Activities: We explored the medieval walled old town, which is car-free and perfect for roaming within its walls. We also climbed up the town walls for amazing views over the old town and bay

Highlights: The kids enjoyed the many cats roaming through town that have become a quirky symbol of Kotor. We all loved the spectacle in the evening when the town walls are lit up ✨

Montenegro: falling for a country I barely knew existed
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the old town of Kotor, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The children played knights and we enjoyed the warm evening, escaping the tourist crowds

Highlights: The children had fun playing knights within the city walls. It was a pleasant escape from the crowds. "Barnen leker riddare, kvällen är varm, vi flyr turistmassorna och jag tänker att livet inte blir så mycket bättre än så här." (The children play knights, the evening is warm, we flee the tourist crowds and I think that life doesn't get much better than this) ✨
