- Rose B.2 contributionsI felt like old times. It is a place that fascinates me with its incredibly pleasant and history smelling streets. I 've added it to my list to go again.Written 27 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Geraldine M5 contributionsRelaxing boat tour of the Bay of Kotor. My sister and I stayed in Kotor and decided our feet had enough walking, so we took a 2 hr boat tour on the bay and visited some of the busy tourist sites. We had a great time. I am not one to wander around old churches but my sister was. I could not climb up to 2nd stories or floors, my mobility was limited, so instead, I opted to stay on the boat and the captain & I had a great chat. I wish I could remember the name of thr boat tour but I cannot. Thr boat was easy enough to get in amd out of. Montenegro is a place for walking. I saw 2 people with canes, no wheelchairs, mopeds seemed to be comandeered by group tourists. If you're handicapped, it's a difficult country to get around in.Written 3 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matt G3 contributionsThe views from the walls are fantastic. Visited in February and there was no one to purchase a ticket from, also the western-most entrance (marked “A” on the map) was closed. While the views were incredible, it was really sad to see how much trash has been left up there and that nothing seems to really be done about cleaning it up.Written 5 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rhino2525Daytona Beach, FL2,296 contributionsWe did a private tour with Mont Travel (owner/operator Dimitrije Jovicic) and one of our stops was this lookout that provided a beautiful view of Kotor and the entire peninsula that our cruise ship sailed in from the Adriatic Sea.Written 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alison KLodi, NJ813 contributionsPretty little church that has an upstairs section with artifacts and archways to look out onto the town square. The main floor has elaborate alters all around the outside. There are silver religious artifacts, textiles and more upstairs.Written 26 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David DDevon, UK19,625 contributionsTuesday 14th June we were on a day tour to Kotor from Dubrovnik. We visited this Serbian Orthodox Church during our walk around the Old Town. It was just a short distance down the road from the Monastery of St Claire, which we had just visited.
Walking along the street this Church was an unmissable sight with it's two large black domed bell towers. The domes are both topped by a gold cross. The Serbian flag hanging over the main entrance is also a feature. Just below the flag is a fresco of a Saint, possibly Nicholas.
The building of this Church was completed in 1909 and on our tourist map referred to as the Church of St Nicholas 1909. It was built on the site of another Orthodox Church which burnt down on Christmas Eve 1896.
The interior of the Church is rather special, it is filled with numerous paintings of Saints. The most eye-catching feature is the floor to ceiling reredos, altar screen. It comprises of four levels of paintings of holy people, in excess of thirteen paintings, all topped with a golden cross.
Also housed in the Church is a rather beautiful silver icon.
A couple of immense paintings of Saints, one we assumed was St Nicholas, fill one of the walls of the Church
A number of ornate silver chandeliers hang from the ceiling including the dome.
There are a number of spectacular silver freestanding candelabras around the Church, standing on the black and white tiled floor.
Sunlight streams through the arched coloured glass windows around the walls.
There is no admission fee to enter this beautiful Church.Written 21 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- zuvBucharest, Romania26,522 contributionsOne of the access gates in Old town. Quite well preserved. You can climb up on it for a beautiful view of the area. From here, you can continue your route along the crest of the wall, along the seashore. The view is beautiful.Written 28 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PavlaPavlaChrudim, Czech Republic6,172 contributionsThe cat is a kind of symbol of this city. Cats are everywhere and almost all the souvenirs sold here are related to cats. Therefore, it is no surprise that you can also find a cat museum in Kotor.
For a symbolic €1 you enter the world of cats. There are cats on the postcards, in the pictures, on the coins and medals, there are books about cats, posters with cats, stamps with cats, objects in the shape of cats, advertising materials with cats... Cats are everywhere around you.
It was a great idea to create this museum and even though it is tiny, the collections displayed in it are simply amazing. Here, visitors have information about the exhibits in several languages. There is also a small gift shop where you can buy - what a surprise - only things with cats.Written 22 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a lower level (subterranean) to the tower's upper floors. It was in this lower level the tower that the reinforcements were added after the 1979 earthquake caused destabilization.
The pillory in front of the tower would have made a spectacle out of offenders who were chained to the pillory as their punishment (and were subject to abuse).
From the tower, 4 major streets go in 4 directions. Find this treasure in the Square of Arms.Written 1 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The church today is significant because of the fact that it has two altars, a Catholic and an Orthodox one. It happend because of the wars and the arrival of the Orthodox people in Kotor. So this church was given to Orthodox believers for use. I think it is a nice represent of the the harmonious co-existence of people of different religious.
Another interesting fact is that the floor in the church was made of tomb panels, because until 1930’s the burring were held in the church itself.Written 22 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This was good as we had skipped it on our tour with Collette Vacations in 2017. This is a nice little museum with ship models, art, clothing and furniture, as well as weapons. It was definitely worth a half hour of our time.Written 14 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The World is My OysterOrlando, FL19,511 contributionsWe actually liked the sea gate the best, but this one was no slouch either.

- meltem eIzmir, Türkiye702 contributionsWe were a day trip to Kotor and we entered to the old city through the "Sea Gate". This small gate is not very impressive as others but strong to defense the city. We had a a self-guided walking tour around the old city and on the right side of the gate there were a map of old town, which was very good for navigate without internet with photo of the map.Written 26 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Abovetheclouds1,728 contributionsThe architecture of the door was stunning. The detail. Nice building but always appeared to be closed. We tried a few times. Even if you can't get inside, worth a look from the outside.Written 27 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
