A cold slip of sea air follows the guide through the stone gate as the group steps into Kotor’s compact old town. Cobblestones click underfoot and church bells mark the pace while narrow streets funnel toward the harbour; within an hour the medieval grid yields to open views, and the bus hums away toward the cable car base. In eleven minutes the cable car rises, the bay broadening beneath you like a map being unfolded — islands, peninsulas, and red-tiled roofs recede as the lift climbs toward the high ridge.
