City Walls

Reviewed By IN_Travelers47906 - West Lafayette, United States

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.

Kotor Old City

Reviewed By Basia_Poznan - Poznan, Poland

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!!!

Kotor Old Town

Reviewed By jmichel01 - Myrtle Beach, United States

A wonderful stop. 5 minutes after leaving your cruise ship, you go back in time 500 years or more. Worth a guided tour to hear the history including why Kotor and many other Adriatic stops have so many Cats! It has to do with witches, rats and the plague! Bring some cat treats if you want to make some 4 legged friends! Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Can easily spend 2-4 hours here.
