Know more about your day trip
Our Lady of the Rocks, the famous island church in the Bay of Kotor near Perast, is a short boat ride from the mainland. It is not included in this day trip itinerary, but if you are interested, Perast is a charming stop along the coastal road between Bar and Kotor that your driver may be able to point out.
Tickets to climb the Kotor city walls can usually be purchased on-site. However, in high season the entrance can get busy, so arriving early in the day is the best way to beat the queues and enjoy the views before it gets too crowded.
The drive from Bar to Kotor covers about 37 miles (60 km) along the Adriatic coast and takes roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes each way under normal conditions. During peak summer months, the coastal road can get busy, so an early start is always a good idea.
Yes, the old town is entirely pedestrian-friendly and compact enough to explore on foot. Almost all the main sights, including the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon and the Kampana Tower viewpoint, are within easy walking distance of one another once you pass through the main gate.
The Bay of Kotor is often called a fjord, but geologically it is actually a submerged river canyon. That said, it is one of the most dramatic and picturesque inlets in all of Europe, and the resemblance to a Scandinavian fjord is striking, especially when viewed from the city walls above.
Spring (April to June) and early fall (September to October) are widely considered the best times to visit. The weather is pleasantly warm without the intense summer heat, the crowds are smaller, and the old town is at its most relaxed. July and August are peak season, with more visitors and a livelier atmosphere.
Kotor's UNESCO-listed old town is packed with things to see and do. Stroll the pedestrian lanes, admire the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, and climb part of the ancient city walls for sweeping views over the Bay of Kotor. The bay itself is considered the deepest of its kind in the Mediterranean, making it a striking backdrop from just about every vantage point.
Kotor is a great place to sample Montenegrin coastal cuisine. Look out for grilled squid, black risotto made with squid ink, and fresh mussels. The old town has plenty of small restaurants tucked into its medieval lanes where you can enjoy a proper sit-down meal.
