Soooo Lonely Planet has published their long awaited Must See Places for 2016 and Kotor has been named best city in the world to visit next year. As a Balkan-born-blogger I am obviously overly proud.
The list is assembled by the LP team of travel writers and tourism experts and I honestly don’t get why they made the city a must visit and not the region on the whole. But then again, Lonely Planet has been having an ID crisis for a while now. I mean Kotor is on the cruise ship tour (where the ghosts of travel bloggers go to die) – not quite an undiscovered gem right?
And yes, the city is a) overcrowded, b) way to expensive for the Balkans and c) not a unknown place at all.
But hey … look how freaking photogenic this place is. I need to get cracking on all those Kotor posts (think: where to find the lovely woman that makes the freshest pomegranate juice, some insider tips and a follow-up on my hike adventure – Hike 2 – the Revenge of the Thigh Burn). But for now I just wanted to share some photos. 
Have you been to any of the Must See Places for 2016?
Mooie beelden! Ik lees er verschillende verhalen over, de een wat positiever dan de ander..
It looks like such a beautiful place! Incredible pictures as well 🙂 Lonely Planet also recommends visiting Latvia in 2016, I have been there and can say that it is a beautiful country 🙂

I visited Kotor in 2014 and it was beautiful. The Bay of Kotor is spectacular. I got some lovely photographs from it too here is a link to them on my blog if you would like to check them out http://allthingsnice4life.blogspot.ie/2014/10/a-morning-in-montenegro.html
All things nice…
Never heard about Kotor before but it looks so lovely! With what camera have you taken these pictures (they are stunning! especially the one at night in the alley)?
Have a nice weekend 😉

Totally agree! Kotor and the bay is a very beautiful place as a the region on whole – from Budva to Tara Canyon…
I just recently published on the blog a post dedicated to my trip to Montenegro:)
National Geographic are also touting it for 2016. I had never heard of it until they featured it earlier this year and was instantly hooked. No direct flights from the Uk yet but Dubrovnik is close by! It is on my list!
