Kotor
The town is under the protection of UNESCO, and so, all facades have remained unchanged since the town has been build.

Narrow cobbled streets, stone houses, steps leading up to the fortress, give the impression that time stands still in this town. However, a few places in the world offer such an exciting nightlife, with clubs, such as Maximus, as well as numerous cafés, bars and sea food restaurants.
