This pretty town is not a huge tourist destination, but it is an underrated place perfect for summer holidays. The small seaside town of Montenegro, Kotor has been an important port since ancient times, and its rich history is still seen in its old cobblestone streets and Venetian-style buildings.
Kotor has picturesque coastlines and nearby mountains make it an ideal place for hiking. The town has an old world charm and is an incredible destination for those seeking cultural experiences. One visitor to the Old Town said on TripAdvisor:
“I absolutely fell in love with the area, especially Kotor in the old town! Nice little shops, restaurants and squares with mountains towering in the background! Touring the city to learn about the rich history was very helpful.”
Another must-see location is Kotor Bay, known for its scenic scenery and peaceful atmosphere.
A visitor said on TripAdvisor: “We went on a solo trip and booked an excursion to see the whole island. We stopped by Kotor Bay and this place is beautiful.
“This is a must-see as cruise ship tourists and regular holiday makers overwhelmed this stunning bay. There are plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops, so it was good to spend time here.”
To get to Kotor you can fly to Tivat Airport or Dubrovnik Airport.
