Kotor, Montenegro
Kotor's cathedral is ticketed, cheaply, and the ticket includes the reliquary chapel on the upper floor, which is the part worth the money. It sits on its own square inside the walled town, a few minutes from the sea gate, and no booking is needed. Walking tours of the old town include it along with the maritime museum, the Orthodox church on the main square and the lanes that make up the rest of the medieval plan;
Kotor, Montenegro
Dajbabe Monastery stands on a hill on the southern outskirts of Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, about five kilometres from the city centre, and entry is free, with donations welcome. It is one of the most unusual monasteries in the Balkans, built inside a natural cave. Visitors reach it by taxi or car from Podgorica, as public transport is limited. It is often combined with a tour of Podgorica, the Ostrog Monastery, the most famous monastery in Montenegro, about an hour away, or Lake Skadar.
