Solo Travel TipsΒ· Solo Friendly
Kotor's medieval walled city inside a dramatic bay is one of the Adriatic's most beautiful solo settings β the city walls climb up to St. John's Fortress above and the 1,350 staircase steps are a perfect solo morning challenge. The cats (Kotor is famous for its cats) provide unexpected solo companionship. The Bay of Kotor from above at sunset is extraordinary. Ferries to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks are lovely short solo excursions.

City Walls of Kotor
Culture
The most dramatic medieval walls in the Adriatic β 4.5km of fortifications climbing vertically up the LovΔen mountain to the Castle of San Giovanni (260m above sea level). The 1,350-step climb takes 45 minutes in summer heat; the view at the top over Boka Bay is one of the great panoramas of European travel.
