Kotor, the "Cat City" of Montenegro, a fantastic adventure of the Great Wall and the fjord!

Kotor, Montenegro, the "Cat City" surrounded by ancient city walls, is definitely a niche and fresh experience! Not only is there a magnificent Great Wall, but also the southernmost fjord in Europe, the Bay of Kotor, which is so beautiful that Lonely Planet has praised it as "one of the most beautiful bays in the world"! The ancient city of Kotor was built in the Middle Ages and was an important port of the Venetian Republic. The old city is surrounded by a 4.5-kilometer-long city wall. Climb to the top of the city wall and overlook the entire Bay of Kotor, absolutely stunning! British poet Byron once exclaimed: "This is the most perfect masterpiece of nature and mankind." Tips for the Great Wall: Challenge 1350 steps: Start from the old city, ticket price is 15 euros, the whole journey takes 2-3 hours, climb up the winding Great Wall, and you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the sea and the old city, take a photo and post it on your social media, you will definitely get a lot of likes! Tito's Gate: This is the main entrance to the Great Wall, named after the Yugoslav leader Tito, and the slogan on the gate "Not mine, don't want it, mine, absolutely not give it!" is full of the style of an iron-fisted leader. The date above is also the date of the liberation of Kotor after World War II. Fjord activities: Boat tour: Take a boat tour into the Bay of Kotor and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the surrounding mountains. You can also visit the Blue Cave, which feels like you are in a Nordic fjord. Fjord hiking: Hike along the coastline and enjoy the stunning scenery of the azure sea and the emerald mountains. Take a photo and post it on your social media, you will definitely get a lot of likes! Summer is the paradise for European handsome guys and beautiful girls. Food recommendations: Montenegrin grilled meat platter: A paradise for meat lovers, with generous portions and local red wine, it's a blast! Seafood risotto: Fresh seafood from the Bay of Kotor, paired with fragrant rice, every bite is a burst of happiness! Absolutely Venetian flavor. Accommodation and transportation: Accommodation: There are many characteristic guesthouses in the old city, with affordable prices and the sound of waves at night. Don't miss the sunrise and sunset. Transportation: You can take a bus from the capital of Montenegro, Podgorica, or Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is convenient and affordable. Tips: Remember to bring water and sunscreen when climbing the Great Wall, don't be sunburned into a "Black Mountain" person! Don't forget to take a photo with the city's cats, they are the "mascots" of Kotor! There is also a cat museum.
