Gabriel Traveler we love Montenegro and kotor thank you
I have been to Kotor in Montenegro on holiday 😀 hey it’s nice 👍 I went with my my Mummy, Daddy and My brother
LOOKS AMAZING!
I visited Kotor a few days after Gabe did. Other than the stunning scenes, what really amazed me was the sheer number of cats that stroll freely around the streets, and which are also super friendly! We had cats who literally followed us around wanting to be cuddled :) so definitely visit Kotor if you're a cat person!
Nice. I spent some time here a few years back, found it to be like a chilled out Dubrovnik. I also remember all those steps up the mountain haha.
Kotor..the most beatiful town in Montenegro. Montenegro in my❤
Kotor is an absolute gem in Montenegro. My family is from Montenegro, and I was born their, Kotor is my favorite place to visit when I go back on vacation. Walking through the Stari Grad (old city) is like walking through a time capsule. Its venetian architecture, old classic styles churches, its nestled right in between two large mountains, the bay is absolutely majestic. Its a really special place to be, and I highly recommend visiting Kotor if you happen to be visiting montenegro.
Real Eyes Why dont you live in your own country?
@@cphghost8950
You are very rude and unpolite person!!!
@LB Stih how come? I mean its a simple question, if montenegro is such a great place, then why dont you live there?
@my name So which western country do you live in buddy
@my name good to know mate. I thought you where one of those slavics who are running from poverty in Montenegro. Keep working to make Montenegro a great place and work to move the corruption in the government, that is what the people of Montenegro should be doing.
I was in Kotor last summer...Very beautiful!!!...It looks like a small Dubrovnik
Yes, you are right, last summer i was in kotor and budva, really beautiful small
I have small Dubrovnik
It is becouse they mostly shared their history together (Ragusa, Dalmatia)
Wow they made that Star Wars game into a real thing
finally a KotOR comment
Thank you Kotor, and the people of Montenegro for a beautiful holiday!
Montenegro is Amazing..I've been there and it's worth visiting,
clean, affordable, and modern.
Knights Of The Old Republic? 😛
Never heard of the place, thanks for sharing, dude!
Haha, exactly what I thought when I saw this video. Now if I could only play KOTOR in Kotor.
LuDi Gamer Lmfaooo
Fantastican video o Crnoj Gori ..specijal mjesto na planeti..! Hvala na postavci im pozdrav iz Kanade! :-)
Kotor is Montenegro 😍❤❤❤❤❤ ever and forever
No shit kotor is in Montenegro i dont know what ur trying to say but whatever
Look people, this is one of the most beautiful cities of Montenegro. I study here you have a lot of things to see and it is cheap as well. Everybody who came in this town were amazed. You won’t regret it. I work in old town hope meet one of you who will come!
Hi! I'm traveling to kotor un november, i have read is very cold and rainy, can you tell me how the weather is and if its worthy to visit in that season? How many hours of daylight do you have in november? Thanks
Irma Kuč my family and I are Going next year , September 2019 hope to see you :)
Why do montenegrins treat dogs and cats so badly, you truly are a backward bunch of shits aborent human behaviour
How do they treat them badly ? We probably treat them better than you westerners treat humans
I was in Kotor last month, very beautiful place. It 's definitly worth visiting.
Man, I love your work, it's great to have all the necessary advices needed for traveling, especially if you are coming from Montenegro, like I do. Of course Kotor is worth visiting, it's not like it doesn't have so much history, stunning beauty and very (to say the least) interesting locals. Maybe because I am local I have that bias approach, but Kotor was and always will be one of my favorite places, especially if you go after a night out in the night club in the old town, and sit and chill on the sea shore, overlooking steep mountains with a lovely sunset. You should visit Njeguši, Cetinje, Skadar lake, Ada Bojana and many more places. We have one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but we don't respect and appreciate it as much as we should!
Greetings from Bar!
tako je valee
Was on a bus tour through there last year. Great city and great country to visit. Will definitely go back there. Loved it.
Loved this place. It looks awesome in the winter as well, the mountains get snow on them.
Stunning!
it was worth visiting.Montenegro is small bat wrili preatty.It's were i live and that tawn is koled Stari Grad.Anddd it has a lot ov mountains.
I visited Kotor on a day tour from Dubrovnik 2 months ago. I saved my old knees from the climb so glad to watch you climb up there instead. Tourism has taken over in Kotor so best to go in the off season when no cruise ship crowds.

What an amazing view and beautiful area.
Love Montenegro
Beautiful city and interesting hike...many thanks....
that lunch looked awesome!
I was concidering going to Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor and then Mostar in July. But after seeing your vlogs and the amount of tourists, I think I will do that trip in off season....
Yay! Seems like an asome place to a little escape
Beautiful.
I appreciate the high quality video. Thanks man.
Thanks James.
I am in Kotor now. This place is amazing! I’m doing that hike tomorrow.
Awesome, have fun!
Haha, nice to see that "Norwegian Star" ship at 2:20 in action after all of these years. I was a small sprocket building it back in the year 2000.
Really, the exact same boat?
Oh yes, thanks for bringing back the memories :-)
Wow, that is wild.
@Google User No, it was all in Papenburg, Germany, but a part of the interior design was implemented by a Finnish work group.
wow im gonna have to check this place out!
Alright, alright, alright 👍💙beautiful Montenegro🤩 thank you Gabe for an amazing video, greetings from🇨🇦🙋♀️
Beautiful scene...great video. :)
from 2001 to 2012 because of the job i have working on a cruise ship. I get to visit this place 3x a year in summer. This is one of my favorite country in Adriatic sea. You should have tried the pizza inside the old town they sell only pizza and it so good for 2 euro or less. If your saving cash try their burger at the small stall outside it is also big and worth it. the water is always clear and safe to swim in much like every part of Croatia my first favorite place along the Adriatic sea.
Vin Sio
What cruise line, Im Going next year
Keep up the good work Gabriel
5:33 they are playing MMakedonsko devojce, a Macedonian old song :D Lovely place, especially for a romantic weekend with a girlfriend :D
FABULOUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lovely town. exciting climb uphill
look at the hill so beautiful iam visiting Kotor once a week with cruise line i was work in there:)
I'm off to croatia in 2 weeks . think Montenegro will be next place to visit , or throw it into my croatia visit as a day trip as have car hire . Great video
Wow, how freaking cool was that?
Lol getting tireder - you imaging those poor ***** 's who built all that stone work!
Great video again
going there next week! :D CANT WAIT
Is beautiful ?
Was there last month, entrance to fortress is 8 euro now, but there is a back way you can go for free.
Thanks to your great videos of Dubrovnic and Montenegro I have already decided, where to spend my 2018 summer vacation. Very interesting and worth seeing ! (all of your videos of course..). Thanks (or as we say in swiss german: Merci villmal !)
Awesome. If you go to Croatia make sure to go to some of the less touristy places. Dubrovnik was beautiful but I liked all the other places I went in Croatia more. I need to go back there, I heard about a lot of cool places that I didn't get the chance to visit.
I will most probably book a flight from Zurich to Dubrovnik and then rent a car. So I will be more flexibel and can decide (more or less) from day to day. Kotor for sure is 200% on my list. Thanks again for your inspiration ;-)
Thanks for visiting my country :)
I will next year too is looks amazing
Hi from Kotor!
That's a long way up in them flip-flops!!...lol
3:01 indeed an idea for a boat for the summer.
Pardon me this time Gabriel but please show us some more of local musicians, specially when playing traditional instruments (I´d be keen on even interview them myself)
9:00 Great spot for a Giallo film!
Thanks again for sharing
You hiked with flipflops!!
Your editing is gettin' good!
I’m really glad that you made a vlog about my home city! I was watching this video while wondering how many times I walked through those alleys... You didn’t really say anything about locals.. so what do you think about them? Amazing video, thank you!
ツAndrew Locals? Lacmani, nista roba...
This looks like a good stop over for a day or so.
I only put my wife's phone on international when I went to kotor. I lost my group and had to find my way with a map because my phone was useless. Never found my group in kotor, but definitely saw some cool stuff. There was a lady singing rather angelically outside the oldest church. It was a diaphanous experience.
Too bad Kotor is so inundated with tourists. That cruise ship really overwhelms the lovely harbor.
Cynthia Carlson it was in the BBC news today how Cruise ships are destroying towns along the Adriatic with mass tourism.
They might "destroy" them, but bring in needed valuta as well, to keep everything running. I rented a place in kotor on the coast line, and i remember the sound of those cruise ships coming in and i found it very impressive, still.
kotor means dirty in the malay language..LOL
chav
tʃav/
noun BRITISH informal derogatory
a young lower-class person typified by brash and loutish behaviour.
I know exactly what chav means..that was why i chose this name.
Love the channel! Very well done and provides real information normal people can actually use while traveling, plus an awesome log of your amazing adventures! How long did it take to get to the top?
Thanks. I think it took around an hour to hike up there.
I'm on vacation and I'm super jealous of you right now.
Where are you?
Gabriel Traveler I'm in Medellin at the moment but heading to Cartagena in about an hour. I can't get enough of this video Gab you did a fantastic job making me wish I were in Montenegro.
if you need new sandals i recommend go for the best hiking sandals . named : source stream
great
nice
Avoid the steps to the castle if you don't want to pay to see it. You can hike from the river in Kotor on the left side (it takes about 2 hours) to the castle for free.
I think that manaan was the best part👍
Hi Gabriel I like your videos a lot, have you ever been to Serbia? You answered a question of mine before about Vientiane Laos you were right it was very safe. Thank you sir
I haven't been to Serbia yet, I was nearby in Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro. Glad you enjoyed Laos.
Kotor could be a town of the kingdom of Gondor in middle-earth,especially in the medieval times
I am From montenegro! From Kotor :D
Wow Gabe, 400,00!! Congratulations!! We have watched you from very early on and have loved you no bullshit approach. Can’t wait to travel again, Australians sleep are not allowed to leave our country at the moment. Hope to meet you one day :)
Thanks Daniel, yeah pretty amazing. Hang in there with everything.
First! Awesome videos my friend!!!
Cool, thanks a lot.
Gabriel Traveler Your videos are awesome! The content tells a story every time. Simple and to the point! Started watching a few months back now I watch your vlogs everyday! Your Goa beach videos looked awesome!
I say it's worth visiting.
I agree.
Your videos are helping me! next week I will start my trip to the Balkans
could you tell me if there are solo girls going hitchhiking? thank you
I met a girl who was hitchhiking today actually, although she was with a guy. I would say yes, there certainly are solo girls hitchhiking. A few come to mind that I've met in the past year, but it's definitely not common. Hitchhiking isn't all that common in general, and more often it's men or a man and woman. Where are you going in the Balkans?
Gabriel Traveler oh thank you! well well I'll star my journey in Bulgaria then Turkey, Greece, Albania , Montenegro, Croatia , Bosnia, Serbia and Hungary
Sweet, sounds amazing. They're all great countries, only ones I haven't been to yet are Bulgaria and Serbia. Trying to make up my mind whether to go to Macedonia and Bulgaria next. I'm in Albania. Definitely go to Berat in Albania, it was really nice. I'm now in Dhermi, haven't seen much of it yet but I think it will be pretty nice. Looking forward to seeing the beach in the morning. I just passed through Tirana but was glad I was passing through, it didn't look that interesting, though I'm sure there's some thing to see. Have you ever hitchhiked before?
Gabriel Traveler I agree about Berat,its beautiful old city.You should visit Gjirokastra in Albania.City under Unesco protection,Butrint (Unesco)Southern Albania.Tirana is relatively a new city but saying its not interesting i do not agree with you mate.AnJoy your time in Albania though
Looks like the Norwegian Star I have a video of the Norwegian Gem leaving the Port of Saint John on my channel.
Have you ever walked the Kings walkway in elchore Spain it's since bin refurbished but still a great walk
Nope, I haven't heard about that one.
Beautiful video of a beautiful place, but you seem to be getting tired. Is Willits on the horizon?
Yeah I'm thinking of heading back to the States pretty soon. I have an epic plan in mind though, will keep it a secret but I wouldn't stay in California long. Just pop in and change out the gear, then fly somewhere else.
What camera did you use? Great quality. I'm heading there next summer. Can't wait!
I sure am liking your video's. My Thing is Old Towns! I'm Pinning to Pinterest hoping to get some views. I'm finding that a lot of People like Old.
Interesting stuff, Gabe - Never heard of Kotor - and Montenegro in general is very uncovered by travelers, so keep em coming....:-)
Real Space Hobo I’m glad more people are learning about our country . We’re a small country full of history and compassion . Here’s a little more on Montenegro th-cam.com/video/uBjUOtlnm5Y/w-d-xo.html .
I developed plantar fiscitis the last 6 months been hell some mornings, I would really like to walk up those stairs I hope my feet can function for the hard trek ;>) Love me some ruins! Trying to enter Montenegro tomorrow, was told no covid test needed by a few locals. Let's hope that is true if not will have to return to Albania test and go back. Really excited for some new treks. Cheers!
Right on, I hope it goes smooth, let me know if you get in. I'm considering various places to go sometime soon, seems like more options are opening up.
I live in Kotor
Cool I have pln to visit this April I m from France
Atina Kazanegra folloow me in instagram Ali bwo
Been there on R&R during the war in the nineties, fell in love with the country immediately.. so beautiful , almost bought a house in harbor of Rose for 15000 DM, i s
till regret every single day i didn't
Bro, now you would get a serious amount of money for it.
Definitely visit kotor. It's uhmayzin.
Of course it's busy, it's summer season it's quite common knowledge that the cruise ships invade Kotor in summer.
Did you walk back down the way you came or the way? with the winding road down plus plenty of sheep (one of which I saw chasing and head butting an Asian tourist when I was there haha.)
I walked down the same way. Now that you mention it, I remember another path going down to the right, but I wasn't sure if it would get me back to the old town or not.
It would, but on north side of the city :)
I got lost in this city
Kotor is Königsberg in the south, the people who built it now have almost disappeared from it. Very sad.
Hello Gabriel!
Howdy!
Hello!
❤
IM IN THIS VID WITH MY FRIENDS
When?
Touristic site country
In the Europe?? And beautiful landscape..
Love your vids Gabriel , quick question , I’m going on a cruise next year ( same cruise line you show here) where is the entrance to the walls? To the left of right coming out of the cruise ship ? And how far ? Thank you
You can go both to the right (through the main town gate, and then through the town itself), or to the left (along the river, and enter through the north gate). I the trail starts uphill behind this church:
goo.gl/maps/fjvstjaiUmS2
P.S. Choose some footwear that's a bit more comfortable than Gabriel's, like sports/hiking shoes or sturdy sandals. Have fun! :)
For the people that climbed Kotor wall; how long it takes aprox to reach the top from the old city, please? Thanks in advance!
Love it from serbia
did you visit town Osijek in Croatia? kopacki rit, lipicanere..
Hahaha Comparing Split with Kotor... Must be some butthurt croatians here. Tell me, do you see montenegrins promoting Kotor on sites about Split? At least you got something in common with serbs, thats the first one :D
Have you been to Split Croatia?? That's where I come from🖐️🇭🇷♥️
Yes: th-cam.com/users/gabejedmosearch?query=Split+Croatia
How to trek a treacherous Medieval village unprepared. Kinda a 20's thing. "Stepped on a pop top, blew out a pop top". Then didn't replace it. I will say... This millennial is losing his smart phone, not seeing the world through a false virtual reality technology skewed lens. Hats off to you world traveler! Experiencing life as real as it gets. Never lose your thirst for true adventure.
With which bus company you went to Montenegro from Dubrovnik? When I was checking it some months ago there weren't any busses going from Dubrovnik to Montenegro. I also have already been to Montenegro and drove by car from Dubrovnik Airport to MOnenegro and the traffic at the border was crazy.
I don't remember the name of the bus company. I bought the ticket at the bus station in Dubrovnik. But it was a direct bus to Kotor. And yes the traffic at the border was crazy.
are u using sunblock ?
just a fun trivia..Kotor means dirty in the malay language. :)
that camera is great :)
That's good to hear. It's essentially my only camera now. I don't like the Canon that I bought before I started this trip, and my GoPro mysteriously died.
quality is nice on the daylight, wide angle is good for paning and handheld as its not shakey as other narrow cameras can be, and it also emerges you more into the place. maybe you can do a bit of B roll with some zoom camera and just for the sake of it but this is really good
Yeah it doesn't do so good in low lighting but is very crisp in the strong sunlight. I definitely need to get a better camera now though that does everything well. The Iconntechs camera doesn't zoom, looks crappy at night and I feel overall looks a bit flat, doesn't fully capture things with enough depth. But especially for the price it's a great camera. And it's really tiny so it's good for filming discretely.
:-) If i may add your videos are priceless Gabriel .
You you have places like this in USA ?
Beautiful ..the mind boggles how the ancient people built these things , you look at the pre fab weak concrete condos nowdays that last just a few years compared to carved stone they hauled uphill on donkeys millenia ago and think thats real construction ..built to last. What a view.
