It&#8217;s best to ask the locals. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"166660\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor.jpg\" alt=\"Perast, Montenegro coastal town and stamp.\" class=\"wp-image-166660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor-770x1155.jpg 770w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-bucht-von-kotor-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2400\" data-id=\"166663\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel.jpg\" alt=\"Church on island with mountains in the background\" class=\"wp-image-166663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel-770x1155.jpg 770w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/perast-our-lady-of-the-rocks-insel-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lov\u0107en National Park<\/h4>\n\n<p>For nature lovers, <strong>Lov\u0107en National Park<\/strong> is a must.

However, if you are staying in the old town of Kotor, a car is generally a hindrance. The old town is car-free and you will have to park the car outside.

Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t really do this beforehand, so I only found out about a little special feature for a stay of several days in Kotor by chance &#8211; and luckily saved myself a lot of trouble when leaving the country! <\/p>\n\n<p>I entered the country by plane, went through passport control at the airport as normal and got an entry stamp in my passport.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration for tourists<\/h4>\n\n<p>If you are traveling to Montenegro as part of a package tour, you don&#8217;t need to worry about anything else. However, if you travel to Montenegro on your own like I did and organize your accommodation yourself, you must <strong>register<\/strong> at one of the tourist offices in Kotor within 24 hours of entering the country. Otherwise, you could face a fine of up to \u20ac200 when you leave the country.   (Whether this is actually enforced in the end, I do not know. Online you will find reads about the most diverse experiences with non-compliance with this regulation).<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to register as a tourist in Montenegro<\/h4>\n\n<p>To register, you will need your <strong>passport with the entry stamp<\/strong> and your name or the <strong>address of your accommodation<\/strong>; for private accommodation such as vacation apartments, you will also need the <strong>name of the landlord<\/strong>. Registration costs <strong>\u20ac1 per day <\/strong>and takes just a few minutes.  Then you will be issued a certificate of registration, which is best kept with your passport.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>You always need this <strong>registration certificate<\/strong> in Montenegro as soon as you stay longer than 24 hours in a municipality. I didn&#8217;t understand the point of it. The whole system is simply opaque, and nobody was really interested in my registration certificate. What&#8217;s more, I only registered 3 days after entering the country &#8211; that wasn&#8217;t a problem either.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montenegro.travel\/de\/plane-deinen-aufenthalt-in-montenegro\/wie-kannst-du-anreisen\/einreisebestimmungen-fur-montenegro\">Here you can find the official information about registration as a tourist in Montenegro<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm.jpg\" alt=\"Church tower with a view of the coastal town and mountains.\" class=\"wp-image-166772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/bucht-von-kotor-turm-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a trip to Kotor from Dubrovnik worth it?<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/en\/label\/dubrovnik-en\/\">Dubrovnik<\/a> is considered one of the new hotspots on the Croatian Adriatic coast and is only 60 kilometers away from Kotor.
