Verdict
Day Trip to Kotor, Montenegro

Is Day Trip to Kotor, Montenegro worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Day Trip to Kotor, Montenegro is an easy yes.

The drive along the Bay of Kotor is genuinely jaw-dropping and Kotor's own walled old town plus the climb to its fortress make a rewarding contrast to Dubrovnik. The honest catch is the border crossing can mean long, unpredictable queues in summer, it's a full long day mostly on a bus, and Kotor itself now gets its own cruise crowds. Go for the bay scenery as much as the town.
