Solo travel experience
I spent five days in the old town of Kotor and it felt like a fairytale. I absolutely loved it and would love to go back. There was something so chill about just walking around the small little town and eating at different restaurants and poking my head in shops and just relaxing, then taking a boat out on the water or walking along the bay.

Local experience
Make sure you base yourself on the bay side towards Kotor/Tivat and not on the Herceg Novi side, otherwise you will have to take a ferry every time you go explore. Definitely go visit Herceg Novi, but stay on the other side of the bay. If you like hiking, don't miss a Kotor hike above the old town. It's 8 Euros, but stunning view of the bay and the town. Start the hike late when the sun starts going down and catch the sunset. Go to Sv. Gospa od Skrpjela island in front of Pearst. There is an interesting town called Lustica Bay on the Lustica peninsula. On your way to Durmitor if you have time stop by Ostrog Monastery. There is also white water rafting on Tara and the canyon is worth seeing.
Group travel experience
I spent a week just around the Bay of Kotor. We based ourselves at a cosy little Bnb in Perast with the most incredible terrace and view. From there we went into Kotor and some of the other tiny towns around there. There’s tons of spots to stop and swim, and the views are insane. Kotor is lovely! Also really enjoyed an afternoon in Risen seeing mosaics. I really recommend renting a kayak in the bay. We also did a day-long sailing trip and it was amazing!
