Podgorica is located at the crossroads of several important routes that lead down to the city along the valleys of the rivers Zeta, MoraÄa, Cijevna, Ribnica, and Sitnica, in the ravine of Skadar lake and in the vicinity of the Adriatic Sea, in the fertile lowland with favorable climate conditions.
Turkish occupation of Podgorica in 1474 interrupted economic, cultural and artistic rise of the city.
Podgorica Airport is situated 12 km south of the city, and is the main international airport in Montenegro.
