Kotor truly surprised me — in the best way✨

Charming, historic, full of soul. Narrow cobbled streets, stone walls, green balconies… and that feeling like you’ve stepped into another century. Time slows down here — and you just want to wander. 📍 Getting there: I traveled from Budva by bus — the ride took around 1 hour 10 minutes because of road construction. 💰 Ticket price is between €5–6. 🕓 Normally, the ride takes just 45 minutes — so plan accordingly. 🚏 The bus station is just a few minutes’ walk from the port and the old town — super easy and accessible. 📸 What to see in Kotor: — The magical old town itself — St. Tryphon’s Cathedral — Hidden alleys, stone archways, vintage details — And, of course, the famous Kotor cats 🐾 ⛰ Want a view you’ll never forget? Climb to St. John’s Fortress — 1350 steps, €15 entry. I didn’t make it this time, but I’ve already put it on my list for next visit — it’s that iconic. Sometimes all it takes is a short bus ride to feel completely renewed. Kotor is that kind of place — peaceful, unexpected, and full of magic. Add it to your travel wishlist 💫 #kotor #montenegrotravel #hiddengems #travelreels #travelguide #wanderwithme #balkansuncovered

Your shortcut to magical Kotor! This trip is all about the medieval vibes of Kotor’s Old Town—think peaceful sunrises, cobbled streets, and views that seriously flex on your Instagram stories 🏰✨ Must-See in Kotor: Old Town of Kotor (CQFC+VF9, Kotor, Montenegro) Open all day, all year—so you can plan your adventure without the FOMO. Early riser hack: Set your alarm! The Old Town is dreamy at sunrise. Streets are empty, shops closed, and local cats run the show—pure, uncrowded fairy tale. The city walls are open, so start your climb early for panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor—no sweaty crowds blocking your shots or your path! 📸 Afterwards, reward yourself: grab a coffee at a tucked-away café in one of those quiet squares. The whole place still feels yours, and you get to savor that medieval buzz in peace. How to get around: Stick to your feet! Old Town is a car-free maze—everything’s walkable, so comfy shoes are a game changer. For nearby areas, try the local buses from the Kotor bus station or taxis if you're in a hurry. Food recs: Hit up a local bakery for fresh burek or cheese pastries. For lunch, look for family-owned konobas (taverns) dishing up grilled seafood and risottos. Quick tips: Euros are used everywhere, card accepted in most spots. Summer is hot; bring a hat, water bottle, and sunscreen. No visa needed for most travelers under 90 days—check your country’s requirements! #KotorOldTown #MedievalMagic #MontenegroMoments #TravelTips #WanderWithMe
