Kotor, Montenegro: 15 beste ting å gjøre (byutflukter og dagsturer)

Kotor er en perle som er gjemt i den mest bortgjemte delen av Kotor -bukten, ved foten av Lovćen -fjellet og omsluttet av vegger som har sto med tanke på at 1600 -tallet. Å tjene to UNESCOs verdensarvsgjenkjenninger-som naturlige og kulturelle-historiske regioner i Kotor og som en del av de venetianske forsvarsverkene (15. til 1600-tallet)-tiltrekker den befestede byen bølge etter bølge av besøkende som blir større gjennom årene.

Nesten alle de betydelige kulturelle landemerkene og attraksjonene er vugget i den murede gamlebyen. Det eneste historiske sentrum av Pedertrian er lett å severes til fots, og biler er ikke tillatt inne. Kotor er også omgitt av flere like fantastiske destinasjoner!

Uten i tillegg er det noen av tingene å gjøre og steder å sjekke ut i Kotor. Vi inkluderte også noen få dagers reisedestinasjoner fra byen, i tilfelle du planlegger å bruke mye mer enn en dag her.
