You Must Spend A Night In Perast When Travelling In Montenegro

Perast is one of the favorite location in Montenegro. Like Kotor, it's a historic Venetian harbor situated between a cove and a cliff. Beautiful Baroque palaces (there are 18 in total), public squares, and churches with crumbling bell towers occupy every inch of the compact town. The intriguing tale and unique chapel of Our Lady of the Rocks, one of two tiny islands just off the shore, are a must-see.

Perast is enthralling because of its history, culture, and legend. Not to mention the stunning seafront, which is everything a Montenegrin dream is made of.

What's the best part? Perast's port is too shallow for cruise ships to dock, so the town takes on a completely different vibe once the day trip tourists have left. Perast at sunset, especially in the shoulder season, is a different type of magical. You can stay in a guesthouse here for a few of nights and spend your evenings strolling along the waterfront.
