This stunning Kotor sail-in leads to the most beautiful medieval town
Kotor might be my favourite sail-in experience and the old medieval town itself is just as stunning. We step off MSC Lirica and walk straight into one of the most stunning old towns we've ever seen - and start hunting for the fortress steps. In this video, we explore Kotor Old Town on foot — no excursion, no shuttle, just us wandering through the medieval streets. We visit the main squares and St Tryphon Cathedral, meet the famous Kotor cats, and track down the start of the fortress climb. If you're on a cruise calling at Kotor, this is everything you need to know before you step off the ship. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 — Intro and sail-in to Kotor 1:28 — Docking Information 1:49 — Plan for the day (walking to the fortress?) 2:16 — Getting to Kotor Old Town 2:32 — Sea Gate and Arms Square 3:27 — St Tryphon Cathedral 3:44 — The Kotor cats 4:03 — Finding the fortress steps 4:50 — Hiking to the church & Amazing views! 6:48 — Search for beer and snacks 7:08 — Restaurant Scorpio 7:38 — Arms Square and heading back to the ship 8:30 - Fireworks and sail-away Want more MSC Lirica and our cruise, check out these videos...
