Medieval Kotor through the eyes of a local

What to expect

Walls that remember
Remember the Illyrian tribes, the Roman Empire, the Venetian Republic, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Yugoslavia, and finally Montenegro. I will tell you fascinatingly and understandably about the amazing fate of Kotor, focusing on the topics that interest you. We will walk through the Old Town - it is a pedestrian area: we will start from the main Arms Square, look for Orthodox churches, talk about the palace on Wheat Square and other iconic landmarks.

Interesting facts and stories from Kotor's life
Despite all the charms of civilization, the local way of life largely preserves medieval habits and traditions. You will immerse yourself in this atmosphere and learn:

• Why Kotor has such huge fortress walls;
• Why in a city with only five squares, there are so many cathedrals and churches;
• How often earthquakes occur here and how residents endure them;
• Why inscriptions are found in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts;
• Why all houses, palaces, and streets are made of white stone.

Charming additions will be recommendations for cafes with the most aromatic coffee and exquisite desserts. As well as gastronomic discoveries at the "gradskoy pyatsye" - the oldest market that delights buyers with the freshest fruits, cheeses, olives, homemade wine, and traditional prosciutto.
