Yes, if the weather does not put you off. November in Kotor is Calm on the typical day, and not one of the 30 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 18 °C by day, with rain on about 15 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in Germany. Cruise ships call on 12 of the 30 days, 3 at once on Saturday 7 November. Late November is the month's quietest stretch in Kotor — the typical day at 22%, against 40% in early November. The crush is at the Sea Gate and the main squares; the quiet is at the bay by boat.

The upside of a quiet November
- The big-ticket sights are walk-ins now; the summer booking scramble is gone.

Mild — around 18°C / 64°F, with a light jacket for the evenings, with rain on about 15 days, so keep a layer handy. Daylight is short, about 10 hours, so plan the big sights for the middle of the day.
This is the value month: no need to book far ahead, and the freedom to change plans on the day is part of what you're getting.
