KOTOR TRAVEL GUIDE

Plan a better trip to Kotor

Kotor is one of Montenegro’s most distinctive destinations, combining a fortified medieval old town, dramatic mountain scenery and easy access to the Bay of Kotor.

The easiest way to plan Kotor is to combine the Old Town with one or two nearby places, then choose tours and accommodation around the number of days you have.

01

Why visit Kotor?

A compact historic centre, waterfront setting and easy access to the Bay of Kotor make Kotor one of the strongest first stops in Montenegro.

02

How many days?

One full day covers the Old Town and main sights. Two or three days give you time for Perast, the bay, a boat trip or another coastal stop.

04

Who is it for?

History lovers, couples, photographers, road-trip travelers and visitors combining Montenegro with Croatia.
