Build this trip around walking and use the car to connect the towns. Start in Kotor without an exhaustive checklist: pick a square, turn into a lane and pause for coffee. In Perast, give the waterfront more time than the next pin on your map.
What to see
In Kotor, explore the old town and Maritime Museum. In Perast, look for stone palaces, St Nicholas Church and the view towards Our Lady of the Rocks. Arrange a boat visit to the island separately with a local operator.
Getting there by car
From Budva, enter Kotor first and Perast second in your navigation. Leave the car in a designated parking area and continue on foot. Add walking, parking and stops to the navigation estimate, and keep a separate margin for your return.
A suggested plan
Start with a walk through Kotor.
