About this tour
This session walks the squares and lanes of Kotor Old Town, from the Sea Gate and the Square of Arms to the cathedral of St Tryphon and the doorway of the town's small cat museum. The guide moves through the walled centre in real time, pointing out the maritime palace on the way and the unnamed streets locals navigate by memory. It is a plain look at the old town's layout rather than a list of sights.
The session opens with a sound check, then follows the four stops in order through the old town, leaving space for questions at each square. Towards the end, the guide answers what is asked and follows up with a short list of details to remember.
This suits anyone curious about how a small walled town is actually laid out, cats included, whether or not a visit is planned. It also works for anyone who has been to Kotor before and wants to see it again.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 8 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Kotor before heading out.
-
Sea Gate and Square of Arms 18 min
The camera enters Kotor Old Town through the Sea Gate, into the wide Square of Arms just inside the walls, and the guide explains why this square was the town's civic centre and parade ground.
-
St Tryphon's Cathedral 18 min
Outside the Romanesque cathedral, the guide points out its twin towers and explains that the building dates to the twelfth century, before moving along the lane that curls around its side.
-
Maritime Museum palace 18 min
The camera pauses outside the baroque palace that now holds the Maritime Museum, and the guide describes the family that built it and what the building has been used for since.
-
Cat museum and the unnamed streets 18 min
Near a small museum devoted to the town's resident cats, the guide walks streets that carry no names, and explains how locals still describe directions by landmark rather than address.
-
Your questions 16 min
Time to ask anything about Kotor: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 7 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Kačamak and Škaljari, worth a slower look.
