Things to Do in Kotor

Below is a small list of what we did in Kotor. This is the second time we’ve visited the town, so we mostly chilled. There are other things to do as well, like take boat trips and day trips around the area.

We decided to take it easy for the week we were there, so mostly stayed in the old town area. We’re traveling for 6 months, so it’s nice to just chill sometimes.

There is a small, but fascinating, cat museum that you can visit. It’s only 1 EUR to enter, with this money being used to help feed the hundreds of cats that roam the town.

See Kotor Old Town Cats Museum and Cats for further details.

One of the highlights of Kotor for me was taking a walk up to the old Kotor Fortress. It took me around 35 minutes to get to the top. It can be a difficult walk if you’re not fairly fit.

For more information, including the cost, see A Walk to Kotor Fortress.
