Podgorica
Podgorica, during SFR Yugoslavia named Titograd in honor of Josip Broz Tito, the long-lasting leader of Yugoslavia, is the capital of Montenegro. While not a typical European eye candy, the city is definitely worth visiting, owing to its interesting mix of old and new, its café culture and nightlife, and its laid back Mediterranean atmosphere.
