Unconventional European City You’ll Fall in Love With: Kotor, Montenegro

Unconventional European City You’ll Fall in Love With: Kotor, Montenegro

Breathtaking views, Adriatic charm, and seamless travel connectivity with Voye Global

Why Kotor is Europe’s Best-Kept Secret?

Tucked into the southeastern edge of the Adriatic Sea, Kotor, Montenegro, is a medieval town wrapped in stone walls, carved into mountains, and kissed by the tranquil Bay of Kotor. Often overshadowed by its neighbor Dubrovnik, Kotor offers equally dramatic coastal scenery, fewer crowds, and an enchanting, time-frozen atmosphere.

From cobbled alleys and Venetian-era architecture to vibrant cafes and fortress hikes, Kotor delivers an unforgettable European experience—with far fewer tourists. And whether you’re navigating the narrow streets of Old Town, uploading photos from the fortress walls, or checking ferry schedules, staying connected is a must.

That’s where Voye Global’s eSIM for Montenegro steps in—making your journey through this Adriatic gem smarter, simpler, and more seamless.

What to Do in Kotor: Bay Views, Fortresses & More

Kotor is compact but full of life and history. Here are the unmissable highlights:

1. Hike to the Castle of San Giovanni

Climb more than 1,300 steps for panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor. Best tackled early morning or sunset—don’t forget your camera.

2. Explore Kotor Old Town

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town features winding alleys, medieval churches, open squares, and boutique shops—all enclosed within city walls.

3. Visit St. Tryphon Cathedral

One of Kotor’s architectural highlights, this Roman Catholic cathedral dates back to the 12th century and houses stunning frescoes and relics.

4. Take a Bay Cruise

Explore the surrounding bay with day trips to Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, and hidden coves. Wi-Fi on boats may be weak, but your Voye Global eSIM keeps you connected offshore.

5. Relax by the Water

Cafés and promenade seating near Kotor’s harbor offer stunning sea views, perfect for relaxing after sightseeing or catching up on remote work.

Kotor vs. Dubrovnik: Which Coastal Town Should You Pick?

Both cities offer beauty and charm, but here’s how they compare:

Best Cruise Stops in the Adriatic: Spotlight on Kotor

Kotor is one of the most photogenic and popular stops for Adriatic cruises, and here’s why:

  • Cruise ships dock right next to Old Town, making exploration easy on foot
  • Ideal for a one-day adventure filled with history, food, and shopping
  • Popular shore excursions include Bay boat rides, fortress hikes, and wine tasting in nearby villages
  • Connectivity on cruise ships is limited—Voye eSIM ensures access to data the moment you disembark

Walking the City Walls of Kotor: Tips & Photos

  • Entrance Fee: Approx. €8 (cash only)
  • Best Time: Morning (before the sun hits) or golden hour for photos
  • What to Bring: Comfortable shoes, water, sun protection, smartphone for GPS & photos
  • eSIM Tip: Stay connected with your Voye Global eSIM to geotag photos, use maps, or upload content live

Pro tip: The upper trail offers alternative paths and fewer people. Ask locals or guides for the lesser-known routes.
