Kotor, Montenegro

Montenegro outside the summer season can seem deserted and boring if you don't know what to do and where to stay. In the large resort center - Budva - there are many options for accommodation, shops and restaurants, but one cannot count on a serious cultural and entertainment program in March-April. For this time of year, we recommend choosing Kotor: here you will combine walks along the sea, enjoy the natural beauty of the Bay of Kotor and the architecture of the Adriatic.

Old city

Walking through the labyrinths of old Kotor will not disappoint you or your child.

Be sure to stop for a lemonade or coffee at any of the cafes open at this time. You can look into one of the Kotor museums - for example, in Cat museum (price - 1 € / 77 rubles), which contains paintings, postcards, coins depicting cats. Or in Maritime museum (price per adult - 4 € / 310 rubles, per child - 1 € / 77 rubles) with a collection dedicated to the maritime history of the city.

Fortress of St. John

The favorite entertainment of tourists in Kotor is climbing the fortress above the city. There are two benefits to doing this in the spring. Firstly, from October to April, you can climb for free (during the season you will have to pay 8 € / 620 rubles). Secondly, under the scorching rays, climbing 1300 steps turns into a hellish test. The views of the city and the bay from a height of 260 meters are stunning. Keep in mind: if the child still does not walk well, it is better to refuse to climb - it will be unrealistic to drag him on yourself.
