What a fantastic walk, but you must be ready for lots and lots of stairs! You have the choice to just go halfway up to a small church or go farther up to the fortress on a gravel, not so well maintained (but fun!) path. Don't wear flip-flops or heels.

We stopped in Kotor for lunch on our way from Dubrovnik to Tirana. We were with a tour group and only given two hours to eat lunch and explore the town. Our one regret is we didn't have a few more hours to climb the entire way to the top of the walls. We only reached the church about 15... More

Kotor was high on our agenda of places to visit in Montenegro, and there is no doubt that the primary tourist attraction is visiting the old town and climbing the ancient city walls. The climb itself is staggered so there are numerous places to pause, catch your breath and take in the amazing views. You'll need a good 45 mins... More

Take your camera, a bottle of water and some good walking shoes. It's a big climb but with great views.

Tremendous views over the Old Town and the bay, today we had two cruise liners dock so great viewing point ! Good idea to do this as early as possible, wouldn't think I could have attempted it on a sunnier day so the mixed weather and cloud was a least good for that this morning! I counted 2045 of my...

After visiting Kotor on an organised trip in 2011 the need to return to Kotor to climb the walls was a must for me. The old town is lovely with a nice mix of cafes, bars and souvenir shops.I think there are 2 entrances to the walls and a small charge is payable I think it was 3 Euros each.... More

Montenegro is so picturesque, a stop in Kotor and a trip to the top is a must. Taking a trip up at night is great as well, just bring a flash light and after 8:00 there is no one there to charge you either.

We sailed into Kotor Bay on a cruiseship and the whole experience is stunning - fjord-like scenery and gorgeous glimpses of churches and sanctuaries tucked into the hillsides and on islands in the bay. Some fellow travelers told us to do the climb of the walls - and it was stunning. Mrs Gilly managed the halfway point and I went... More

The big hike up the walls is well worth the view from the top! Try to go after 4, then you avoid the big crowds from the cruisers.
