Kotor - A Montenegrin Must See

by Iteris - last update: Apr 11, 2005

Kotor's Old Town

Kotor

Kotor is a fascinating town which lies at the foot of one of Europes deepest fjords. It's main attraction is an old medieval walled town which is UNESCO listed and dates back to the 12th Century.
Once in the fjord the views in all directions are fantastic, whether its from the port area looking up to the steep hills, or making your way up the winding path behind the old town to a height of atleast 400 ft!
Inside The Walled Town

The Old Town

Amongst the entanglement of streets lie old churches and squares which are linked together by narrow streets which contain shops, bars, restaurants, houses and quite a lot of cats and dogs.
Directly behind the old town the fjord rises steeply, and an ancient stone pathway consisting of over 1200 steps takes you to an old fortress at the top, passing many shrines and ruined battlements along the way.
Ascending The Winding Path

Stunning Views From Above Old Town

If it is not too hot, too dark, or too slippery, the highlight of your visit to Kotor will be climbing these old walls. The views are outstanding and it makes you feel like you are in another world.

 Oh I would love to go here...but it looks like I'm not going to be able to afford it! I'm going to be staying a month at Oxford, then cycling the NL ...and north England (!) and Copenhagen again this summer...and now Zurich. Montenegro may have to wait...

 very interesting. The word "koto" in the Malay language means "dirty"-which of course, this town is not! nice tips. Fiords are always interesting.

 Great pictures from your climb up the Kotor walls. Kotor and the surrounding scenery were definitely worth the visit.
