A Brief History of Kotor

Kotor Architecture

One of Kotor’s claims to fame is ‘Town Most Easy To Get Lost In’. 

Just kidding!

But if that were an award, Kotor would have a good chance of winning. Kotor’s streets are a haphazard tangle of alleys that are difficult even for locals to navigate. And they’re not even named! 

With my guide you’ll find out how Kotor got its shape and why it’s unique among Roman towns.

Not only that, GPS co-ordinates and numbers that correspond to the free Kotor map you get at the Sea Gate make sure you can find your way around town without getting lost.

You can quickly and easily find the attractions you’re looking for using Google Maps on your phone or the free Kotor map.

I'll also tell you about the town's architecture and the different types you'll find in Kotor. I'll tell you the best places to find Gothic architecture, the few Romanesque buildings left standing and what 'yellow houses' are.

Kotor's Gates, Churches, Palaces, Public Buildings and Hidden Gems

You'll be able to look up the origin and story of almost any building (I've left out the boring ones that are not worth seeing) on your walk around Kotor old city. All the must-see attractions are included, like Pima Palace, the River Gate and St Tryphon Cathedral.

As well as the top sights, you’ll also discover local secrets not found anywhere else. You’ll discover hidden gems that most visitors never find out about and you’ll leave Kotor knowing you didn’t miss out on anything.

You'll also find tips for exploring Kotor old town, like wear flat shoes with good grip because those ancient cobblestones are slippery!

Just grab a Kotor old town map from the tourist kiosk and enjoy a relaxing discovery walk around Kotor!

Fascinating Stories

This Kotor travel guide is filled with interesting stories about Kotor that bring the town to life.

Instead of a dry tour filled with dates and facts, you’ll be entertained as you explore the old town!

• About the nun who saved Kotor from Turkish invaders
• How a homeless homeopath became a king

These are the stories usually only locals know about, but they’re some of the most fascinating things about Kotor!

Kotor’s fortifications are one of its most important features and reasons for its UNESCO World Heritage Site status.

You’ll learn how Kotor’s fortifications came to be built, how old they are and why they’re so important. You’ll also find out the best ways to see the fortifications, no matter how much time and energy you’ve got.

This guide will help you choose a hike if you want to do one. And once you choose, there are detailed guides telling you exactly where and when to go, how much it costs and what equipment to bring with you.

And if you’re not into walking, there are directions for how you can still get a view of Kotor’s impressive walls without breaking a sweat!
