There are some fantastic Kotor videos on the net that show you just how stunning this place is.

The ancient walled town.

It all combines to make for breath-taking videos.

Kotor has become a hugely popular cruise stop. The port is right outside the old town, unlike some destinations where you need to get a taxi to see any attractions. Here's what you can expect if you're visiting on a cruise.


7. Around Perast

This is a really nice drone video of Perast and it's two islands. Perast is a stunning town just 15 minutes from Kotor and a must see if you visit Kotor. Our Lady of the Rocks is a must-see while you're there.


8. Capture the World's Montenegro Video

This video covers other parts of Montenegro like Skadar Lake, but it has some great footage of Kotor.


9. Kotor in 4K

This is a relaxing video that shows Kotor outside of peak tourist season. You see how relaxed the town is... another advantage of visiting Montenegro in the shoulder seasons.
