Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor

A fjord-like bay, mountain views and old stone towns, an easy add-on from Dubrovnik.

Sample 8-night trip · April to October 2027

How I’d plan it

  • Days 1–4: Kotor. The walled old town, the fortress hike at sunrise, and a boat to Our Lady of the Rocks.
  • Days 5–8: Budva and the coast, or combine with Dubrovnik, about two hours away.

  • Private transfers between stops
  • The experiences above, booked for your dates

Good to know

This is a sample itinerary, not a priced package. I’ll quote it for your dates, airport and hotels. Summer in Europe books up early, so the sooner the better. A passport valid at least three months past your return is required for these countries. Booked through Fora Travel, Inc.; Traveling Wahoo LLC is an independent travel advisor.
