Kotor Serpentine Viewpoint
Kotorske serpentine
The 25 hairpin bends of the old Kotor–Lovćen road; the turns offer views over the entire Bay of Kotor and the Old Town, making this Montenegro's most classic viewpoint.
This P1 road, built during the Austro-Hungarian era, climbs steeply from beside the Old Town of Kotor up the slopes of Mount Lovćen, with about 25 sharp bends and a gain of nearly 1,000 meters. The higher you go, the wider the view. Several bends in the upper section, especially around bends 20 to 25, have roadside parking spots overlooking the Bay of Kotor, the Old Town walls, the Tivat Peninsula and the cruise ships in the harbor. The sunset is especially beautiful from here. It is free and open all day. The road is narrow, only wide enough for one and a half cars, and buses often pass each other in peak season, so drivers should take care. It is usually combined with Njeguši, Lovćen National Park and Cetinje as a day trip, and the viewpoint is about 30 minutes' drive from Kotor.
