About this experience

I have been a tour guide in Kotor region for more than 17 years. I offer you a guided tour of Old Town Kotor, world's cultural and natural heritage, in French.

The city is like a majestic labyrinth of narrow, winding streets. An unconquerable bastion thanks to the powerful ramparts which are among the oldest, longest and best preserved in the Mediterranean!

We can visit Old Town with all the sights but it's of your choice to decide what would you like to see.

Throughout the centuries, Kotor's Marketplace was a place for locals to buy fruits, vegetables, fish, diary products, but also place of gathering and socializing - a place to experience the way of life in Kotor.

Stop 2

One of the most significant medieval monuments on the Adriatic coast. It has Reliquary Chapel and the Museum of Sacral Art - traces of Western Christianity over a period of 1600 years.

Maritime Museum of Kotor - a glance at how the sea in past created Kotor's future, centuries long seafaring tradition. Here, you can "sail" across the time by observing valuable exhibits.

Stop 4

It is one of six Romanesque churches. It was a Catholic church when it was built in 12th century. It is the symbol of the religious tolerance because it used to have both Catholic and Orthodox altars. Since 19th century it is an Orthodox church.

It is one of six Romanesque churches called Saint Mary. The citizens of Kotor prefer to call it Blessed Osanna because her remains are exposed in the church. She is considered as a protector of Kotor along with Saint Tryphon. The relief in bronze on the main gate tells the story about her extraordinary life.
