Dubrovnik was stunning! Here are some of things you need to do when you visit: . -Walk the city walls. Go early in the morning or later in the afternoon. It gets hot up there🥵 -Explore the old town. It has the most picturesque and charming alleys. -Check out Fort Lovrijenac. It’s pretty much an empty castle, not super exciting to be honest. The views from it are amazing tho. -Take a boat to Lokrum Island. It’s a great way to get away from the crowds in Dubrovnik. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Don’t forget to bring your bathing suit 👙!! . Stay tuned for the blog post! I’ll be sharing everything we did! As well as the link to our Airbnb which had incredible Dubrovnik views🤩!

If you are visiting Kotor and making it your home base for exploring the Bay of Kotor, I highly recommend staying right outside of Kotor. We stayed in Dobrota! About a 5 min drive from the old town! . Kotor gets super busy, sometimes there can be more than 2 cruises in town! Which only means lots of crowds. Enjoy the beauty and scenery of the Bay of Kotor by staying a bit out! . If you go to the old town, get lost through the charming alleys and check out all the sites in the Old Town TIP: Get an Old Town map from the tourist centre right outside the city walls! It’s super helpful when exploring.

P E R A S T ! A small town in Montenegro, so small you can walk from end to end in under 15 min. Less than 400 people live in this town, that's how small it is. I mentioned before it is so charming and has incredible views. It is a very peaceful town. It’s a great place to visit to escape the crowds in Kotor. You don’t need much time here, can easily be a day trip or afternoon trip. I am currently working on my Croatia and Montenegro blog post. So stay tuned! For now, you can check my highlight stories for both places✌🏻

As you saw on my stories we spent the last few days in Dubrovnik! I’ve never seen such amazing views! We walked the City Walls on a cloudy day so that’s a win in our books! . I loved this part of Europe, it’s so different! The heat is on another level but still amazing! . Everyone needs to visit Croatia, it’s incredible!

Perast was one of the towns we visited during our trip to Montenegro! . Only a 30 min bus ride or 10 min drive will bring you here, the drive is stunning...along the Bay of Kotor. I’ll be honest there’s not a lot to do besides looking at the beautiful scenery! It was quiet and a more relaxing town than Kotor. . One of the popular things to do here is to visit the small island of Our Lady of the Rock! To get there just take a boat for 5€! . Highly suggest visiting Perast if you travel to Montenegro! Like I said it’s beautiful, charming and with a lot less crowds! Check my IG stories highlight of Montenegro to see more of this beautiful town!

We spent the last week in Montenegro more specifically just outside of Kotor! Tomorrow we head to Dubrovnik to spend about 3 days! This trip has been nothing but incredible. A great mix of relaxing by the beach and exploring! . Have you ever been to Montenegro? If so, where?
