Overview
Take a trip to Kotor on your Montenegro vacation.
Kotor, Montenegro is cradled by imposing mountains and caressed by the Adriatic Sea. At the heart of Kotor lies its UNESCO-listed Old Town, enclosed within centuries-old fortified walls. Wander through the maze of alleyways and discover the history engrained in every cobblestone. The stunning fusion of Venetian and Byzantine architecture is a testament to the town's rich past. Climb the ancient city walls for a bird's-eye view of the town and the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, one of Europe's most dramatic natural landscapes.
Kotor's maritime heritage is evident as you explore the bustling harbour filled with bobbing fishing boats and elegant, modern-day yachts. The Maritime Museum on the Square of the Boka fleet, opened in 1900, will immerse you in the history of Kotor seamen, artists, and shipbuilders who helped define Kotor.
Visit the stunning 12th-century St. Tryphon's Cathedral, showcasing Romanesque architecture and a captivating collection of religious art, before indulging in the charming cafes and restaurants in the Old Town.
Venture beyond Kotor's walls after savouring local delicacies and fine Montenegrin wines to the hiking trails leading you to the hillsides, offering dramatic views of the bay and beyond. Take a boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks, an islet almost entirely man-made with an intriguing legend and a church highlighted with maritime offerings. Immerse yourself in the timeless and breathtaking charm of Kotor and discover the haven where history, nature, and Montenegrin culture collide.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
