48 Hours in the most UNDERRATED CITY in EASTERN EUROPE | Kotor, Montenegro

We have found the most underrated city in Eastern Europe!
We have started our road trip from Croatia to Montenegro (with a little stop over in Bosnia to cross the borders).
Everyone told us about the border crossings through these countries so we are testing it out for you guys to see what they are like and honestly we had no issues.
Upon arrival in Kotor I mean wow this city is absolutely incredible, so underrated, there's so much to see and do and eat.
Hope you enjoy the video :)

[@kristinastijepovic9103]

[@justinlove5526]

[@Ferhat89]

The cat head bumping the girl was soo cute 😍

[@alberttsoi]

Wonderful trip. Europe has so many hidden gems...

[@flyingthenest]

Agreed!

[@BigSmallTravel]

Montenegro is not so hidden anymore - It is too touristy now.

[@VArsovski10]

The good old Adriatic coast architecture and lifestyle.. Went to Croatia few months ago, miss it already :D

[@dobletv9769]

I am Montenegrian and thanks man 😉

[@walkingwithsteve0583]

You are one of the worlds mist beautiful families. Your interactions with each other, respect and values. Thanks for sharing your vacation.

[@flyingthenest]

naww Steve this is too much! Thank you for your kind words - our families LOVE reading everyone's nice comments!

[@walkingwithsteve0583]

Nope, it’s not. In my job as an ambo, I see thousands of families, the good, the bad and all between. I stick by my words. Keep up the wonderful work of bringing the world to many who otherwise would never see it based on how you cover it. Keep smiling :-)

[@Spavii]

I live in Montenegro. But I live in Podgorica, not in Kotor. The beaches on Montenegro really are beautiful. Thank you for checking out our country. Anyways, who watches this in 2019?

[@dijanakrivokapic1642]

Ja sam isto iz Podgorice

[@Jockec]

I ja

[@zeinabcaskey2569]

I'm visiting Podgorica in December!

[@rominalein17]

Hey, do you have any tips or locations. I went in the end of October to montenegro. Greetings

[@Jockec]

@@rominalein17 depends on whad do you whant to see

[@Distracte]

As a local of Bay of Kotor, you picked the perfect time for visiting, because during the summer its really crowded and you cant enjoy the places as much, if you come with family.

[@farhangani2534]

I was there in August, it's an amazing city. I have to go back there, if you guys have the time to go Durmitor I definetly recommend it. The tara bridge and the black lake are amazing.

[@flyingthenest]

We definitely needed more time here but we literally had a few days and had to pick one city. Next time though 😊

[@OliviaBarrosMusic]

Hi there, is August a good time to visit? We are looking for a holiday where you can explore the history of the city but also relax on the beach and get some good weather. Would this be a good place for that? What was the weather like? :)

[@mirkovukoslavovic2636]

@@OliviaBarrosMusic August is great. I recommend Kotor for sightseeing. You should stay in Herceg Novi or Tivat. Perast is nice in municipality of Kotor. Weather should be nice in august it is the peak of the season. After the chinese wall the second biggest is in Kotor, on top of the mountain. I recommend you to try local food there. 🙃🇲🇪❤ bienvenuti !

[@milica_popovic]

Im so glad you liked my home town. :) In the video when you entered old town (which by the way has 3 gates to enter in the city), you came across Gulliver's underwear.... (which my mom sew btw) ... that is the instalation that marks Childrens theather festival... the Lampshade is also a part of that. The entire city gets installations all over for the festival. Hope you guys will come again :)

[@milicavanilica1]

I am from Montenegro,and i live in Kotor and i LOVE it

[@kata4030]

i was there when i was 12 years old! i really miss Montenegro☹️ this country is so beautiful and just wow! oh and i loved Bosnia and Herzegovina too!😍 these countries are very beautiful and special!😍

[@AlyssaMay712]

Just went here in July. Literally did all of these, including Bosnia, Mostar. ❤️❤️

[@aneeshaero005]

Great place to explore, this is kinda the places vloggers like you should go to. Great video. Steph, your old man will be a great asset for your channel, keep him stick with you guys for a while, he's very funny and good timing for comedies. Wonderful family with good sense of humour. Also, Jess's shoulder carrying of your sister was very nice.

[@vanlouieb]

You guys are literally not only relationship goals but also TRAVEL Goals! Love your channel! Keep it up

[@MLucry98]

I am from Kotor and when I saw this I was impressed. You made an amazing video about our small town. But next time you must go on the fortress, it's amazing up there and the view is stunning. :)

[@welshlad6427]

What a fantastic vlog guys. I’ve been watching many other videos about travelling from Croatia 🇭🇷 to Montenegro 🇲🇪 and no one else mentioned the green card. A big thanks 🙏 I’m heading to Dubrovnik and wanted to travel to Kotor for a day and a night. This has helped greatly. Thank you 👍

[@indie_pie]

I thought I was the only one thinking about it lol

[@hersheyhigh4445]

You need to visit Kotor - me : What! where is it? Croatia is really beautiful. No wonder why our PM Tun spent a month holiday there in 1996 or 97.

[@pikolino7087]

And oh BOY is Kotor dirty. The place stinks of sewers.

[@kouni.i]

SaltSaltSalt not anymore

[@kjean86]

I was on a walking tour through Kotor and we passed by the Christmas store... I immediately thanked our guide and jumped out. Santa was calling.

[@flyingthenest]

Haha best time to bail on the walking tour!!

[@DivertLiving]

That seems like it went a lot smoother then most land boarder crossings! Glad it wasn't super difficult!

[@EvaUnit_01]

The small towns and yacht tours are so unique in your vlogs, it’s really cool

[@lenasrandomshit7640]

Montenegro is the love of my life ❤

So nice. Good work.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Isn't that drive the best? We did the exact same thing last year and Kotor was easily one of our favourite stops. I'll never forget that epic drive. Those mountains around that ocean bay that looks like a lake is just 👌- Trevor

[@flyingthenest]

Omgosh the drive was STUNNING!!!! Where did you visit in Montenegro??

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We drove from Dubrovnik to Kotor then Budva. Budva was just okay...nothing like Kotor. Then we drove ALLLLL the way back to Split. ha

[@smitamehera7723]

Kotor such a beautiful place and lovely vlog this!

[@JuttaandWolly]

Great video. Nice job

[@JanesLifeBitsandPieces]

[@Florinepn]

Added to my bucket list for sure! 😇

[@flyingthenest]

YESSS it is sooo worth a visit :D

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

[@boboh20]

It is quite a disappointment

[@wetdedstuocm]

[@chloe0033]

They inspire me soooo much 💞

[@flyingthenest]

Ahhh that makes us sooo happy Chloe :) :)

[@kalinakovacevic8550]

Kotor is the most perfect place in Montenegro, I have been going there since I was little (8 months old) and now I am 15 years old, wonderful for a holiday just amazing ... Admittedly, not so much for bathing, but because of that Ljuta,Dobrota and other places are just perfect to swim and enjoy with your family...soo kiss from Serbia💙

[@BigSmallTravel]

Well done! 🇲🇪 Montenegro! We just uploaded a video showcasing Bar, Budva, and Kotor in Montenegro.

[@joanrath126]

Glad you had no issues getting over border of Bosnia..beautiful area.just so sad Bosnia has had hard times for its people... live to see the food,culture an activities...take care.stay safe in your travels.

[@flyingthenest]

Yes so sad and all so recent too :(

[@BigSmallTravel]

Joan, great point about Bosnia. We took a bus from Sarajevo, Bosnia to Montenegro and the change was dramatic. Watch our video on Montenegro on our channel. The Bosnians are strong people.

[@ShahabkhanTS]

You guys are awesome because of you I have seen so much beauty on this world . God bless and hello to mom and dad 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@rrr_001]

Also I really recommend going to Tivat which is the Town right next to kotor

[@leahpanlilio6348]

i love your video i enjoy your trip..thank you for sharing your trip in different countries,i feel like i've been with you too..lovely couple

[@flyingthenest]

Love taking you guys all along with us :)

[@sing759]

i always wanna drive alongside this coastline, and eastern European countries..this is my next destination ..thanks for the loving video 4:08 that is Bay of Kotor

[@diegourbina9483]

Awesome video! (: I’ll be going on a tour and having a day trip through here. Any recommendations on how much spending money to take?

[@trinity1181]

Kotor is amazing, a total surprise

[@flyingthenest]

We were so surprised too! Its beautiful!

[@shymike]

was in Kotor few weeks ago, stunning place.

[@kristoffer_med_k]

What a coincidence, I just got home from Montenegro like, a week ago, and I also visited Kotor!!

[@timtense]

I agree that Motor is totally underrated but during high season the old town was full of people, without cruise ships! Still worth it though!

[@toobydude41]

Ok, yes guys, I completely agree...me thinks Kotor warrants a return visit. Wow. You can't go wrong with that view, day or night. And we can't go wrong with your videos. Ever. Jess you have a natural animal magnetism :) Seems like every place you visit has a surplus of kitties on the streets. I just feel bad for the ones who have no homes. Anyway glad you enjoyed your "dissected" meal :)

[@shanto05]

Hi, we really like your vlog, we have got lots inspirations for our next travel. Could you please also mention the season your are visiting.

[@leadelbois1592]

I did the same trip with my boyfriend, best memories in my life

[@chloe0033]

I love these videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@flyingthenest]

You are so sweet!

[@JamesHDJ]

I think you should have been coming to the Ski Weltcup Opening in Sölden, Austria which is this weekend. Great experience on 3000 meters above sealevel

[@steffiebraganza]

So cool guys, keep it up ! Did you go in October - how was the weather ?

[@mackica777]

First half of October should be fine, second half usually rainy. Kotor has a very wet climate in winter time.
