Verige Bridge

Verige Strait

The Verige Bridge is a planned infrastructure project intended to span the Verige Strait, which is the narrowest point of the Bay of Kotor. While the bridge itself is a proposal as part of the Adriatic Highway, travelers visit this specific location to view the geography of the strait and the surrounding landscape. The area is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it a point of interest for those studying the bay's topography and coastal scenery.

Getting There

Access to the strait is typically managed via boat from the nearby town of Perast or Kotor. From the center of Kotor, a boat trip is the most direct method, taking approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on the vessel and weather conditions.

Duration of Visit

Since this is a geographical landmark rather than a structured museum or monument, most visitors spend 30 to 60 minutes observing the strait and the surrounding waters before continuing their tour of the bay.

When to Visit

The area is best visited during the spring and autumn to avoid the peak summer crowds that frequent the Bay of Kotor. Morning visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat and the heaviest boat traffic.

Nearby Attractions

The strait is located close to several historical sites in the bay. You can combine a visit here with the following locations:

  • Sveti Đorđe (0.9km)
  • Our Lady of the Rocks (1km)
  • Saint Nicholas church (1.3km)
  • Saint Mark church in Perast (1.3km)
