WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO

One of the nicest things to do here is to go “lost” in Kotor’s Old Town, finding your own way through layers of its history and discovering interesting details. Here you can find some ideas about what to do and where to go in our lovely town.

THE CITY WALLS OF KOTOR
The completely preserved town walls of Kotor, 4,5 km in length, are one of the chief reasons that helped Kotor reach UNESCO’s list of world heritage sights. This extensive fortification system is even more impressive considering that it climbs up the fearsome hill behind the town surmounting its many cliffs to reach the top of 260m above sea level where the Fort of St John stands. Here formerly stood the Illyrian and Roman strongholds even before the “lower town” (present-day Kotor) developed and in a later era the hilltop was dominated by a Byzantine castle

m Hostel Kotor 17

The walls encircling the town and the hill were finished in the 14th century except for some sections which were unassailable to such an extent that they needed no protection. The medieval walls got their present-day appearance in the 16th and 17th centuries when they were reinforced and strengthened by the Venetians to withstand cannon fire. The fort was used by the army until the end of the Second World War. One of the fort’s peculiarities is an endemic species of slug almost blank in color Clausiliacatharenisis which lives only amongst its walls. Climbing to the top of St John’s is a must for each and every visitor of Kotor. This 45-minute climb up its stone stairways with a total of 1,450 steps opens aerial views of Kotor and dramatic vistas along its bay.

HIKING KOTOR

m Hostel Kotor 33

Kotor is surrounded by three mountains: Lovcen, Vrmac, and Orjen which are located in close proximity. That is why Kotor is a paradise for hikers. It is recommended not to hike alone but hire a licensed guide. Trails are not difficult but due to a big incline and high temperatures especially in summer, you need to be in good body condition.

CANYONING IN THE RIVER SKUDRA

m Hostel Kotor 34 For extreme sports, we suggest the canyoning of the Skurda River located just outside of the old town. The canyon is one of the most demanding in Montenegro and is a challenge even for the most experienced. The canyon is one of the biggest natural attractions in the town. If you are interested in this activity you can find videos on the internet and hire guides to be able to do this activity.

KAYAKING IN THE BAY OF KOTOR

m Hostel Kotor 35

Kotor Boka Bay coast is not open sea which is why there are no big waves, so the activities on the water are limited but kayaking is very popular in the bay and a great way to explore the bay. You can rent a kayak from April until the end of October and spend a lovely day on the sea.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kotor has a port but without any ferry departures to any Montenegrin or Adriatic city. In the port of Kotor cruise ships from all around the world come as well as private boats and yachts.

Because of its specific location, Kotor could spread only in the length, about 20km around Kotor Bay. Old Town is at the beginning of the bay. Kotor doesn’t have metro or city transportation so a taxi is mostly used.

Kotor doesn’t have sandy beaches. Kotor has only one small pebbled city beach, and numerous "ponta" (small concrete docks). If you love beaches Kotor is not an ideal option for you. People from Kotor as well as many tourists go to the excellent beaches located 10-30km away like Plavi Horizonti, Oblatno, Bajova Kula, Jaz Beach, etc. There are local buses to those beaches.

Nightlife in Kotor is mostly located in the old town where you can find many bars and a great nightclub called Maximus which organizes concerts of world-famous musicians and DJs.

In front of the St.Tryphon Cathedral and other attractive locations in the old town during July and August, many interesting events are organized. Among those, we recommend the KOTOR ART festival which brings many classical music artists, great world-famous artists, theatre, concerts of harmony singing, Festival of Theatre for Children, fashion events, etc. The most important events of the year, the Bokelian Night (Bokeska Noc) and the Summer Carnival are organized in August.

Kotor has a few remarkable restaurants where you can taste traditional dishes, especially fish and seafood. When looking at the prices in bars and restaurants Kotor is one of the more expensive cities in Montenegro. The average drink cost is 2-5€, meals are usually 10-15€ per person. Some restaurants will offer daily menus for 10€, while fast food meal cost is usually from 2-6€.

Greenmarket is located just in front of the city walls and is one of the symbols of the town. Fruit and vegetable prices are acceptable, but little expensive compared to the other towns in Montenegro. In supermarkets, prices are the same as in any other town in Montenegro.

Because of the large number of visitors, most of the shops in Kotor sell souvenirs. Some of those are done by local artists. While walking through the town you can often see the artist making souvenirs.

There are no exchange offices in Kotor, just banks with ATMs. Most of the banks are located on the Square of Arms in the old town and are open from 8 to 16 on working days, from 8 to 14 on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays.

There is a small shopping mall just outside of the city walls where you can buy clothes, shoes, cosmetics and sports equipment at standard prices. Kotor doesn’t have a traditional bazaar, which is why it’s not a town for low-budget shopping.
