By car

Our routing estimates without traffic: Kotor 14.3 km, about 24 minutes; Risan 3.7 km, about 7 minutes; Tivat town centre 24.8 km, about 38 minutes; Tivat airport about 20.8 km, about 32 minutes. From Dubrovnik, the road round the inner bay by Verige and Risan passes through Perast on the way to Kotor: 94 km and about 2 h 25 without queues at the border.

We could not confirm whether parking in Perast is free or paid, so we give no price.

By bus and taxi

The Kotor bus station lists no direct line to Perast. The municipality publishes a local line, the K7 “Kotor (School Centre) – Risan”, with a stop at Perast (€1.50 from Kotor). It is a school line: its notice says it does not run at weekends, on holidays, from 10 June to 31 August or from 1 to 20 January, and its timetable is hard to read, so do not plan a visit around it.

Taxi fares from Kotor are not confirmed.

By boat to the islets

Boats to the islets leave from the Perast quay, and the crossing is short. There is no official operator, fare or timetable that we could read; see the Tickets page. Boat trips from Kotor that stop at Our Lady of the Rocks are sold by our booking partners and listed on the Tickets pages of Perast and the Bay of Kotor.
