Kotor cable car

One of the best things to do in Montenegro is to ride on the Kotor cable car. It’s an 11 minute journey where you’ll get incredible views over the Bay of Kotor on the way to Mount Lovćen at the top.

I boarded the cable car about 1 hour before sunset which meant that the light on the journey up was a beautiful golden glow, and then I got to enjoy sunset from the top.

Once you reach the top there’s lots to do. One of the main attractions is the Alpine Rollercoaster which you control yourself and you get amazing views over the Bay of Kotor. I think everyone must want to ride it at sunset as the queue was crazy when I visited so I didn’t get to go on it, but it does look like a lot of fun.

There’s also the Monte 1350 bar where everyone goes for sunset. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, so I sat and had a glass of wine here. It was the most expensive drink I had in Montenegro, but well worth it for the view.

You’ll also be right next to Lovćen National Park once you reach the top, so if you wanted to go early and make a day of it there’s lots of amazing hiking trails to explore, and you can also hire e-bikes.
