The airline\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wizzair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wizz Air<\/a>\u00a0started direct flights on June 7. Flights from Lithuania to Montenegro are operated twice per week.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><br \/>\u201cPodgorica is another European capital that passengers can now directly reach from Vilnius. This destination opens up even wider possibilities for summer holidays for travellers in our region \u2013 from the mountains and lakes of Montenegro to sunny sea beaches. This development demonstrates the importance of our partnership with Wizz Air \u2013 we are constantly striving to offer passengers more choices and discoveries in Europe, where the tourism infrastructure is well developed and provides a great experience,\u201d says Simonas Bartkus, CEO of Lithuanian Airports.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Montenegro is often referred to as the pearl of the Balkans. The capital of this country, Podgorica, is cozy with a population of about 180 thousand. It intertwines historical heritage, modern architecture and a calm southern rhythm of life. Travellers are attracted by the opportunity to walk through the old Stara Varo\u0161 quarter, visit the impressive Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, admire the Millennium Bridge, or take a breather in the green spaces of the city by the Moracha River. The city is a convenient starting point for exploring Montenegro\u2019s natural treasures, from Lake Skadar to mountain routes and the Adriatic coast.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\u201cWe are delighted to welcome passengers on Wizz Air\u2019s first flights between Vilnius and Podgorica. This new route further expands our flight network from Lithuania and gives travellers even more opportunities to explore Europe,\u201d says Salvatore Gabriele Imperiale, Head of Corporate Communications at Wizz Air. He confirms that Montenegro is a destination that combines spectacular nature, rich cultural heritage and the Adriatic coast, making this country an attractive choice for Lithuanian travellers. \u201cThe opening of this route reflects our continued commitment to the Lithuanian market and our desire to offer affordable and comfortable travel opportunities throughout Europe,\u201d emphasizes G. Imperiale.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>The new Vilnius-Podgorica route will complement Wizz Air\u2019s network of routes from Lithuania and provide travellers with even more opportunities to conveniently plan summer trips to Southern Europe.
