Em Perast, Montenegro

Perast is a coastal village near Kotor. The most popular activity is, without doubt, the boat trip to the Our Lady of the Rocks island, a place that stands as a Catholic symbol of the region. We also had to try the Perast cake which is more like an almond tart full of flavour. All the details about what to do and where to eat in Perast are now available

Em Montenegro: mausoléu de Njegoš em Lovćen e o pôr do sol em Budva

This was our second attempt to visit the Njegoš mausoleum after leaving Kotor behind. Even though a dense fog had settled over the mountain, the mausoleum was open. And, on that day, it was free to enter due to the weather conditions. For me, the fog only added to the experience, deepening the sense of austerity. Later on we visited Budva at sunset, and it was just beautiful

Kotor (parte 2): fortaleza, catedral e um doce final

Climbing the fortress and soaking in those sweeping views was the perfect way to open the day in Kotor. It only got better from there: a visit to the cathedral, a sweet breakfast, and a slow wander along the city walls, joined by Kotor’s many resident cats. All the details are in the post.

Kotor (parte 1): acomodação, igrejas e pasta

Visiting Kotor is a must in Montenegro. This UNESCO‑listed medieval town is full of charm, from its churches and stone streets to its city walls and incredible food. This was the first part of our experience — and staying at the amazing Palata Bizanti apartment made it even better.

Itinerário em Montenegro: Sveti Stefan, Cetinje e a chegada a Kotor

Rain soaked most of our second day in Montenegro, so it wasn’t the highlight of the trip. Still, we visited Sveti Stefan, Praskvica Monastery, and Cetinje, and tackled the winding Kotor serpentine to see why it’s such a challenge. All the details from Bar to Kotor are now up.

Experiência gastronómica e cultural em Bar, Montenegro

Bar was where we spent the second night of the trip. We had delicious food for both dinner and breakfast, a perfect introduction to Montenegro’s traditional gastronomy. We also visited the beautiful Orthodox church of St. Jovan Vladimir. Now see how you can add Bar to your itinerary.

A ruínas da cidade velha de Stari Bar e chegada a Bar

After leaving Lake Skadar, we explored the amazingly well‑preserved ruins of Stari Bar — genuinely stunning. Then came the chaos: a coffee shop encounter with a slightly unhinged, very rude pomegranate super‑fan who took Montenegrin fruit way too seriously. We wrapped the day with check‑in at our place in Bar, the cheapest stay of the whole trip. All the details now available!
