Old Town of Kotor

The whole of Kotor can be walked from edge to edge in twenty minutes – unless, of course, you stop at every corner, admiring the ancient buildings and cobbled streets. The history of Kotor dates back to the 12th century, its main attractions were concentrated in the area of the Old Town, where a series of narrow streets, churches, cathedrals and squares crowd in a small space.

The central square of the city is crowned by the Cathedral of St. Tryphon, which is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture, the fortress of St. Luke nearby hosts representatives of two faiths at once (Orthodox and Catholic) the mighty city walls towering 20 meters on the Armory Square, events and performances are held. Still here, wandering through the intricate labyrinth of streets, you can find yourself on the narrowest street in the world, which the locals affectionately call “Let me pass” – two people can hardly disperse on it.

Due to its indescribable atmosphere of antiquity, Kotor has become a platform for many bright festivals. During the most famous of them - the Kotor International Summer Carnival in August - the entire old city is cluttered with tens of thousands of guests from all over the world.
