Kotor hiking tour above the Old Town
If you’re looking for active things to do in Kotor, this guided hiking tour offers one of the best viewpoints over the Bay of Kotor and the Old Town. Starting near the port, the experience begins with a short walk through the historic streets before leaving through the north gate and following the old trail toward the hillside village of Špiljari.
This historic path has been used for centuries as a connection between Kotor and the mountains above. As you climb, the views gradually open across the bay, revealing the fortress walls, red rooftops and surrounding peaks. The pace is moderate and relaxed, with plenty of stops for photos and short breaks along the way.
Your local guide stays with you throughout the entire hike, sharing stories about Kotor, its defensive walls and life in the bay. The route is suitable for active travelers and cruise ship guests who want a manageable hike without committing to a full-day tour.
A highlight of the tour is the stop in the village of Špiljari, where we take a short break and you’ll try homemade goat cheese and pomegranate juice included in the tour. This quiet hillside village offers a different perspective of Kotor and a chance to slow down before walking back toward the Old Town.
If you want to experience Kotor beyond the busy streets and see the bay from above, this hiking tour is one of the most scenic and authentic things to do while visiting Kotor.
