Surrounded by a stone wall, Kotor is a real treasure for tourists. It is located in one of the most stunning and insanely beautiful bays on the planet. Knowingly it occupies the top line of a rating of cities, under version Lonely Planet which are worth to visit in 2016.
This ancient city deserves to be visited in it, at least once in a lifetime. From the city wall offers a breathtaking view of the bay. His charm lies in many ways. And in the way it harmoniously coexists with its surrounding nature, and in the labyrinth of its narrow, winding streets, and in squares of irregular, and sometimes bizarre, form in its history and architecture.
A large number of cruise ships lay their route through Kotor, which in the midst of the tourist season is overloaded with tourists. Therefore, we recommend to visit it right now. In Kotor it is good to take excursions and boat trips, which makes it possible to explore such parts of the mountain environment as the fjord and the bay.
This year the port of Kotor will receive 437 cruise ships that will deliver about 500,000 tourists and 200,000 crew members, also the arrival of more than 2,000 yachts is expected, which is 28 ships and 50,000 more passengers than last year, Mirza Krtsic, the director of the tourism organization Kotor.
"Based on information received from tourism organizations from around the world, we expect about 900,000 tourists, with a one-day visit to Kotor. These are guests who will arrive by cruise liners, tourists from Dubrovnik and the Budva Riviera, "says Krtsic.

Given that Kotor received a prestigious nomination from the British travel guide Lonely Planet, as the first of the top 10 places to visit this year, Krtsic stressed that he guarantees the quality of preparation for the upcoming season.
We are aware of the lack of hotel capacity, and in order to justify this award, we will have to work with the local administration to prepare the infrastructure, to remove all the pain points - the collapsing buildings, the appearance of hotels, etc. Now, he said, there are many unconfirmed hotel armor, which is due to the fact that most of the facilities are closed.
