Best places to visit in Kotor

When you find yourself in the charming coastal town of Kotor, surrounded by Montenegro's stunning natural beauty and steeped in rich history, you're in for a treat that encapsulates the best of the Adriatic's cultural and scenic offerings. With its maze of cobbled streets, grand squares, and the spectacular Bay of Kotor to gaze upon, you'll quickly understand why this destination should be high on your travel list. And to enhance your journey, our company, Happytripz, stands ready to offer you delightful excursions to ensure you make the most of your Kotor experience.

As you embark on your adventure, here are the must-visit spots that you simply cannot miss:

  • Kotor Old Town: At the heart of the city lies the beautifully preserved Old Town of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With its well-preserved medieval architecture and fortified walls, you'll feel transported to another era. Wander through the narrow streets and discover hidden piazzas, quaint cafes, and artisan shops. Don't forget to visit the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, one of the town's most recognizable landmarks.
  • San Giovanni Fortress: For those who love a good hike and a breathtaking view, the path up to the San Giovanni Fortress is a must. Although the climb is steep with around 1,350 steps, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the bay and the Old Town that are truly Instagram-worthy. It's a rewarding trek that offers a captivating perspective of the town's layout and natural surroundings.
  • Maritime Museum: Kotor's seafaring history is rich and intriguing, and to delve deeper into this aspect of the town, the Maritime Museum is the perfect spot. Housed in a palace that once belonged to noble Kotor families, the museum showcases maritime artifacts, ship models, and historical documents that tell the tale of Kotor's naval importance.
  • Our Lady of the Rocks: Hop onto a boat tour with Happytripz to the enchanting island of Our Lady of the Rocks. This man-made islet in the Bay of Kotor holds a Church and a museum, with legend and lore that adds to the enchantment of the site. The artwork and votive tapestries inside the church are simply exquisite [Google Maps].
  • Perast: While technically a separate town, no visit to Kotor would be complete without taking the short drive to the gorgeous town of Perast. The town's baroque architecture and two island churches — St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks — make it a serene retreat. Here, Happytripz excursions can provide an insightful journey into the town's opulent past and its connection to the Venetian empire.
