After breakfast,  you will depart toCetinje, where you will enjoy in exterior visit of the old Royal Court of King Nikola in its magnificent glamour, now transformed into a national museum. Not far away from the museum is the medieval Cetinje Monastery which, among other relics, treasures the right hand of Saint John the Baptist.

After Cetinje you will drive to Njegusi. In this small village you will have a lunch and taste typical Montenegrin homemade food in one of the local taverns. Following that, the fascinating 25-serpentine road will take us from the altitude of 900m to 0, where you will find Kotor, a medieval town of thousand pearls. You will make a walking tour of the Old Town of Kotor, entering from the Sea Gate and enjoying Kotor’s narrow streets and small compact squares that preserve secrets from the Venetian time, confined in the 4,5km fortification built form IX to XIX century. You will have exterior visit of maybe the most beautiful cultural monument not only in Kotor but also in the surroundings - the basilica St. Tryphon, with impressive architecture from 1166.

After a free time in Kotor and short ride you will visit Perast, a magnificent baroque town form XV century, where you will visit a miniature manmade islet with the church Our Lady of the Rocks. The islet was made by seamen who, after finding an icon of the Virgin, protector of sailors and fishermen on one little rock only a meter above the surface, made a vow to build an islet by throwing the rocks into the bay. You can assume how long it took them to do it since this “throwing of the rocks’’, now famous as a festival ‘’Fasinada’’, started in 1452. The church on the islet is now a famous place for weddings and a beautiful museum.

After guided tour and some free time you will depart back to hotel in Budva. Overnight.
