The Best Cheap Hostels in Kotor, Montenegro

Kotor is a fortified town on Montenegro's Adriatic coast in a bay near the limestone cliffs of Mt. Lovcen. Wedged between brooding mountains and a moody corner of the bay, the achingly atmospheric Kotor is perfectly at one with its setting. Hemmed in by staunch walls snaking improbably up the surrounding slopes, the town is a medieval maze of museums, churches, cafe-strewn squares and Venetian palaces and pillories. Characterized by winding streets and squares, its medieval old town has several Romanesque churches, including Kotor Cathedral. It’s also home to the Maritime Museum, which explores local seafaring history. Sveti Dorde, one of 2 tiny islands off the ancient town of Perast, features a centuries-old church. It's a dramatic and delightful place where the past coexists with the present. Come nightfall, Kotor's spectacularly lit-up walls glow as serenely as a halo; behind the fortifications, the streets buzz with bars, live music – from soul to serenades – and castle-top clubbing.

Kotor is a charming destination with plenty to offer and these hostels provide an excellent base for exploring the area.
