The Old Town - Kotor, Montenegro

One of the most beautiful and scenic cruises into the port city. With mountain villages on both sides, any view from the boat is simply amazing. It’s an easy walk to the Old Town surrounded by huge stone walls used to protect the city. When we first walked in, it was around 7:30 in the morning and the Old Town was very quiet and just starting to open for business. There was something so special about watching store owners getting ready for the day.

We followed Rick Steves' walking tour guide of the Old Town. His maps and information were spot-on. Since we had about an hour before our boat tour began, we meandered through the cobblestone streets finding a variety of cafés, restaurants, souvenir shops, and artisans. Everything is walkable and the tourist information center provides a large map for walking up the mountain to view some of the other sights.Читать далее
