Kotor

The best time to visit Kotor is during the shoulder seasons, specifically May-June and September-October. The weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller than in peak summer, and prices for accommodation are generally lower.

Top attractions in Kotor include the Kotor Old Town (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Kotor Fortress (St. John's Fortress), the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, and the Maritime Museum. Boat trips to the islands in the Bay of Kotor are also highly recommended.

Visitors should be aware that Montenegrins are generally friendly and welcoming. It's customary to greet people with 'Dobar dan' (Good day). Dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service.

The best way to explore Kotor Old Town is on foot. For exploring the Bay of Kotor, you can use buses, taxis, or rent a car. Boat tours are also a popular way to see the surrounding areas. Parking can be limited in the Old Town.

Be sure to try local seafood, such as grilled fish and seafood risotto. Njeguški pršut (smoked ham) and local cheeses are also popular. Konobas (traditional taverns) offer authentic Montenegrin cuisine. Consider trying local wines as well.
