Europe

The cats protect the city from mice, and in return, the people feed them.” The local shopkeeper told me as I was walking toward a dozen cats sitting on the stone steps at a locality near the Old Town.

On a backpacking trip to Kotor, Montenegro, I found cats on the ancient walls, in cafes, and everywhere! Stretching their bodies in the Sun and with their purrs, they indeed looked like the guardians of the city. And it is them who made me feel at home.

However, it’s not just the cats that make Kotor in Montenegro an ideal budget travel destination for backpackers. It now features in the second spot as one of the most underrated budget backpacker destinations by Bamba Travel.

Its medieval streets, historic architecture, hiking routes, and seafood offer the most affordable travel options for backpackers. Also, it is a less-crowded place than most hotspots in Western Europe.

Is there more to a Kotor Montenegro budget travel experience? We will figure out the answer in this blog. We will also talk about how to reach Kotor, Montenegro, the modes of transportation for moving around and more.

Let’s plan a trip to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Natural Beauty Of Kotor, Montenegro Speaks: Understanding Its Location 

The Natural Beauty Of Kotor Montenegro Speks Understanding Its Location

Another vivid memory I have of Kotor is how I started my hike to the Kotor Fortress before sunrise. I was halfway up, and nature was getting ready to be bathed with the first rays of the Sun.

The chirpings of birds and that smell, a mix of the scent of an oven after a cake is freshly baked, and the dew-drenched leaves created an ambiance that was inexplicable.

Nevertheless, a local shepherd offered some cheese and rakija (homemade brandy), and we talked about life. Then, the Sun illuminated the entire Kotor Bay.

Now, if not this, what is magic for a backpacker or traveler?

Now, thanks to the unique natural location of Kotor, Montenegro, you can encounter many such magical experiences. Located in the Bay of Kotor, Kotor is a coastal town of Montenegro, and it is a part of the Kotor Municipality.

It sits between the Adriatic Sea and the Dinaric Alps and has a mountainous terrain.

How To Reach Kotor, Montenegro? How Tourists From Different Parts Of the World Can Visit Kotor? 

How To Reach Kotor Montenegro How Tourists From Different Parts Of the World Can Visit Kotor

The easiest way to reach Kotor is to travel to the Tivat Airport. Located at a distance of around 7 km, it is the closest to Kotor. You have to travel the remaining route by local transport.

Podgorica Airport (40 km) and Dubrovnik Airport (44km, Croatia) are the two other airports near Montenegro.

You will get flights from major European cities to these airports, and buses also run from neighboring countries such as Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina to Podgorica and Kotor.

Furthermore, you can travel from Belgrade in Serbia to Podgorica in Montenegro and from Belgrade in Serbia to Bar in Montenegro.

In addition, if you are traveling from Italy, you can take a ferry from Ancona on Italy’s eastern coast and take a ferry to Bar in Montenegro. You will have to make a journey of around 13 hours to reach your destination.

Flights, Trains, Buses, And Other Modes of Transportation 

For a backpacker, it’s a must to explore the Bay of Kotor in a boat. This boat takes you to many nearby towns and villages. However, for me, the trip to Perast was the highlight of these boat trips.

The village has fewer than 300 people, and the quaint village offers some of the grandest views.

Furthermore, if you want to move around and explore Kotor and its nearby localities by road, you will get car rentals, taxis, and shuttles.

Why Is Kotor Montenegro Budget Travel So Popular Among Back packers

While Greece and Croatia get all the attention on big tourism platforms, Montenegro in the Balkans is emerging as a favorite of the budget backpack travelers, thanks to the steady numbers.

According to a report published by the International Trade Administration on 20th May 2024, tourism contributes 30% to Montenegro’s GDP. Furthermore, the country is planning to boost its tourism prospects with a great focus on the following areas.

  • Ecotourism 
  • Cultural Tourism 
  • Rural Tourism 

Furthermore, another report published in ReportLinger suggests that the number of tourists to Montenegro is likely to reach 3.4 million by 2028. This is again a 2.8% rise from the number of 2.9 million tourists in 2023.

Also, the tourism revenue is expected to reach $95 million by 2028.

Now, in this scenario, Kotor is emerging as a sustainable tourism gem after a successful sustainability assessment by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

The Port of Kotor in Montenegro, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), and the Municipality of Kotor have done a successful assessment of the city.

Vladimir Jokić, Mayor of Kotor, has commented,

As the Mayor of Kotor, I am pleased to say that Kotor is one of the few cities in the region that has undergone an important sustainability assessment process as a tourist destination. Together with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and CLIA, we brought together various stakeholders from public life to gather their input.

All participants from public life, city government bodies, state authorities, universities, the civil sector, the economy, and entrepreneurs took part in this process. The assessment results provided us with a clear insight into the impact of tourism on our city, which will help us develop effective strategies for sustainable tourism – that is, how we should move forward regarding tourism.” 

So, Kotor today is a benchmark in sustainable tourism in the European region, and it is a budget-friendly travel destination among tourists for the following reasons.

1. Affordable Accommodation Options, Including Hostels And Guesthouses 

Kotor has plenty of budget stays, from cozy guesthouses run by local families to hostels right inside the Old Town.

Many include free Wi-Fi, breakfast, and kitchen access. Prices start at around €10–€15 per night during the off-season, and you’ll often meet other travelers sharing tips over morning coffee. 

2. Stunning Natural Beauty With Mountains And The Adriatic Sea 

Kotor sits where the rugged Dinaric Alps meet the calm Adriatic Sea. Whether you’re hiking up to the fortress or just wandering the waterfront, every corner feels like a postcard.

The Bay of Kotor, often called Europe’s southernmost fjord, is perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just soaking in the sunset. 

3. Rich Cultural And Historical Heritage In The Old Town 

The Old Town is a maze of medieval lanes, Venetian palaces, and stone churches dating back to the 12th century.

Walking here feels like stepping back in time and the best part is that exploring them is absolutely free! You can easily spend hours admiring its architecture and lively squares without spending a cent. 

4. Numerous Free And Low-Cost Attractions 

Many Kotor Montenegro activities are budget-friendly and free. Strolling along the Marina is the most relaxing experience I had at Kotor, Montenegro.

Furthermore, the entrance fees to the museums and cathedrals here are very few. You need to just pay a few dollars.

Overall, the magic of Kotor lies in exploring the city on foot or by boat the Kotor Bay.

5. Easy Access To Hiking Trails Like The Ladder Of Kotor 

1350 Steps! Yes, you have to climb 1350 steps to complete the Ladder of Kotor hike. However, climbing up so many steps is a rewarding experience as the panoramic views of the city and the surroundings are breathtaking.

6. Budget-friendly Local Cuisine And Street Food 

Kotor Montenegro food is comforting and simple, an extension of the simplicity of the city. I fell in love with sell burek or the savory pastries here.

The filling in these pastries will remind you of your mother or grandmother who can create the biggest magic on the plate with the simplest ingredients.

Furthermore, the family-run taverns or konobas here served the best grilled meat and seafood at the most affordable price. 

7. Proximity To Other Balkan Destinations 

You can easily include visiting places such as gems like Budva, Podgorica, or Dubrovnik in your Kotor Montenegro itinerary.

Regional and international buses are available during the daytime and nighttime to explore these places on a budget.

8. Friendly Locals And A Welcoming Atmosphere 

Montenegrins are hospitable, and language is never a barrier here. Many people here speak English. Especially the younger ones are well-versed in the language.

So, it does not matter whether you are visiting Kotor for the first time or the last time. You will connect easily.

9. Vibrant Backpacker Community And Social Hostels 

Kotor Montenegro hostels are beyond budget-friendly accommodations. These turn out to be the local social hub for solo travelers. Many of these hostels focus on activities such as: 

  • Hiking Trips 
  • Group Dinners 
  • Local Events 
  • Pub Crawling 

So, you make new friends and earn new experiences with the locals guiding you.

10. Opportunities For Volunteering And Work Exchanges 

Are you a digital nomad? Or, are you staying longer in Kotor? Many cafes, hostels and eco-projects in the city offer work-exchange programs or volunteer services.

Explore platforms such as Worldpackers and Workaway to explore the listed job opportunities. Furthermore, there are many hostels and cafes where you can work for a few hours and get free accommodation and food in return.

I have found several such listings on Worldpackers. You will have to work for 20 to 24 hours a week and have to shoulder working at receptions, administration, cleaning and housekeeping. You will get a shared dormitory and one meal in exchange for these services.

Is Visiting Kotor Montenegro, Worth It? 

Is Visiting Kotor Montenegro Worth It

I was walking through Old Town and stumbled upon a group of elderly men playing traditional Montenegrin music on guitars and accordions.

Locals stopped, clapped, and danced spontaneously. They even invited me to join in. I learnt the local dances right there on the cobblestones. Now, this is the spirit of Montenegro, it’s about living life to the fullest and understanding the magic of minimalism.

Furthermore, the main attractions such as the St. Tryphon Cathedral, the town of Perast, the Blue Cave, the Bay of Kotor, and the City Walls allow you to soak in its cultural heritage, history, and scenic beauty on a budget.

Is Kotor, Montenegro, Struggling With Overtourism?

Yes, like Venice, Barcelona, and many other major European cities, Kotor, the “Unsung” coastal beauty, is also struggling with the perils of overtourism. The rising number of cruises to the city is leading to this problem.

As a result, the locals are now advocating for higher entrance fees. So, discussions are going on about raising the entrance fee, which is 1 Euro. This is justified because housing costs are rising due to the increase in tourism, and there are also environmental concerns.

And it is not just homeowners who are worried about these growing numbers. The local shopkeepers and NGOs who work for community development and environmental issues are also concerned by the sudden boost in tourism.

During my trip, I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Mandic, an environmental activist in the city. She said, “Hundreds of tourists are visiting the city every day. They are writing the city’s future, which will be irreversible.” 

The Municipality of Kotor and the local tourism authorities will monitor the numbers to maintain the pristine charm of the coastal town.
