City advice
Getting around
Traffic jams
Traffic jams are part of our everyday life. The Center of Kotor has only one street and therefore jams are usual. To avoid spending hours in line and moving slower than pedestrians consider traveling before 09:00 AM and after 4:00 PM.
Don't miss
Saturday open market
Great experience and possibility to buy real local and domestic products. Every Saturday morning, in front of the Old town. The earlier, the better.
Ways to save
Visiting old town
Consider walking to the Old town (city center) and back. It's a really really nice walk. You will save on parking fees and fuel, especially on time spent looking for parking and waiting in traffic jams.
Don't miss
Maritime Museum
Not so famous but an amazing place to visit. In the middle of the old town.
