Tivat vs Kotor
How to read the comparison chart
The grouped bars score each city 0–100 on cost, climate and safety — taller is better. Tivat leads on any axis where its bar is higher, Kotor where its is. The cost bar uses a higher-is-cheaper scale, so Kotor's taller cost bar reflects its lower cost of living, not a higher price.
| Axis | Tivat | Kotor |
|---|---|---|
| Livability | 77 | 76 |
| Cost (higher=cheaper) | 57 | 58 |
| Climate | 98 | 92 |
| Safety | 78 | 79 |
| Summer °C | 22.2 | 19.7 |
| Winter °C | 5.1 | 2.3 |
| Top disaster risk | earthquake | earthquake |
Tivat vs Kotor: the short answer
Tivat comes out ahead on overall livability (77/100), only marginally above Kotor (76/100). The two cities diverge most on climate. On affordability Kotor is the cheaper base — nearly identical prices on our cost index (Tivat 57 vs Kotor 58, where a higher score means a lower cost of living, normalised from World Bank price levels). For climate, Tivat runs warmer in summer (about 22.2°C peak vs 19.7°C in Kotor), while winter lows sit near 5.1°C in Tivat and 2.3°C in Kotor. On natural-disaster exposure Kotor is the safer choice (safety 79/100); the dominant modelled hazard is earthquake for Tivat and earthquake for Kotor.
Which city should you choose?
- On a tight budget → Kotor — lower everyday costs..
- You want warmth → Tivat — hotter summers.
- Safety is the priority → Kotor — lower disaster risk.
- Best all-rounder → Tivat — highest overall livability.
Data & methodology
Cost scores are normalised from World Bank price-level data. Climate figures (summer highs, winter lows) are drawn from 1991–2020 climate normals. Disaster-safety blends USGS earthquake history (magnitude 4.5+ within 300 km since 1980), tropical-cyclone basin position, flood/elevation exposure and Köppen climate zone. The livability score is the weighted composite of cost, climate and safety. All figures are planning indicators for 2026, not guarantees — verify specifics before relocating.
