Walking tour through the heart of Kotor

Welcome to your excursion! Upon your arrival at the port of Kotor, our Shore2Shore guide will be waiting to begin this tour through the heart of one of the most fascinating cities in the Mediterranean.

The old town of Kotor developed within a small triangular area, surrounded by impressive 5 km long walls built by the Venetians. This fortification system, which began in 1420 and was completed in the 18th century, withstood attacks for centuries and protected the city from long sieges. During our guided visit, you will discover the history of these walls and explore the charming palaces hidden within their enclosure.

A key stop will be at the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, one of the oldest churches in Europe, whose construction dates back to 1166 over a 9th-century church. Here, you will be able to admire the relics of the patron saint of Kotor, Saint Tryphon, including his head, which arrived in the city in the year 890. You will also see 58 other relics, including a supposed splinter of the Holy Cross.

Next, we will head to the Maritime Museum, located in the elegant Grgurin Palace, a Baroque building from 1732. Inside, you will discover a valuable collection of objects related to navigation, such as portraits of famous captains, ship models, navigation instruments, and a series of maps that narrate Kotor’s maritime history.

At the end of the guided tour, you may return to the port with our guide or continue exploring the city at your own pace.

We hope you enjoy this fascinating immersion into the history of Kotor!
