Kotor · Things to do

The icon: 1,350 steps zigzagging to a ruined fortress 280m above the roofs. Allow two hours return and carry water.

One eccentric room of feline prints, postcards and lithographs. Takings go towards feeding the Old Town's famous street cats.

The free back way out of town: 72 mule-track switchbacks to a 940m pass. Three to six hours return, no gate, no crowds.

Forested stone switchbacks climb from the water to an abandoned Austro-Hungarian fort with bay views on both sides.

Twenty minutes up the bay, a 2nd-century villa holds Montenegro's finest mosaic floor, including a rare sleeping Hypnos.
