With a population of just 1,401, Kotor is a quaint medieval town nestled in Montenegro's coastal region, but don't let its picturesque charm fool you. The fortified city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting over 250,000 tourists annually - a figure that can create a persistent bureaucratic headache for locals. Despite centuries of Venetian, Habsburg, and French rule, the city remains predominantly Orthodox Christian, with only 12% identifying as Roman Catholic. For those drawn to Kotor's natural beauty and historical allure, be prepared to navigate its complex history and tourist-driven economy.
