About this experience
Throughout history, Kotor has been ruled by ancient Romans, Byzantines, Serbs, Venetians, French, and Austro-Hungarians. Each nation left a piece of its history, culture, and architecture here. I will show you the main attractions of the city and tell you how locals have bravely fought against the sea, plague, and foreigners for centuries.
