Audio Guide of Kostanjica Old Town

Kostanjica Old Town is open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as it is a historic settlement. You can easily get there by car, as it is well signposted, or by bus from Kotor. A boat trip through the Bay of Kotor is also popular, offering stunning views as you arrive at the village.

No, it is completely free! You can stroll through the historic streets and enjoy the atmosphere without paying any entrance fee. Some museums or specific buildings within the old town may charge fees, but general exploration is free.

Normally, I would recommend setting aside 1 to 2 hours to explore Kostanjica Old Town. It is a small and charming village, perfect for a relaxed walk, enjoying the views, and perhaps having a drink at one of its seafront cafés. If you stop for a meal or visit a church, it could take longer.

Kostanjica is famous for its traditional stone architecture and for being one of the best places to admire the Bay of Kotor in all its glory, especially Our Lady of the Rocks and Saint George Island. In addition, it has been a strategic settlement with a rich maritime history, preserving its original charm over the centuries.

Spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) are ideal for visiting, with pleasant weather and fewer crowds. For the best time of day, I suggest going early in the morning to enjoy the peace and quiet, or at sunset, when golden light bathes the buildings and the bay, creating a magical atmosphere.

Due to its historic nature, with cobbled streets and uneven surfaces, accessibility may be limited in certain areas of the old town. However, many of the main areas and the promenades along the coast are more accessible. I recommend checking in advance if you have specific needs so you can plan your visit.

There is plenty to see nearby! Do not miss the famous islands of Our Lady of the Rocks and Saint George, reachable by boat from Perast, which is very close by. You can also visit the charming town of Perast with its Baroque palaces, or the impressive walled city of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Of course! I recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking on the cobbled streets. Do not forget your camera, as the views of the bay are spectacular. Try the local cuisine at one of the seafront restaurants and consider taking a boat trip to enjoy Kostanjica and its surroundings from the water. Enjoy the peace and beauty of this corner of Montenegro!
