Kotor Old Town & Perast – A Journey Through Time

Few places in Europe capture the magic of history and natural beauty like Kotor and Perast, jewels of Montenegro’s Adriatic coast. The tour begins in Kotor Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like stepping into a living museum. Within its massive Venetian walls, you’ll discover a maze of cobblestone alleys, charming piazzas, and centuries-old churches, each telling a story of merchants, sailors, and empires that once ruled the Adriatic.
