Much like Dubrovnik, Kotor’s Old Town is surrounded by a protective wall. Within the walls are narrow little alleys, charming old buildings rich with history, both Catholic and Orthodox churches, and of course restaurants and outdoor cafes. I spent a few hours wandering around the maze of streets, sat at a cafe for some prime people watching (and second hand smoke), and discovered why Montenegro is going to be the next big thing in European travel.

This building served as prison during Austria’s rule in the mid-19th century.

Entrance to the wall, which I would tackle bright and early the next morning.
