Audio Guide of the Old Shipyard

The Old Shipyard of Baošići is mostly an open-air site and does not have strict opening and closing hours like a traditional museum. You can visit during the day. I recommend going in daylight so you can fully appreciate the surroundings and the historic remains. There is no restricted access or entrance gates.

Not at all! The Old Shipyard of Baošići is an open-air historic site, and access is completely free. There are no ticket booths or admission tickets, which allows you to explore the area freely and at your own pace. It is an excellent option for enjoying history at no cost.

The length of the visit may vary, but generally 30 to 60 minutes is enough to explore the visible remains of the shipyard and enjoy the views. If you enjoy photography or like to pause and take in the scenery, you may want to stay a little longer. It is not a place that requires several hours.

The Old Shipyard of Baošići has great historical importance because it was part of the vibrant naval tradition of the Bay of Kotor. Although its exact origins are uncertain, it is believed to have been a crucial center for building and repairing vessels in the region, reflecting Montenegro’s maritime power over the centuries. It is a remnant of the country’s seafaring heritage.

The best time to visit is during spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October), when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller. If you visit in summer, I suggest going early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the strongest heat and enjoy beautiful light for photos. Sunsets over the bay are spectacular from there.

Because it is an open-air historic site with uneven ground and the remains of the shipyard can be difficult to navigate, access for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility may be limited. There are no specific facilities such as ramps. Caution is recommended, and it is best to assess the area before visiting.

Baošići is a great starting point! Very close by, you can explore the charming town of Herceg Novi with its fortress, or take a short ferry trip to Mamula Island (if access is allowed) and its historic fortress. You can also enjoy the local beaches or the promenade along the Bay of Kotor. There is so much to explore!

Absolutely. I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, especially if you want to explore up close. If you go in summer, do not forget sun protection and a bottle of water. Consider bringing your camera, because the views of the bay and the shipyard at sunset are spectacular. And above all, take your time and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the place.
