This deep sea inlet, carved into towering mountains, is often called Europe&#8217;s southernmost fjord \u2014 even though geologically it isn&#8217;t a fjord at all. The bay is framed by majestic limestone peaks, and beneath them huddles a <strong>Venetian labyrinth of narrow lanes<\/strong> full of history, cats and the smell of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re thinking about visiting this photogenic gem, I have to flag one absolutely crucial thing right from the start \u2014 something that can either make or completely ruin your holiday. Kotor is a victim of so-called overtourism, and during the summer months <strong>up to four enormous cruise ships dock here every single day<\/strong>, disgorging as many as ten thousand day-trippers into a small town of barely fourteen thousand residents. Trust me, elbowing through the crowds in narrow stone alleys at high noon is not something you want to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a perfect experience is therefore smart planning and good timing, because <strong>early in the morning or in the late afternoon<\/strong> the town transforms into an utterly romantic oasis. In this article I&#8217;ll point you towards the most beautiful spots, give you advice on parking and accommodation, and throw in a few secret tips on <strong>how to dodge the biggest crowds<\/strong> \u2014 and even skip the entry fee to the town walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kotor-cerna-hora.jpg\" alt=\"Kotor, Montenegro on the Bay of Kotor\" class=\"wp-image-99392\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kotor-cerna-hora.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kotor-cerna-hora-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kotor-cerna-hora-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kotor-cerna-hora-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Kotor-cerna-hora-696x365.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8216;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/kotor-montenegro-things-to-do\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/kotor-montenegro-things-to-do\/#When_to_Visit_Kotor\" >When to Visit Kotor<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/kotor-montenegro-things-to-do\/#Where_to_Stay_in_Kotor\" >Where to Stay in Kotor<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/kotor-montenegro-things-to-do\/#15_Things_to_See_and_Do_in_Kotor\" >15 Things to See and Do in Kotor<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/kotor-montenegro-things-to-do\/#1_The_Main_Square_and_the_Sea_Gate\" >1.

Those months also mean <strong>the highest accommodation prices and endless traffic jams<\/strong> on the coastal road linking the surrounding resorts with the centre. If you&#8217;re checking the Kotor, Montenegro weather before you book, those are the months to think twice about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best balance of pleasant weather and a bearable number of tourists comes in <strong>June and especially in September<\/strong>, when the sea is still beautifully warm for swimming at around 23 to 25 degrees. Late September is then an absolutely ideal choice for anyone who wants to be sure all the monuments and restaurants are still open, while the streets already breathe a sense of calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the time of day, it pays to check the <strong>current cruise ship schedule<\/strong> before your visit on specialist sites like cruisetimetables.com. Ships usually moor in the harbour between ten in the morning and four in the afternoon, so I recommend using exactly that window to slip out of town \u2014 to a beach, into the mountains, or onto a boat trip around the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Kotor\" class=\"wp-image-233428\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kde-se-ubytovat-v-kotoru-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: August Dominus \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Kotor\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Kotor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We like to look for places to stay on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, where the cancellation terms tend to be the best.

You&#8217;ll have a slightly longer way into the centre from here, but a pleasant evening stroll along the bay has a huge charm of its own \u2014 and you&#8217;ll usually park without any trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve put together a <strong>selection of highly rated hotels<\/strong> that travellers consistently recommend across a range of price brackets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Old%20Town%20Hostel%20Kotor&amp;address=Kotor%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Old Town Hostel Kotor<\/a><\/strong> (budget): A fantastic choice for backpackers and solo travellers looking for cheap accommodation right in the heart of the walls, with both shared dorms and clean private doubles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Hotel%20Vardar&amp;address=Kotor%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Vardar<\/a><\/strong> (mid-range): A reliable and very popular hotel right on the main Square of Arms, offering great value for money and a lively terrace in the middle of the action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Guesthouse%20Palazzo%20Drusko%20Deluxe%20Rooms&amp;address=Kotor%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Guesthouse Palazzo Drusko Deluxe Rooms<\/a><\/strong> (mid-range boutique): A charming six-hundred-year-old noble stone house just steps from the cathedral, where you&#8217;ll be won over by the period furnishings and incredibly helpful staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Boutique%20Hotel%20Hippocampus&amp;address=Kotor%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Boutique Hotel Hippocampus<\/a><\/strong> (boutique hotel): A beautifully renovated design hotel tucked away in the lanes of the UNESCO centre, whose big advantage is a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the walls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Boutique%20Hotel%20Astoria%20Kotor&amp;address=Kotor%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Boutique Hotel Astoria Kotor<\/a><\/strong> (four-star boutique): A more upmarket option right in the town centre, frequently praised in reviews for its exceptionally generous breakfasts and very comfortable rooms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Palazzo%20Radomiri%20Heritage%20Boutique%20Hotel&amp;address=Dobrota%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Palazzo Radomiri Heritage Boutique Hotel<\/a><\/strong> (luxury): A restored 18th-century sea captain&#8217;s palace in tranquil Dobrota, offering a pool surrounded by greenery, morning yoga and the perfect escape from the tourist crowds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kotor&amp;hotelname=Forza%20Mare%20Hotel&amp;address=Dobrota%2C%20%C4%8Cern%C3%A1%20Hora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Forza Mare Hotel<\/a><\/strong> (five-star luxury): A truly exceptional hotel in Dobrota with ten themed rooms, its own private beach and even a private speedboat for guests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Things_to_See_and_Do_in_Kotor\"><\/span>15 Things to See and Do in Kotor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look together at the very best this Montenegrin town and its immediate surroundings have to offer.

Above the passageway, be sure to notice the curious contrast: next to the historic Venetian winged lion of St Mark you&#8217;ll see a carved communist slogan commemorating the town&#8217;s liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just past the gate, the <strong>Square of Arms (Trg od oru\u017eja)<\/strong> opens up in front of you \u2014 the largest and liveliest open space in the whole town. The square is dominated by a beautiful 17th-century clock tower, and in front of it stands the stone pillar of shame, where local wrongdoers were once punished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is the first place the cruise-ship crowds head for, it gets seriously packed during the day. If you want to photograph the square without people and enjoy your morning coffee in peace, <strong>get up early and arrive before nine in the morning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona.jpg\" alt=\"Cathedral of St Tryphon in Kotor\" class=\"wp-image-233433\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-katedrala-svateho-tryfona-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: krysi@ \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Cathedral_of_St_Tryphon\"><\/span>2. The Cathedral of St Tryphon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This stunning Romanesque-Gothic building is an absolute symbol of the town, and its history goes all the way back to 1166 \u2014 which means it&#8217;s <strong>older than many of Europe&#8217;s famous cathedrals<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll recognise it at a glance by its two asymmetrical towers, which had to be rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, you&#8217;ll be drawn above all to the ornate ciborium over the main altar, and on the upper floor you&#8217;ll find a rich treasury. Here lies the <strong>precious reliquary holding the remains of St Tryphon<\/strong>, the patron and protector of the entire town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to the cathedral, which includes the upstairs museum and access to a small balcony overlooking the square, costs <strong>around \u20ac3 to \u20ac4<\/strong>.

The Church of St Luke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a quieter part of town, on St Luke&#8217;s Square, you&#8217;ll discover a tiny but historically fascinating Romanesque church dating from 1195. Its true uniqueness lies in the fact that for centuries it <strong>served Catholic and Orthodox worshippers at the same time<\/strong>, which is why it once had two separate altars inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you step inside, don&#8217;t forget to look down at your feet, because <strong>the floor is made up of old gravestones<\/strong> that lend the place a very particular atmosphere. Entry to the church is free, though you can leave a small voluntary donation in the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right next door stands the much larger and more ornate <strong>Orthodox Church of St Nicholas<\/strong>, built at the beginning of the 20th century. This little square is generally a touch calmer than the rest of the centre, as large tour groups often never make it this far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix.jpg\" alt=\"Kotor town walls climbing up to San Giovanni Fortress\" class=\"wp-image-234576\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-hradby-san-giovanni-fix-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Julien Goettelmann \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Town_Walls_and_San_Giovanni_Fortress\"><\/span>4.

Roughly <strong>1,350 stone steps<\/strong> await you, winding steeply up the slope to San Giovanni Fortress (St John), perched at a respectable 260 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your reward for the sweat-soaked shirt is <strong>the most iconic view over the whole bay<\/strong> and the red rooftops of the old town \u2014 the one you know from every postcard. The climb up itself takes about 45 to 60 minutes, but with frequent stops to take photos and catch your breath, set aside at least two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In peak season admission runs <strong>around \u20ac8 to \u20ac15<\/strong>, with children under twelve usually getting in free. \ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you reach the turnstiles early in the morning, typically before seven, the gate is often open and the ticket booth unstaffed \u2014 so you&#8217;ll enjoy the climb for free and, better still, in the shade, away from the murderous midday heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px.jpg\" alt=\"The secret Ladder of Kotor trail\" class=\"wp-image-233437\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tajna-stezka-ladder-of-kotor-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Sebastien Devocelle \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_Secret_%E2%80%9CLadder_of_Kotor%E2%80%9D_Trail\"><\/span>5.

This narrow, rocky, switchback trail <strong>starts discreetly behind the North (or River) Gate<\/strong> and originally served to supply the mountain villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About halfway up this steep climb you&#8217;ll come across a small <strong>window in the wall that you can clamber through for free<\/strong>, straight onto the official staircase to San Giovanni Fortress. That way you bypass the main ticket booth down in town, and along the way you can stop at the picturesque little Church of Our Lady of Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, though, that this trail is genuinely rocky, has no railings and turns into a furnace in the sun. <strong>Sturdy shoes and plenty of drinking water are an absolute must<\/strong>, as is an early morning start before the sun bears down on the slope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1442\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix.jpg\" alt=\"Maritime Museum of Montenegro in the baroque Grgurina Palace\" class=\"wp-image-234577\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-700x526.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-1536x1154.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-696x523.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-namorni-muzeum-fix-1392x1045.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Diego Delso \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_Maritime_Museum_of_Montenegro\"><\/span>6. The Maritime Museum of Montenegro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For lovers of history and ships \u2014 or simply as a great refuge from the midday heat or an unexpected downpour \u2014 I recommend a visit to the Maritime Museum (Pomorski muzej). It&#8217;s housed in the beautiful baroque Grgurina Palace on Boka Square, and its collection is surprisingly rich and very engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you&#8217;ll find <strong>gorgeous, detailed models of old sailing ships<\/strong>, historic weapons, old navigation charts and portraits of famous local captains. The silver votive offerings on display clearly show just how much wealth flowed into the town in the days when it had one of the strongest merchant fleets on the entire Adriatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission costs <strong>around \u20ac6<\/strong> and the price includes a handy audio guide that brings the whole tour to life beautifully. In season the museum tends to be open from eight in the morning until six in the evening, so it&#8217;s easy to pop in while wandering the lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

According to old legend, they were brought here by sailors from all over the world to protect the town and its ships from rampaging rodents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The locals are duly proud of their animal residents and have even set up a <strong>small and very endearing Cat Museum<\/strong> on the little Gospa od An\u0111ela square. Inside you&#8217;ll find a collection of historic postcards, old engravings, stamps and various artefacts all featuring these four-legged friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the museum is more or less symbolic \u2014 you&#8217;ll pay just <strong>\u20ac1<\/strong>, and all the proceeds go directly towards feeding and providing veterinary care for the street cats. It&#8217;s a great stop especially if you&#8217;re travelling with children, who are sure to love photographing the furry friends in the alleys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px.jpg\" alt=\"Boat trip around the Bay of Kotor\" class=\"wp-image-233440\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-lodni-vylet-po-zalivu-boka-px-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Daciana Cristina Visan \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_A_Boat_Trip_Around_the_Bay_of_Kotor\"><\/span>8. A Boat Trip Around the Bay of Kotor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A stay by the sea wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a proper boat trip \u2014 which, incidentally, is the single most popular activity in the whole area. Dozens of speedboats set off daily straight from Kotor&#8217;s pier, taking you on a fascinating exploration of the bay and the natural beauty around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic few-hour loop takes you out to the iconic islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, to the old island fortress of Mamula, and climaxes with <strong>a swim in the neon-blue water of the so-called Blue Cave<\/strong>. Along the way you&#8217;ll often spot the abandoned submarine tunnels left behind by the former Yugoslav army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A seat on a group speedboat for around twelve people will set you back <strong>roughly \u20ac30 to \u20ac35 per person<\/strong>.

An incredible <strong>25 sharp hairpin bends carved into the rock<\/strong> await you, forming one of the most dramatic roads in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your reward for a little stress behind the wheel is <strong>the very best view of the entire Bay of Kotor<\/strong>, which opens up from around the thirteenth bend and peaks at the twenty-fifth. During the summer season there&#8217;s often a small makeshift caf\u00e9 near the top, where you can grab an iced coffee and drink in the view from over a thousand metres up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The road is genuinely narrow, has no crash barriers, and passing oncoming traffic calls for a steady hand and steady nerves. <strong>Definitely don&#8217;t set off here between ten in the morning and two in the afternoon<\/strong>, when big tour buses full of cruise passengers come through and cause traffic chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px.jpg\" alt=\"Cheese stop in the village of Njegu\u0161i\" class=\"wp-image-233442\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px-696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-zastavka-na-syr-ve-vesnici-njegusi-px-1392x929.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: MEHMET KAYNAR \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_A_Cheese_Stop_in_the_Village_of_Njegusi\"><\/span>10. A Cheese Stop in the Village of Njegu\u0161i<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve conquered those crazy switchbacks, it would be a huge shame not to carry on a little further to the mountain village of Njegu\u0161i, set in a scenic saddle beneath Mount Lov\u0107en. This is where the famous Montenegrin ruler and poet Petar II Petrovi\u0107-Njego\u0161 came from \u2014 the man after whom the famous mausoleum on the mountain&#8217;s summit is named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The village, though, is famous above all for its food \u2014 specifically the local meat speciality njegu\u0161ki pr\u0161ut and its fantastic cheeses. If you&#8217;re vegetarian, or simply love cheese, be sure to order a <strong>plate piled with the superb hard njegu\u0161ki sir<\/strong> in one of the traditional konobas (taverns); it matures in the clean mountain air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cheese is often served <strong>drizzled with local honey and paired with fresh olives<\/strong> and homemade bread \u2014 an absolutely perfect, light mountain snack. From the town centre you can drive here in about forty minutes along that winding road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2.jpg\" alt=\"Roman mosaics in Risan\" class=\"wp-image-234640\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-risan-fix2-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: unknown author \/ Wikimedia Commons, Public domain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_The_Roman_Mosaics_in_Risan\"><\/span>11. The Roman Mosaics in Risan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take a drive along the shore of the bay, stop after about fifteen kilometres in the little town of Risan, the oldest recorded settlement in the whole of the Bay of Kotor. It was once an important Illyrian capital of the feared Queen Teuta; today, though, it&#8217;s a far quieter place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main draw here is the remains of a Roman villa from the second century AD, in which some wonderful floor mosaics have survived. The most precious is undoubtedly the central section, featuring the <strong>only known depiction of Hypnos<\/strong>, the Greek god of sleep, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to this archaeological site is a reasonable <strong>\u20ac5<\/strong>, and in the summer season it&#8217;s open from eight in the morning until eight in the evening. Bear in mind, though, that if you come in winter \u2014 specifically in January \u2014 the site is closed completely, and for the rest of the winter it also closes every Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1467\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky.jpg\" alt=\"Harbour with little boats in the Bay of Kotor\" class=\"wp-image-234265\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-pristav-lodky-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Swimming_and_the_Promenade_in_Dobrota\"><\/span>12.

Don&#8217;t expect any wide sandy beaches with beach clubs here, but rather <strong>a system of concrete jetties, stone platforms and ladders<\/strong> leading straight into the crystal-clear water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is exactly the place where the locals come to swim and unwind after work, so there&#8217;s a far more laid-back atmosphere than in the overcrowded centre. You&#8217;ll find the best access to the water near the well-known Hotel Vardar Dobrota, for example, or around the picturesque little Church of St Eustace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s more, a long, flat promenade runs along the water, <strong>absolutely ideal for an evening stroll or a bike ride<\/strong>. Just don&#8217;t forget to pack water shoes, because the bottom of the bay is very rocky and the odd sea urchin sometimes hides down there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px.jpg\" alt=\"A quiet escape to the villages of Muo and Pr\u010danj\" class=\"wp-image-233448\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-tichy-unik-do-vesnicek-muo-a-prcanj-px-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Art\u016bras Kokorevas \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_A_Quiet_Escape_to_the_Villages_of_Muo_and_Prcanj\"><\/span>13.

They sit directly across from the main town, so they <strong>offer the most beautiful view of the medieval walls<\/strong> climbing the hill on the opposite side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pr\u010danj in particular is worth a closer look, as you&#8217;ll see plenty of dilapidated and restored palaces of old sea captains. The village is dominated by the enormous baroque <strong>Bogorodi\u010din hram (Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary)<\/strong>, reached by a monumental staircase and the largest church in the entire bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the centre you can reach the village of Muo on a pleasant waterside walk in about twenty minutes, or you can use the little water taxis that ply the bay. It&#8217;s the perfect place to escape to when you want to <strong>enjoy a quiet lunch with a view of the water<\/strong> and avoid the crush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px.jpg\" alt=\"The town beach and clear water in Orahovac\" class=\"wp-image-233450\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-mestska-plaz-a-cista-voda-v-orahovaci-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Bar\u0131\u015f T\u00fcrk\u00f6z \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_The_Town_Beach_and_the_Clear_Water_in_Orahovac\"><\/span>14.

It&#8217;s made up of fine pebbles and offers a unique view straight onto the fortifications, but be warned that <strong>in peak season it&#8217;s hopelessly packed to bursting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A much better tip for a full day of swimming is the village of Orahovac, about ten kilometres north along the coastal road. The locals agree that, thanks to particular sea currents and underwater springs, this is <strong>the cleanest water in the entire bay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also find organised sun loungers and parasols you can rent for a fee here, although the prices climb quite high in summer. The water in the bay is very calm, with no big waves, and <strong>it&#8217;s good for swimming from roughly mid-May until the end of October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px.jpg\" alt=\"Half-day trip from Kotor to Perast, Montenegro\" class=\"wp-image-233452\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-puldenni-vylet-do-perastu-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Took A Snap \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_A_Half-Day_Trip_from_Kotor_to_Perast\"><\/span>15.

In this miniature settlement you&#8217;ll find an incredible sixteen churches and seventeen noble palaces, and no busy through-road runs through its heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason everyone comes here, though, is the iconic man-made islet of <strong>Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od \u0160krpjela)<\/strong>, which lies just off the shore. From the local pier any of the small boats will take you out there for <strong>\u20ac3 to \u20ac10<\/strong>, and you&#8217;ll be able to admire the amazing baroque frescoes and the fascinating collection of silver votive plaques inside the chapel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Parking in Perast is an absolute nightmare in the summer months, as the town has only two limited car parks on its edges. <strong>I recommend arriving here by seven in the morning at the latest<\/strong>, otherwise there&#8217;s a strong chance you won&#8217;t find a spot and will have to leave empty-handed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru.jpg\" alt=\"Where to go next from Kotor\" class=\"wp-image-233455\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kotor-kam-dal-z-kotoru-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: August Dominus \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next_from_Kotor\"><\/span>Where to Go Next from Kotor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve thoroughly explored the alleys and the bay, it would be a shame not to see the other parts of this wonderful and varied Balkan country too.

You&#8217;ll find plenty of practical information there to help you plan the very best itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While wandering the old town you&#8217;re bound to get hungry. From my own research and traveller reviews, I can warmly recommend a stop at <strong>Restobar Taraca<\/strong>, near the north gate, which offers great meat-free options like <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Buddha-Bar Hotel Prague\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/buddha-bar-hotel-prague\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">buddha<\/a> bowls and vegan curry.
