Medieval Experience Of The Mountains

OVERVIEW

Ride a cable car to the summit of Mount Lovćen for an immersive medieval experience and upon descending explore Kotor’s atmospheric Old Town, which was founded even earlier. Through the cable car’s oversized windows, you will gaze out over towering cliffs, forested mountains and the royal-blue waters of the Bay of Kotor. Atop the mountain, you will join a workshop that re-creates aspects of medieval life. You will watch artisans forge weapons and armor, print books using ancient presses, mint coins and make jewelry by hand. During free time, you might be so inspired by the archery and fencing demonstrations that you try these defensive skills yourself. Considered to be the best-preserved medieval urban setting in the Mediterranean, Old Town Kotor exudes history, the reason UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site. While meandering through its enchanting streets and public squares, you will likely see medieval churches, palaces and the thick-walled fortress.
