Kotor is probably one of the most popular day trips from Dubrovnik, next to Lokrum and Mostar. Even though it’s only about an hour and a half away, the tiny Montenegrin town offers almost completely different scenery than Dubrovnik. Lush, green mountains surround the Bay of Kotor and the quaint Old Town.
Kotor is also an ideal place for hiking. You can hike up the walls of Kotor and get a fantastic view of the entire bay. You can get to Kotor via car or tour. If you happen to go by car, I recommend leaving as early in the morning as possible to avoid a wait at the border.
