About this tour
This session moves from the old town's main gate straight to its cathedral, two buildings almost everyone photographs without stopping to look closely. You see the arched entrance that has served the town for centuries, then the twin towers of a Romanesque cathedral just inside it. It stays within a few minutes' walk throughout.
I explain the gate's carvings and the cathedral's uneven towers in real detail, since both have a clear answer once someone asks. The pace stays relaxed and questions are welcome at either stop.
This suits anyone who wants Kotor's two most photographed buildings properly explained. It also suits anyone with only a short amount of time before moving on.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later

You see the arched stone gate that has served as Kotor old town's main entrance for centuries, and I explain how the carvings above it changed hands along with the town itself over different periods of rule.
