Perast

Perast is closed to non-resident cars. You must park at the designated lots at either end of town (North/Risan or South/Kotor side). Parking is roughly €2–€3 per hour or €15 for the day. If you're coming from Kotor, yo ucan take the local "Blue Line" bus. It runs every hour, costs €1.50, and drops you right at the town entrance, saving you the nightmare of parking

For €2.00, you can climb the St. Nicholas Bell Tower (55 meters). The stairs are tight and steep, but the view of the two islands from the top is the definitive "Montenegro shot". Alternatively, take the stairs up towards the Zmajevic Palace for a similar viewpoint (and free)

You can take a boat trip to the island of Our Lady of the Rocks, offering unique photo opportunities and a chance to visit the chapel built on top of it. Small taxi boats run frequently and the round trip costs €10 per person. Access to the church on the island will cost and extra €5. Consider visiting early in the morning as it is one of the highlights of visiting Perast and tends to be highly crowded during the summer period. The neighbor island, St. George, is a private monastery and strictly off-limits to visitors

The Perast Museum is hosted in the Bujović Palace, one of the most beautiful Baroque palaces on the Adriatic. For €5, you can explore naval history and walk onto its famous balcony overlooking the bay

The best time to visit Perast is early morning between 7AM and 9AM or after 6:00 PM. In the middle of the day, the town is swamped by cruise ship bus tours
