Kotor

Overview

Take a trip to Kotor on your Montenegro vacation.

Kotor, Montenegro is cradled by imposing mountains and caressed by the Adriatic Sea. At the heart of Kotor lies its UNESCO-listed Old Town, enclosed within centuries-old fortified walls. Wander through the maze of alleyways and discover the history engrained in every cobblestone. The stunning fusion of Venetian and Byzantine architecture is a testament to the town's rich past. Climb the ancient city walls for a bird's-eye view of the town and the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, one of Europe's most dramatic natural landscapes. 

Kotor's maritime heritage is evident as you explore the bustling harbour filled with bobbing fishing boats and elegant, modern-day yachts. The Maritime Museum on the Square of the Boka fleet, opened in 1900, will immerse you in the history of Kotor seamen, artists, and shipbuilders who helped define Kotor. 

Visit the stunning 12th-century St. Tryphon's Cathedral, showcasing Romanesque architecture and a captivating collection of religious art, before indulging in the charming cafes and restaurants in the Old Town. 

Venture beyond Kotor's walls after savouring local delicacies and fine Montenegrin wines to the hiking trails leading you to the hillsides, offering dramatic views of the bay and beyond. Take a boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks, an islet almost entirely man-made with an intriguing legend and a church highlighted with maritime offerings. Immerse yourself in the timeless and breathtaking charm of Kotor and discover the haven where history, nature, and Montenegrin culture collide.
