Kotor Old Town is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the Adriatic. Enclosed by massive stone walls that date back to the Venetian period, this enchanting maze of cobblestone streets offers visitors a journey back in time.

The main entrance through the Sea Gate leads to the Arms Square, home to a clock tower that has been marking time since 1602. From here, you can explore the numerous churches, including the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, a Roman Catholic cathedral built in 1166.

For the adventurous, climbing the 1,350 steps to the fortress of San Giovanni rewards you with breathtaking views of the Bay of Kotor and the surrounding mountains. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and the midday heat.
