Kotor Old Town & Cable Car Shore Excursion

Explore Kotor from two completely different perspectives —
the Old Town below and the mountain views above the bay.

A journey from the ancient streets of Kotor to the mountain heights above the bay,

combining coastal views, dramatic landscapes, and one of the most spectacular panoramas in Montenegro along the way.

Private groups • 3–4 hours • Local guide • Authentic stories

A combination of Kotor’s old stone streets, the Adriatic coast, and the mountain landscapes rising above the bay.

This shore excursion combines the atmosphere of Kotor’s medieval Old Town with the mountain landscapes rising high above the bay, all within a short distance from the port.

Explore the stone streets of Kotor before taking the cable car toward panoramic views where the mountains of Lovćen rise directly above the Adriatic coast, creating one of the most impressive views in Montenegro. At the top, there is time to walk around, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, have a drink or lunch, try additional activities, or simply take in the scenery at your own pace.

No long drives. No rushing. Just the contrast of sea, mountains, and history, experienced through beautiful views, local stories, and a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish.

What Will You See?

Walk through the streets and squares of Kotor Old Town while discovering the history, culture, and stories hidden inside the ancient walls.

After the walking tour, enjoy a short drive to the cable car station before ascending above Kotor Bay on an 11-minute cable car ride with constantly changing views of the sea, mountains, and coastline below.

At the top, there is free time to enjoy the panoramic views, walk around the area, relax with a drink or lunch, try the alpine coaster, explore local souvenirs, or simply take in the atmosphere from one of the most impressive viewpoints in Montenegro.
