Suggested one-day plan
Leave Dubrovnik by organized tour or road transfer and allow generous time for the international border.
Walk Perast’s waterfront and view its churches and Baroque palaces.
Take a local boat to Our Lady of the Rocks if operating, then return for time beside the bay.
Begin the return journey early enough for variable traffic and border controls.
Perast is in Montenegro and requires an international border crossing. Organized tours and road transfers are practical, but journey times can vary significantly with traffic and border queues. Our Lady of the Rocks is offshore and requires a separate local boat trip.
A long full day (9–12 hours), especially when combined with another Bay of Kotor stop.
- Carry appropriate travel documents and check current entry or visa requirements for your nationality.
- Allow additional time for border controls.
- Drivers should verify rental-car permission, insurance and cross-border documentation.
- Check local boat availability and weather before planning Our Lady of the Rocks.
- The waterfront is compact, but boats may not provide step-free access.
