Creator's Key Takeaways

Kotor might be my favourite sail-in experience and the old medieval town itself is just as stunning.

I can't kind of stress or convey how much I enjoyed this, despite the physical exhaustion from it, and uh my legs being really achy, it was amazing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“You don't really need an excursion in Kotor unless you want to visit somewhere outside of the town itself.
βœ“Be careful with your footing on the way down the fortress steps as it can be a bit slippy.
βœ“Give yourself about 2 to 2.5 hours if you want to attempt the walk up to the fortress.

Kotor might be my favourite sail-in experience and the old medieval town itself is just as stunning. We step off MSC Lirica and walk straight into one of the most stunning old towns we've ever seen - and start hunting for the fortress steps. In this video, we explore Kotor Old Town on foot β€” no excursion, no shuttle, just us wandering through the medieval streets. We visit the main squares and St Tryphon Cathedral, meet the famous Kotor cats, and track down the start of the fortress climb.
