Bay of Kotor and Kotor Old Town
Ideal: Medieval towns, walking, maritime history and landscape views
Kotor Old Town is a fortified historic port set where steep mountains descend to the Bay of Kotor. Medieval streets, squares, churches and maritime buildings form the cultural core of the UNESCO World Heritage property. The route up the fortifications offers wide bay views but includes many steep steps. Exploring both the enclosed town and waterfront provides the clearest understanding of how Kotor's natural setting and cultural history belong together.
Why go?
- UNESCO-listed Old Town
