day 1Dubrovnik to Montenegro
Dubrovnik (Croatia) - Kotor (Montenegro) - Budva - Montenegrin Riviera. In the morning, our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Dubrovnik at approximately 7:30 AM, so make sure you arrive in the city at least one night before your tour begins. We will then drive to the border where we will meet the tour leader.
Our first stop today is Kotor, Montenegro, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We'll navigate the narrow, cobblestone streets of the old town, which were deliberately designed in a maze-like fashion to deter invaders, a layout that now defines the city. Many historic buildings and churches feature small plaques indicating their dates of construction and original uses. We will visit Saint Luke’s Church, which holds great significance for the locals as a symbol of unity.
Later, we will head toward Budva, Montenegro, a popular tourist destination known for its beaches, beautiful landscapes, and historic architecture. The city is divided into old and new sections. In New Budva, we'll find modern buildings, offices, shopping malls, restaurants, and bars. Meanwhile, Old Budva is home to the historical centre and notable sites such as St. Ivan Church, the small Church of St. Mary, and the medieval wonders of the old town, all of which are included in our tour. Overnight accommodation will be near the Montenegrin Riviera.
