The Best of Montenegro from Dubrovnik
Discover Kotor, Perast and the island of Our Lady of the Rocks in a single unforgettable day.
This Montenegro day tour from Dubrovnik takes you across the border and into one of the Adriatic's most rewarding coastal landscapes. Over ten hours, you'll visit a baroque island church, walk the streets of a UNESCO-listed medieval town, and have time to explore at your own pace.
The journey begins in Perast, a quiet Baroque town perched along the Bay of Kotor. From the waterfront, a short boat ride brings you to the tiny island of Our Lady of the Rocks, home to a church decorated with 68 frescos attributed to the baroque master Tripo Kokolja.
From Perast, the tour continues to Kotor, where a guided walk reveals the full depth of this fortified medieval town. The old town is entirely encircled by ancient walls, and its narrow lanes open onto squares lined with Romanesque and Gothic monuments.
Free time in Kotor gives you the flexibility to visit St Tryphon Cathedral, widely regarded as a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, or to step inside the Maritime Museum and trace the city's seafaring history. Those who prefer a slower pace can simply sit in the main square with a drink and take in the atmosphere.

Itinerary
The tour departs from Dubrovnik and heads north toward the Montenegrin border. The drive along the coastal road offers views of the Adriatic before crossing into the Bay of Kotor.
You arrive in the small Baroque town of Perast, set along the calm inner bay. A brief stop here introduces you to the town's elegantly weathered palaces and its waterfront promenade.
A short boat ride takes you to the man-made island of Our Lady of the Rocks. Inside the church, you'll see the 68 frescos painted by baroque master Tripo Kokolja, along with votive offerings left by sailors over the centuries.
The group moves on to Kotor, where a guided walk covers the highlights of this UNESCO-listed fortified town. The tour takes in the city gates, medieval squares, and the layers of Venetian, Byzantine and Romanesque influence visible throughout.
After the guided portion, you'll have free time to explore independently. Options include visiting St Tryphon Cathedral, the Maritime Museum, or simply relaxing in one of the town's open squares.
The group reassembles and begins the return journey to Dubrovnik, arriving back in the evening after a full day in Montenegro.
