Cradled by towering mountains and lapped by the calm waters of the Adriatic, Kotor is one of the most beautiful and historic towns in the Balkans — and a must-see destination for anyone visiting Montenegro.
With its medieval old town, UNESCO World Heritage status, scenic coastline, and nearby sea attractions, Kotor is more than just a postcard-perfect town — it's the cultural and maritime heart of the Bay of Kotor.
Kotor sits at the end of one of the world’s most stunning natural harbors — Boka Bay (Boka Kotorska) — often called Europe’s southernmost fjord. It’s just 15 minutes from Tivat and well connected by road and sea.
The Old Town (Stari Grad)
A perfectly preserved walled city, Kotor’s Old Town is a maze of narrow stone streets, charming squares, and centuries-old churches and palaces. Every corner has a story, from Venetian influence to Ottoman traces. Don’t miss:
St. Tryphon’s Cathedral (1166)
The Clock Tower (17th century)
Cats of Kotor – yes, they’re iconic here
Kotor Fortress Hike (San Giovanni)
For the best view in the Bay, climb the 1,350 steps to the fortress high above the town. The hike is challenging but offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Kotor, the bay, and surrounding mountains — well worth the effort.

From Kotor’s harbor, you can explore some of Montenegro’s most iconic sea attractions:

Harbor Life & Coastal Vibes
The waterfront promenade offers laid-back cafés, boat tours, street food, and artisan shops. It’s the ideal place to relax with a drink and watch the yachts and cruise ships come and go.
