Whether on the water cruising Boka Bay, walking along the promenades on the waters edge, or, driving up the Horseshoe bends heading to Mt Lovcen every view is breathtaking. It is worthwhile covering all the angles if time permits as the memories & photos will live with you forever. Truly a magnificent city in a unique & 'hidden gem' of a country ( Montenegro ). When I think back that this was just tacked on as a side trip to our Croatian tour - with a ??? really? response - Kotor & Mt Lovcen were highlights of our 5 weeks awy in the Adriatic.

We travelled from the Cetinje end of the road having visited the mausoleum in Lovcen National Park. Not sure that previous reviews have stressed enough the impact of the roadworks on quite a long stretch of the road - 10km or so, we would guess. So, the views are absolutely fantastic, the hairpins are ok even if you do meet cars coming the other way, but if you do have a hire car, be prepared to drive very slowly and manoeuvre your path across the smallest of the ruts in the road. There isn't a proper tarmac surface at all for pretty much all of that distance, and we scraped the bottom of the car on several occasions in between queuing along with other cars waiting for lorries to be loaded with rubble by JCBs to clear the way. My view is that you shouldn't let this put you off - we made it, after all. You can see from the pictures posted how amazing the views are as well. I'm speaking as the driver of the car, however. When my wife and I discussed whether we'd do it again knowing what the road was like, I said yes, she said no ! By the way, the Mausoleum in Lovcen was well worth a visit and you get to see some great views of practically the whole of Montenegro, especially if you pay the €3 to get to the Mausoleum itself and walk up to the viewing point.

This lovely and wide open square translated as Town Square is the first site that greets you as you walk through the gate into the Old Town. The Squares main feature is the Clock Tower, which speaks for itself and would I am sure make a great meeting place. I always travel alone so have no need for that. The Square though nevertheless makes a great place from which to get your bearings. The Old Town is pretty compact and it is difficult to get lost in here - small streets branch off from this main square in all directions. It is lined with the usual array of tourist shops with a few banks and some wonderful cafes serving delightful iced coffee sundaes. Perfect for relaxing on a warm early summers day.

Known as the “Bishopric”, this palace is recognisable by its octagonal belfry and the magnificent external staircase. This edifice belonged to the famous Zmajevic family and is one of the symbols of the town of Perast. The palace complex also contains a family chapel dedicated to the Lady of the Rosary.

Kotor is said to be one of very few survived Medieval towns untouched by wars. It is squezed between the sea and the mountain and is all contained within the town walls streaching up the steep hill. It looks like the Great Chinese Wall with a town inside and belongs to UNESCO heritage list. This Old Town contains everything history lover can imagine: old houses, narrow streets, small squares, and yards, catholic and orthodox churches dating back to 9th and 11th centuries, lapidarium, town hall clock etc. And something one can't escape in such places: souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and craft shops, but also hostels, travel offices and museums and art exhibitions. But what is most exciting: you can climb along the city walls up to the castle on the top! The really unforgettable experience! I'd advice to take decent shoes as the steps are slippery and the route is quite exhausting. But the feeling and the view to the Kotor Bay - exceptional!!!

8. St. Anthony's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
This edifice was erected by members of the Mazarovic family. The church was constructed along with a monastery for Venetian Franciscans who came to Perast at the invitation of the inhabitants in order to open a school for primary and nautical education. The rich library once housed in the monastery was relocated to the Franciscan Library of Kotor.
9. Smekja Palace

This beautiful edifice, once the property of the famous seafarer family Smekja whose coat-of-arms is situated in the entrance to the Palace, is also the largest palace in Perast. It is located right next to the Church of St. Mark. Its construction began in the 17th century while the newer section of the palace was completed in the 1930s.

Smekja Palace is owned by the old Smekja family, who were maritime traders who made their money during the venetian rule of the Bay of Kotor. The views of the palace are just simple indescribable. The palace has one of the best views of the fjord too, and it is definitely a sight to remember. Cost us nothing to see this, best views are from further up the road in Perast.
