Kotor in November
Good time to visit
November marks the transition to Kotor's quiet season with cooler weather and closing businesses. Good for budget travelers who don't mind limited options and frequent rain.
Weather
November brings autumn's return with cooler temperatures and increasing rainfall. Expect about 10 wet days, often prolonged drizzle rather than brief showers. The bay water drops to 17°C - too cold for most swimming. Daylight shrinks to just 6-7 hours.

All Months
May through October gives you the best weather, but timing matters. July and August bring cruise ship crowds that can triple the old town's population in a single morning. Temperatures hit 30°C, and finding a restaurant table after 7 PM becomes a challenge.
Shoulder seasons work better. May and September offer warm days (around 25°C) with fewer crowds and lower prices. Hotels drop rates by 30-40%, and you can actually enjoy those Instagram-famous spots without fighting for photo space.
October surprises people — still warm enough for swimming, autumn light makes the bay look magical, and restaurant terraces stay busy until late evening. Winter closes many hotels and restaurants, but if you don't mind limited options, January temperatures rarely drop below 10°C and the mountains sometimes get snow caps that look incredible against the blue water.
