Know more about your day trip

Yes, and it is one of the highlights of Perast. Short boat trips to this artificial island depart regularly from the Perast waterfront and do not need to be pre-booked. The island is home to a beautiful Roman Catholic church with centuries of votive offerings from local sailors, making it a remarkable and unusual sight.
Yes, Montenegro is an independent country, and you will need a valid passport at the border crossing. EU nationals may use a national identity card. U.S. and UK citizens do not need a visa. Be sure your travel documents are accessible as border checks are standard on this route.
Kotor is about 57 miles (92 km) from Dubrovnik, taking roughly 1 hour 55 minutes in normal driving conditions. The route passes through the border crossing into Montenegro and follows the scenic Adriatic Highway before winding around the Bay of Kotor.
This route covers two of Montenegro's most celebrated coastal destinations in a single day, making it an excellent introduction to the country. Kotor offers history and architecture, while Perast adds a quieter, more intimate coastal experience. Together they give a well-rounded sense of the Bay of Kotor's character.
Kotor's pedestrian Old Town is a UNESCO-listed medieval city packed with Venetian architecture, historic churches, and atmospheric squares. You can walk a section of the ancient city walls, visit the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, and climb toward Kampana Tower for impressive panoramic views over the bay.
Perast is a tiny baroque village on the shores of the Bay of Kotor, known for its elegant palazzos, waterfront cafes, and two small islands just offshore. It contrasts beautifully with the busier energy of Kotor. The village is small enough to walk end to end in about 20 minutes, making it an ideal relaxed stop after exploring Kotor's Old Town.
Late spring and early autumn, roughly May, June, September, and October, are ideal. The weather is warm and sunny, crowds are more manageable than in peak July and August, and the light is particularly beautiful for photographing the bay. Summer is still a wonderful time to visit, but expect more visitors in Kotor's Old Town.
The itinerary visits Kotor first, giving you around 3 hours to explore the walled Old Town, then continues to Perast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Perast is located along the bay road between Kotor and Herceg Novi, making for a natural and scenic stop on the return route toward Dubrovnik.
