Experience the best of Kotor

Kotor is a walled medieval town at the head of a winding bay in Montenegro, with mountain walls, Venetian palaces and a fortress high above.

Kotor lies at the end of the Bay of Kotor, a deep, winding inlet often described as a fjord, though it is really a drowned river canyon, with steep mountains rising directly from the water. The old town, a UNESCO site, is enclosed by Venetian-era walls and entered by the Sea Gate, and inside are small squares, a clock tower and the Romanesque cathedral of St Tryphon, consecrated in 1166.

A path of stone steps zigzags up the walls to the Fortress of St John, high above the rooftops. The village of Perast, a few kilometres up the bay, has baroque palaces and two small islands, one of them an artificial island with a church. A road with a long series of hairpin bends climbs from Kotor to Lovćen National Park and the mausoleum of Njegoš, and the coast road leads on to Budva.

Njeguši smoked ham and cheese, from the village on the Lovćen road, are the local specialities, with black cuttlefish risotto, grilled fish and fried calamari on the quays. Vranac, a deep red wine, and rakija, fruit brandy, go with meals. The mountains behind catch the rain, and the bay is one of the wettest places in Europe.
