About this tour
This session moves from a quieter side gate to the town's own morning market. You see the smaller southern gate, a nineteenth-century Orthodox church in the main square, and the market stalls just outside the walls. It follows a route most visitors never quite piece together in one go.
I keep an easy pace between the gate and the church, then slow down properly at the market, since there is always something specific worth pointing out among the stalls. Questions about the produce are welcome throughout.
This suits anyone who wants to see where Kotor actually shops rather than only where it prays. It also suits early risers who want the market at its freshest.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 6 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.
-
South Gate 17 min
You see a smaller gate on the old town's southern side, quieter than the main entrance, and I explain why this side of town grew more slowly than the harbour front.
-
St Nicholas Church 17 min
The camera reaches a nineteenth-century Orthodox church in the main square, and I point out details in its twin domes that are easy to miss from a distance.
-
Kotor Market (Pijaca) 17 min
You see the stalls of the town's morning market just outside the walls, and I explain which produce actually comes from the bay's own hillsides rather than further inland.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Kotor: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Kačamak and Old Town, worth a slower look.

How it works
