KOTOR – centuries young town on the map of the rainbow cities
Kotor in Montenegro stands up for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community
A UNESCO-protected small town with a rich history and cultural heritage, Kotor is an attractive destination with a lot to offer.
The name itself, in the Greek variant Decaterum, appears in records from the 7th century and has since been known as a city of multi-harmony, openness and acceptance of differences in all matters.
In 2014, the Municipality of Kotor was the first municipality in Montenegro to sign a cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights to improve the status and rights of LGBTQIA+ persons. Since 2020, it has been a proud member of the Rainbow Cities Network, a global network for LGBTQIA+ equality.
