Kotor, a palm-sized ancient city, breathtakingly beautiful!

This gem in Montenegro's fjord, Kotor Old Town is absolutely worth a visit! It's like a little maze, with stone houses packed tightly together and winding alleyways that'll have you getting lost (but happily so!). Three must-do activities: Climb the city walls! Yes, that "long dragon" on the mountain behind the city. Exhausting but worth it! Huff and puff your way up, then turn around—wow! The entire fjord and the red-roofed old town lie beneath your feet, unbelievably beautiful. Go early to avoid the scorching sun. Wander aimlessly in the old town! In this tiny area, you'll find church squares, cozy cafés, souvenir shops... just stroll around. Look up at those historic buildings—full of character. There's even a "Cat Museum" that cat lovers shouldn't miss, plus the town is full of feline residents! Explore the fjord! Take a boat ride out on the water. Seeing Kotor and the surrounding mountains from the sea offers another kind of awe. The water is crystal clear, the mountains lush green—it feels like you're inside a painting. Tips: Wear comfortable shoes! The old town's cobblestones and mountain climb are tough on feet. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! (Important things said three times) Bring some cash, as some small shops may only accept cash. Don't rush—sit down for a coffee and soak in the slow-paced Southern European rhythm. In summary: Kotor may be small, but it's stunningly beautiful and rich in history, perfect for a one- or two-day visit. The combination of fjord + old town + mountain climbing will definitely win you over!
