18 Things You Need To Know Before Visiting Kotor 🇲🇪

In this Kotor travel guide, I share 18 honest and practical tips, opinions and advice you should know before visiting Kotor, Montenegro — based entirely on my own experiences and mistakes. From surprising costs and tourist traps to hidden gems like Skurda Canyon and a free route up to the Kotor Fortress, this video covers everything I wish I knew before going. I also touch on issues like ATM withdrawal fees, Sunday closures, overcrowding in summer, and where not to stay, so you can avoid the same frustrations and have a smoother trip. If you're planning your Kotor 2025 itinerary or wondering “is Kotor worth visiting?”, this is the video to watch before you go.

Alongside criticisms, I share loads of helpful travel tips for Kotor — like where to find €3 pizza in the old town, how to check cruise ship timetables, where to walk for the best views of the Bay of Kotor, and when to visit to avoid the crowds. You'll also learn about the new cable car and mountain coaster, the best areas to stay, and even where to spot a herd of goats in the hills.
