Kotor: cruise port guide

A walled medieval town at the end of a fjord-like bay, and one of the most spectacular sail-ins in the Mediterranean.

Don't miss the sail-in

Be on deck as the ship enters the Bay of Kotor: mountains, churches on islets and stone villages along the water.

What to do

  • Walk the old town, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor'
  • Climb the walls to St John's Fortress — a steep climb, best done early
  • Visit Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks

Ships may dock or anchor and use tenders: check which applies and add queue time on the way back.
