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.

Cetinje

Cetinje is the historic capital of Montenegro. The city is of enormous historical and spiritual value to Montenegro. During the siege of the Ottoman empire, Montenegro itself had, at numerous times, been reduced to just Cetinje and its surroundings.

Tuzi is a small town located about 10km outside of Podgorica populated by Ethnic Albanians and Bosniaks. It has nothing particular of interest except for the fact that if you are traveling from Montenegro to Albania from Podgorica or vice-versa you'll have to take a bus to this town and make a fairly difficult transfer to some other form of transport.
