Kotor City Walls Tour Guide

The Kotor City Wall, as the best-preserved mini "Great Wall" in Europe, is a highlight of the ancient city of Kotor in Montenegro. The city wall is 15 meters wide, 20 meters high and 4.5 kilometers long, extending from the seaside to the top of the mountain, witnessing the long history and tenacious defense of the ancient city of Kotor. To visit the walls of Kotor, it is recommended to enter from the Old Town. You can choose the paid red route or the free blue route. The red route requires an 8-euro ticket, but the scenery along the way is magnificent. You can climb all the way to the top of the city wall and enjoy the beautiful views of the fjord, church bell tower, ancient city and the opposite mountains. The blue route is more friendly to the public. Although it is called a "wild road", it has been paved by predecessors and the scenery along the way is also beautiful. It is a good choice for saving budget. While climbing the city wall, you may want to stop and record this unforgettable moment with your camera. The best angle for taking photos is not at the top of the mountain, but in the middle of the city wall, so that you can capture the harmonious blend of the ancient city and nature at the same time. In addition, the best time to take photos is in the morning or evening, when the light is soft and can better highlight the vicissitudes and beauty of the city wall. In addition to the city walls themselves, there are many attractions worth visiting in the old town of Kotor, such as the Cathedral of St. Tryphon built in 1166, the ancient bell tower and various historical buildings. Most of these buildings were built between the 15th and 18th centuries, showcasing the unique style of the medieval Mediterranean region. After touring the city walls, you may want to take a break in a cafe or restaurant in the old town, taste the local food and drinks, and experience the leisurely pace of life in Kotor. In addition, Kotor has a wealth of handicraft and souvenir shops, which is a good place to buy souvenirs and experience local culture. #2月好地方2025
