One of the main attractions of Kotor is the Kotor Fortress. According to the inhabitants of the city, not a single conqueror was able to take the city! Yes, and when you see the Kotor fortress, you can believe it - the fortress walls zigzag up the slopes of the mountains and go up 150 meters. It was almost impossible to take such a fortress : ) and climbed the Kotor Fortress to take amazingly beautiful pictures of the Bay of Kotor. I highly recommend everyone who wants to repeat my feat to have comfortable shoes, because the road upstairs is like masonry, collapsed in places, gravel, dust and hot sun ...The ascent goes up sharply, the fatigue in the legs is colossal. Climb at a fast pace for about 20-25 minutes, and go down for the same amount, so calculate your strength correctly.
By the way, for some reason the rise costs 3 euros : ) It is not clear what this fee is for. There is absolutely no infrastructure, only a road and mountains. Well, at least the road was repaired, or something ...Upstairs there is a small chapel where magnets and some water are sold. The view from the fortress, as I said, is amazing, and we did not regret for a minute that we climbed here!
