Kotor is a gem of the Bay of Kotor and one of the best-preserved medieval ports on the Mediterranean. Nestled beneath the steep cliffs of Lovćen, this UNESCO-protected city captivates with its stone streets, Venetian palaces, and mighty walls that climb the hillside to the fortress of St. John. The combination of sea, mountains, and Venetian architecture makes Kotor one of the most photogenic cities on the Adriatic coast.
Everything you need for Kotor in one place
A medieval fortified city on the UNESCO World Heritage list, surrounded by mighty walls that have protected the city for centuries. A labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets conceals Romanesque churches, Venetian palaces, squares, and historic buildings that bear witness to Kotor's rich past. It represents one of the best-preserved medieval cities on the Adriatic.
An imposing fortress standing at approximately 260 meters above sea level above Kotor, part of the city's defensive system that was expanded and enlarged over the centuries, particularly during the period of Venetian rule. The ascent of roughly 1,350 steps is rewarded with a spectacular view of the Bay of Kotor, the old town, and the surrounding mountains. Along the path stands the 16th-century Church of Our Lady of Health, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the way to the top.
A Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the patron saint of Kotor, built in the Romanesque style in 1166, and one of the most significant Romanesque structures in the Balkans. The interior houses the relics of Saint Tryphon and a precious Gothic-Renaissance ciborium from the 14th century. Two distinctive towers dominate the panorama of the old town.
A spectacular mountain park under UNESCO protection, known for the Black Lake, the Tara River Canyon, and peaks rising above 2,500 meters.
