List of Podgorica Neighbourhoods and Suburbs - Gornja Gorica & Donja Gorica

Gornja Gorica & Donja Gorica

Gornja Gorica and Donja Gorica are named after the hill that separates them. However, it should be noted that there are two hills named Gorica in Podgorica: one overlooking the very city center, and one 4 km to the east, on the southeastern outskirts of the city. For easier orientation, they will be referred to as Central Gorica Hill, and East Gorica Hill in the text below.

Gornja Gorica (Upper Gorica) is neighbourhood located to the north of Cetinjski Road, and east of East Gorica Hill. It is a residential neighbourhood, except for the strip surrounding Cetinjski Road, which is packed with commercial facilities, such as Delta City Montenegro.

Donja Gorica (Lower Gorica) is neighbourhood which strethces along the road towards Cetinje, south of East Gorica Hill. It can be considered a suburb, due to its physical detachment from the rest of the city. It consists mostly of lowrise residential developments, except the part by the highway, which has a number of stores and warehouses.

As with Tološi, the residential part of those neighbourhoods developed in a spontaneous and informal way, resulting in winding and narrow streets between the private housing.
