Kotor
Discover the best of Kotor, Montenegro. Wander the ancient alleyways, sip coffee in the town squares and experience the magic of this fairytale town for yourself. Kotor is this postcard-perfect fortified town. A fairytale destination, Kotor still looks the same as it did in the 17th century, with a beautifully preserved assortment of winding streets and charming churches. If you’re feeling active, climb the 1355 steps to the San Giovanni Fortress for a spectacular view of the Old Town (and an iconically Instagrammable moment). It’s no wonder that this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kotor Fortifications
The biggest highlight of Kotor, surely famous for a reason! The fortification stands proudly above the old town, glued to the steep Lovcen Mountains. Climbing up 1350 steps (some sources say even about 1500!) but the view is so rewarding you will forget about all the effort right away! On one side you can see Kotor Bay and once you move around you have the foretaste of Lovcen Mountains.
Walk along the Kotor Bay to Dobrota
If you’re looking for a pleasant escape from the Kotor Old Town crowds the walk along the Bay might be your answer. Nowadays Dobrota is practically just a continuation of Kotor town area (they belong to the same municipality). It is a historically distinct place, but now it functions almost like a single entity with Kotor town.
The scenery is amazing and it changes along the way.. You should also look back every now and then to see Kotor behind. Along your walk, you will notice a lot of palaces and historic homes. That’s also where you can find quiet, secluded beaches to relax. Dobrota really feels like the best getaway from hustle and bustle of Kotor Old Town!
Kotor Palaces
You will be amazed by a really big number of incredible palaces dating back to the 15th-18th centuries, the time of the town’s biggest prosperity. Kotor has always been a place of big importance and numerous noble families have lived here.
