1. Viewing Point at the Road Kotor-Lovcen

We travelled from the Cetinje end of the road having visited the mausoleum in Lovcen National Park. Not sure that previous reviews have stressed enough the impact of the roadworks on quite a long stretch of the road - 10km or so, we would guess. So, the views are absolutely fantastic, the hairpins are ok even if you do meet cars coming the other way, but if you do have a hire car, be prepared to drive very slowly and manoeuvre your path across the smallest of the ruts in the road. There isn't a proper tarmac surface at all for pretty much all of that distance, and we scraped the bottom of the car on several occasions in between queuing along with other cars waiting for lorries to be loaded with rubble by JCBs to clear the way. My view is that you shouldn't let this put you off - we made it, after all. You can see from the pictures posted how amazing the views are as well. I'm speaking as the driver of the car, however. When my wife and I discussed whether we'd do it again knowing what the road was like, I said yes, she said no ! By the way, the Mausoleum in Lovcen was well worth a visit and you get to see some great views of practically the whole of Montenegro, especially if you pay the €3 to get to the Mausoleum itself and walk up to the viewing point.

Unless you are an experienced long distance swimmer in a wet suit, do what everyone else does-- take a water taxi. Built on a man-made island, this charming little active Catholic Chapel houses some interesting and probably unique votives. Ranging from wedding bouquets to an intricate tapestry made over 25 years with the weavers hair woven into the design. The resulting eyestrain cost the weaver her sight but her precision handiwork remains for all to see
4. Piazza of the Arms

This lovely and wide open square translated as Town Square is the first site that greets you as you walk through the gate into the Old Town. The Squares main feature is the Clock Tower, which speaks for itself and would I am sure make a great meeting place. I always travel alone so have no need for that. The Square though nevertheless makes a great place from which to get your bearings. The Old Town is pretty compact and it is difficult to get lost in here - small streets branch off from this main square in all directions. It is lined with the usual array of tourist shops with a few banks and some wonderful cafes serving delightful iced coffee sundaes. Perfect for relaxing on a warm early summers day.

Kotor’s city walls are formidable and provide excellent examples of fortress structures. They remind me of the Great Wall of China as they uniquely wind their way up the mountain behind Kotor’s Old Town to the Church of Our Lady of Health and beyond, offering an excellent view of Kotor and beyond.

This church is on the tourist map of the old town as St Mary Koledata, so do not miss out. Saint’s remains in a glass coffin on the altar to the left when you enter. Worth a visit
8. Palace Zmajevic
Overall Ratings

Known as the “Bishopric”, this palace is recognisable by its octagonal belfry and the magnificent external staircase. This edifice belonged to the famous Zmajevic family and is one of the symbols of the town of Perast. The palace complex also contains a family chapel dedicated to the Lady of the Rosary.

Kotor is said to be one of very few survived Medieval towns untouched by wars. It is squezed between the sea and the mountain and is all contained within the town walls streaching up the steep hill. It looks like the Great Chinese Wall with a town inside and belongs to UNESCO heritage list. This Old Town contains everything history lover can imagine: old houses, narrow streets, small squares, and yards, catholic and orthodox churches dating back to 9th and 11th centuries, lapidarium, town hall clock etc. And something one can't escape in such places: souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and craft shops, but also hostels, travel offices and museums and art exhibitions. But what is most exciting: you can climb along the city walls up to the castle on the top! The really unforgettable experience! I'd advice to take decent shoes as the steps are slippery and the route is quite exhausting. But the feeling and the view to the Kotor Bay - exceptional!!!
10. Castle Of San Giovanni

Reviewed By tdenten - Chicago, United States
We had an incredible hike up to the Castle of San Giovanni on the first morning of our trip, and it was just what we needed to beat our jet lag! The hike took us about 2 hours up (it was VERY hot and we stopped a million times for photos). The way down only took about 50 minutes. So I would say 3 hours is on the long side if you are trying to plan your time. You would be remiss to go all the way to Kotor and not do this!
