Kotor Old Town

Kotor Old Town is one of the best preserved medieval old towns in the Adriatic and is a double World Heritage Site, for both cultural and natural value.

Construction began in the 6th century, but most of what you see today was built between the 9th and 14th centuries during the Venetian rule.

The town is enclosed by city walls, along with bastions, gates and towers. Inside the walls, there’s narrow streets, ancient churches and historical squares. It’s an incredible place and I’d recommend setting aside a few hours to explore it with no real agenda.

But if you do prefer to learn about the things you’re looking at, you can book a free walking tour.

Make sure you visit the rooftop at Hotel Hippocampus. I had breakfast there, and it has amazing views over the town.
