The walk up the walls is very good, you get spectacular views over the Bay of Kotor. There is a ruined fort at the top. It costs 8E which is a tourist rip off and the state of the paths at the top is very poor. You can walk up a different path for free that goes right up to the top of the mountain and then you get views over Kotor from higher up with the fort in as well, so you're probably better off doing this.

Spectacular views on the walk up to the fortress and at the top itself. Yes, there is an entry fee to pay from 8am, but this is a medieval structure and needs ongoing maintenance. It is extremely steep in places. I would say it is challenging in the heat unless you are very fit. Numerous other visitors of different shapes, sizes and ages only went part way that I saw. I have a knee issue and by the time I'd been up and back down, my legs were like jelly and I'm feeling it in my knee the day after. You can walk a good part of the walls around the actual city without paying anything, from the North to the South gate or in reverse.

I t took me over 2 hours up and down with plenty of stops but i took my time as i am not very fit and it was definitely worth it.The views are spectacular . There are some spots very tough where steps are narrow and some areas are uneven. There are some ladies selling water and soft drinks at the top

This is our second time walk I the walls and battlements up the side of the mountain. It is loads of fun. I suggest packing a lunch and stopping frequently along the way. There are a few places where old garrisons were located. Some places to sit and soak up the views. Fun plants and birds along the way. The close you get to the top the more you can see over/around the hill towards Cetinje. We like leaving late AM in the winter or spring months. And staying g top long enough to see some sunset colors as we descend. If you take the route down to Tryphon’s Cathedral, you can see that as well and then have a coffee at the rooftop cafe of Hotel Hippocampus. If you go to Tryphon see the museums on the second floor. Take a liter or two of water per person depending on temp any your normal needs. Take your advil or aleve before you depart! Enjoy.

Fantastic hike to the top, with so much to look at on the way. Views all the way up were phenomenal, as with the rich history of the place. You do need decent mobility to get up as the path and stairs are uneven and, when we went up, slippery. It took us about 3 hours up and back with 2 young kids (5 & 7).

I’ve seen my fair share of ancient city walls in my years of traveling, and Kotor’s walls surely rank up there, scoring particularly high marks for their modest size yet big charm. You can climb to the top of the walls in a few places, but doing so is not compatible with a wheelchair. The best ways to appreciate the walls are to view them aerially from the mountainside or to enter the old town through the iconic Sea Gate.

There are three entrances to the Kotor Walls walk, all along the back of the old town. One is near the north entrance under an old arch and up 50m, one is up a small staircase roughly in the middle (blink and you miss it), the final one is just on the left as you come in the southern gate. All of them have signs to the Kotor Fortress with a map of the town. They each start on a different path and then join up about a fifth of the way up. It’s EUR15 per person and even if you get there early enough to avoid paying, you will need to show your ticket to exit the turnstile when you come down. The walk is hard but not too hard and as it zigzags up there are plenty of places to stop and take photos. I would definitely avoid going when the ground is wet or in full sun. We entered at 8am and exited about 9:30 with lots of photo and rest stops. At the top there is an enterprising woman selling drinks from a cool box at double the price down below but then she carried them all the way up.

This is a strenuous walk up the hillside to visit the old fortress buildings. I recommend trainers and/or shoes with good gripping soles. Only go if you feel that €15/per person is worth contributing to the preservation of this amazing town and its hillside fortress. Take water and sun protection. Like many places in Montenegro, it was cash only for the tickets. The ticket seller said that they no Internet to accept card payments although he clearly had a card machine there on his desk. My husband later said we should have offered him a hotspot as we had great signal there 🤣 We started this walk around 9am, and the path was in the shade most of the way up. By the time we were coming down around 10am, much of the path was in the sun. I wouldn't want to be climbing up in the heat of July sun. We got to the bottom around 10.30am The route has steps at the side as well as a stony track next to them. The stones can be slippery in places so I recommend using the steps when you come down. Going up on the stony track was fine. It took us around 40 mins to go up - we are relatively fit and stopped for water breaks and to look at bits of the fortress. There are several sections of the fortress as you ascend, so you can break up the climb by having a look at them. All the sections are ruins. There are some interpretation boards to help you understand what you are seeing. The views from the top are amazing. And you have a sense or accomplishment from having made it up and down - and have truly earned yourself a heavenly ice cream from Moritz Eis at the bottom (I heartily recommend a combo of Dark Chocolate and Mandarin Orange flavours!

It is important to realise that there are different areas of the city walls. Some are low level and surround the flat area of Kotor. Only bits of this are accessible and I don't think they are priorities. The bit that most of these reviews are about is the section of the walls that snake up the hill past the Church of Our Lady of Remedy and up to the Fortress. This costs 15 euros to walk (free for young kids) and is uphill and strenuous, but offers great views. The best views of the old town itself is the lower half, where the opposite hills frame the old town. The view at the switchback just past the Church of Our Lady of Remedy is particularly celebrated, and on our walk this is as far as the family managed. It was do-able with a 8 year old and 10 year old, though in summer best do it in the morning as that's when you get the shade on this section. I continued up to the fortress where you get more expansive views of the bay, but not so good views of the old town.
