Bay of Kotor
Kotor Serpentine, the Ladder of Cattaro runs Kotor to Njegusi in Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. The road is at its best before the first coaches arrive, so staying within a few minutes of the start is worth more than a smarter hotel an hour away. Check the season before you book. Ice on the upper hairpins in winter.
