Spend a relaxed day crossing borders and centuries: from Dubrovnik you’ll drive into the Bay of Kotor to visit Herceg Novi, Roman mosaics at Risan, the stone town of Perast and historic Kotor. Small-group pacing, local tips, and short walks make this an accessible cultural day trip.

You climb into an air-conditioned van in Dubrovnik and the Adriatic sunlight pushes through the windows as the coast peels away. The road threads along the Bay of Kotor—cliffs leaning toward the water, villages like notes on a score—and your guide sets a relaxed pace: small group, flexible stops, time to taste local cake and coffee.
