Taking full advantage of your vacation in Dubrovnik means visiting Montenegro as well! Skipping long border lines and making a whole day boat trip to Kotor is a day well spent. Your attentive crew ensures every detail is handled as you relax on the sun deck, sip a refreshing drink, and enjoy the scenic cruise toward Montenegro. As you approach the Bay of Kotor, you’ll be captivated by one of the Adriatic’s most stunning sights—a fjord-like landscape where steep, forested mountains frame the bay’s deep blue waters, leading to the UNESCO-listed town of Kotor. Upon arrival, you’ll step into the heart of Kotor’s Old Town, where cobbled streets, historic squares, and Venetian-inspired architecture takes you back in time. Explore at your own pace, or let a private guide reveal the secrets of this ancient city, from the 12th-century Cathedral of St. Tryphon to the charming Maritime Museum and hidden alleys brimming with stories of the past. For those seeking a panoramic view, a short hike up the fortress walls offers sweeping vistas over the bay, a perfect spot for capturing the town’s dramatic beauty. A private guide can be arranged upon request.
