Sights
Kotor old town
A tight maze of stone lanes and small squares inside the walls, with churches, palaces and cafés at every turn. Easy to explore without a map, and easy to lose track of time.
Port of Kotor cruise berth (operational quay)
One berth of 168 m (plus a further 120 m of quay) is used for cruise ships; the port's schedule marks each call as berth or anchor.
Getting into town
Walk: a few minutes along the flat quay to the Sea Gate, the main entrance to the old town. No shuttle needed. Taxis wait near the quay; the bus station for Perast and Budva is a short walk south of the old town.
Step-free
The quay and the main old-town squares are level stone paving; many side lanes and all routes up the walls have steps.

Food & drink
Town market
The town's produce market just outside the walls near the waterfront, with local cheese, smoked ham, fruit, olive oil and honey.
Sights
Cathedral of St Tryphon
Kotor's Romanesque cathedral, with twin towers, old frescoes and a treasury. A small entry fee applies; times vary with services, so check locally.
Beaches & parks
Kotor town beach
A small pebble beach about 10 minutes' walk north along the waterfront, handy for a swim with a view back to the walls.
Sights
City walls and St John's Fortress (San Giovanni)
A steep stepped path zigzags up the walls to the fortress high above the town, passing a small church on the way, with superb views over the bay. Ticket booths open daily from March to November (7:00–20:00 in peak season, shorter hours otherwise); entrances are at the north and south ends of the old town.
