel, bar and restaurant called ‘Marienplatz‘ (named after that famous place at München, Germany). It is located close to the Trg Republike.
