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.

This Cathedral is hard to miss as any walk around the Old Town will inevitably take you to St Tryphon Square & this building. Although suffering damage in earthquakes - hence the spires are not identical - it has been rebuilt in the original Romanesque style of 1166 when it was consecrated. Interior has magnificent frescoes & of course plenty of gilt religious artifacts. On the mountain side of St John, built into the fortifications, is a chapel "Our Lady of Remedy" ... how easy it is to visit I can't personally tell you! The word is 'tough'.

Lovely view and a cafe or two overlooking the bay, and the main square with ATM's available in Kotor, with streets leading in (northeast) to all the quaint streets with cute bakeries, pizza places, shops and ancient inns.
