What you'll see and do
Kotor Serpentine
We start from Kotor and climb on the old road from the time of the Kingdom of Montenegro. It is a road that calls for adventure, and the story of that road hides the legend of one love. Referred to as the ‘serpentine road’, the road has 25 switchbacks and gives you incredible views of the Bay of Kotor. Namely, on the part of the road from Kotor to Trojica, there is an M-shaped moat. According to the story, the young engineer Josip Slade-Šilović had the task of designing a modern road for cars from Kotor to Cetinje after the Berlin Congress in 1878. This designer from Trogir was later a palace builder, and with the letter M he allegedly showed his secret love for the Montenegrin princess Milena. The Montenegrin writer Jovan J. Martinović also passed on the joke of the people of Cetinje, which was created at the expense of this letter M. "And imagine if he accidentally fell in love with Princess Olga, this journey wouldn't end without a fiddle.

Njegusi
After driving for an hour, we arrive in NjegušeIn the village of Njeguši, which is located between Kotor and Lovćen National Park, we will discover authentic Montenegrin culture and cuisine. You can try and buy local products such as prosciutto, cheese, wine and another. This village was once a historical power of old Montenegro. The country was ruled by a bishop, prince bishop and serdar, who was responsible for defense. Both positions were passed down the family lines in the clans based in Njeguši, which made Njeguši an important place. The most famous Njegušan is Petar II Petrović Njegoš, who was the Montenegrin bishop from 1830 to 1851. Njegoš, as he is known, was born in the only two-story house in Njeguši, and the house is now a museum. The house and furniture show the way a typical Montenegrin family of the upper class lived in the 19th century.

Title: Beautiful view, but poor queue & shuttle management
We took the cable car down from Lovćen National Park side on 25 July 2026, around 17:30. The view from the top is absolutely stunning — no complaint there. However, the experience going down was frustrating: 1. Queue jumping: We waited in line for over an hour. Near the front, four people in this picture pushed in ahead of our group and laughed about it. No staff intervened. We have a photo (faces blurred). 2. Shuttle bus delayed departure: The shuttle bus to Kotor Old Town was already at its scheduled departure time, but the driver kept waiting for more passengers. It only left when the bus was completely packed — very uncomfortable and not on time. Tip for future visitors: be prepared for long queues, stand your ground if someone tries to cut in, and don't rely on the shuttle departing on schedule — consider walking or taking a taxi if you're in a hurry. The ride itself is great, but the ground operations need improvement. — Visited 25 July 2026

Out of this world. The ride on the cable car was smooth and comfortable. The view looking down on Kotor was terrific. Staff thoroughly charming and very helpful

Kotor - worth a trip!
Kotor is a beautiful old town with lots of flair and history and, above all, good food. Unfortunately, Kotor is also visited by many cruise ship tourists. But if you stay for several days, you have the opportunity to experience people differently in the evenings and mornings. And if you like cats, this is the place for you! We had a lot of fun! We also really enjoyed trips to the nearby national park (with cable car) and to the mausoleum.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your rating and comment, we would like it if you would rate us and not your experience of Montenegro, because here you are rating our services, so we hope that you were satisfied with our tour and that you will visit us again.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car) cost?
+
Prices start at $284 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kotor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car) take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kotor is not rushed.
Is Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car)?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kotor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kotor and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ride the Kotor Cable Car ( Njegusi, Lovcen and Kotor Cable car) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kotor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kotor?
+
On Outty we rank every Kotor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kotor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kotor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
