The Kotor sightseeing map covers nearly the entire Old Town. If you're preparing a detailed description of Kotor's attractions, you'll find yourself characterizing almost every building, as entire neighborhoods have been impeccably preserved! Thanks to its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List, Kotor's landmarks, known by names in dozens of languages, have gained worldwide recognition.
When planning a tourist itinerary in Kotor, certain must-visit places include:
St. Luke's Church: Built in 1195, this church serves both Catholic and Orthodox congregations. Images of this iconic Kotor landmark grace the pages of countless travel guides.
Cathedral of St. Tryphon. Many walks in Kotor start near the twin white bells of this cathedral, built in 1166, which has survived earthquakes and wars, but has been lovingly restored by the people of the city.
Kotor Fortress. Looking at the Kotor sightseeing map, you won't immediately realize which building is meant. In fact, it is a powerful wall with towers, which girdle the city. The fortifications are 20 meters high and up to 16 meters thick and include the Bastion of St. John.
The Clock Tower. Since the tower was built in 1602, walking routes through Kotor by the townspeople have led to the shame pole, near which the condemned heard their sentences.
Multiple palaces. Almost all routes in Kotor pass by a palace of some kind. Walking through the streets of the city, you can see the 18th century Princely Palace, where the Venetian governor lived, the palace of the Gregurina family of the same period, the palaces of Bizanti, Buca, Beskuca, Pima and Drago.
