Kotor Christmas Market

At Christmas, the medieval streets and picturesque squares of Kotor’s Old Town become a peaceful winter wonderland, beautifully adorned with festive decorations. One of the highlights is undoubtedly the warm curtain lights that gently embrace the ancient city walls of Kotor Fortress.

Christmas lights are everywhere you look – hanging from the palazzi’s balconies, and even in the palm and magnolia trees in front of the main Sea Gate. In Montenegro, there is probably no better place to enjoy the festive spirit than here, with all these beautiful gifts, warming food, and drink stalls.

UNESCO-listed Kotor is of exceptional beauty during all seasons but glammed up for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it is an opportunity to get to see this charming coastal town in an entirely new light. The Kotor Christmas Market is open to the public from December 1st until January 8th, promising an unmissable experience for the whole family.

Discover Kotor’s unique twist on Europe’s rich Christmas market tradition, with countless concerts, artistic performances, and children’s workshops. The last day is traditionally reserved for the Papalada Ala Maka, a gastronomic event where you can try local specialties rarely found on restaurant menus.
