Kriva ulica belongs to the everyday Kotor that most visitors walk straight through: a residential quarter of small shops, cars parked under fig trees and stone stairs between houses, a short walk from the medieval walls. Nobody here needs to solve the parking problem twice a day, and the whole of the old core is reachable on foot in minutes, which changes how you use the town. You can go back at midday for the shade and return in the evening when the streets refill.
The old town rewards slow, aimless wandering more than a checklist. Almost four centuries of Venetian rule left carved doorways, winged lions and family coats of arms on buildings that are still lived in. The Cathedral of Saint Tryphon has stood since 1166 and survived the earthquakes that levelled much around it; the smaller church of Saint Luke, from 1195, kept both a Catholic and an Orthodox altar for centuries. In the Grgurina palace, the Maritime Museum sets out how a town this size built one of the Adriatic's serious merchant fleets. Between them, the alleys open without warning onto squares barely bigger than a room.
