Local tip to try

If you visit Kotor in the shoulder season, say late September or early October, make your way up the Fortress early in the morning. You’ll catch the bay under soft light with far fewer people around. Bring some water and a snack, because the climb can be steep but the views of the old town and nearby mountains are worth it. Afterward, stroll through the narrow streets and stop at a café favored by locals, where you can watch fishermen bring in their catch for the day.
