What to do in Kotor: A 2-Day Itinerary in the Jewel of the Bay

To help you, we have prepared a detailed 2-day itinerary that perfectly balances the mandatory sights with moments of free exploration, ensuring a complete immersion into the soul of this UNESCO World Heritage city.

Day 1: Walls and the Soul of the City

Early Morning: Conquering the Fortress of San Giovanni

Start the day with the high point—literally. The climb up the city walls to the Fortress of San Giovanni is the most rewarding experience in Kotor. It's best to start around 7 or 8 AM to avoid the heat. The view from the top is unforgettable.

Afternoon: Exploring the Old Town (Stari Grad)

Immerse yourself in the labyrinth. Don't miss the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, the Orthodox Church of Saint Nicholas, and the famous Cat Square.

Day 2: Markets, Museums, and the Bay's Perspective

Morning: Local Market

Start the day outside the walls at the open-air market, a glimpse into local life with cheeses, pršut (cured ham), and fresh fruits.

Afternoon: The City from the Water

You saw the bay from the fortress; now see the city from the bay. Take a 1-2 hour boat trip to get an incredible perspective of the walls hugging the city.
