About Gorica Hill & Mediterranean garden
Gorica Hill, right by the centre, is the city’s favourite place for exercise and fresh air: walking, cycling and triathlon trails, the Partisan Fighter memorial, an adventure park and a Mediterranean garden of endemic species. From the top you look over the Morača and the Millennium Bridge. Our advice: walk up in the early morning or at dusk in summer.
