A local would say...

Medieval walls climb straight up a cliff to a fortress 260 metres above the fjord — follow them.

A remarkably intact medieval walled city at the head of Europe's southernmost fjord, where Venetian-era streets and churches are enclosed by vast serpentine walls climbing 260 metres up the cliff above the town. The Bay of Kotor is dramatic from any angle — ringed by mountains that plunge directly into the deep blue water — and the city walls offer one of the most strenuous but rewarding climbs in the Adriatic. Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
