Have you cruised a fjord lately? Fjord enthusiasts take note: Kotor is situated at the edge of the largest fjord in southern Europe. This body of water is a sight to behold, but there is more to Kotor. The city also lies at the base of a magnificent mountain, offering dramatic overhead views and 360 degrees of beauty. How welcoming can a place be when it is surrounded by sturdy Venetian fortress walls built up the mountain to keep invaders out? You would be surprised. The old-town walled section of Kotor now opens its doors to visitors from around the world who come to explore its history among the local palaces, cathedrals, and museums.
- Visit a palace and a museum… at the same time! Montenegro’s National Museum is located in the royal palace where a king once lived.
- Get top views — pun fully intended — from the vantage point of Njeguši, from which postcard-perfect photos are assured.
- Say “hey” to history in Budva, one of the oldest spots you’ll find in the region, clocking in at over 2,500 years old.
