Kotor's Nearby Our Lady of the Rocks: Free VIP Lounge Access from the UK, Island Full of Historic Buildings!
Near Kotor in Montenegro, there's a very famous attraction: Our Lady of the Rocks. Here, you'll find a museum and a church (Church of Gospa od Skrpjela). These iconic buildings can be seen from afar in Kotor! It's just a 20-minute boat ride from Kotor, and the buildings are unique and full of Montenegro's distinctive charm. The church with the blue dome is especially notable! The island also features marble altars, historically used by sailors to pray for safe journeys.
Although it's a very small island, I personally find the buildings on it very interesting and definitely worth a visit!
On this trip to Kotor, I enjoyed the free VIP lounge service as a diamond member when flying from the UK! Diamond members can enjoy up to two free accesses. Download Trip.com now and get special offers for your first post. If you love traveling, you definitely shouldn't miss this app!

The Virgin of the Rock
Visiting the Virgin of the Rock was a truly astonishing experience. The natural beauty of the island and the stunning 17th-century Baroque church were breathtaking. A meeting of history and art with a unique charm.
From the outside, the temple offers a view of the beautiful blue sea of Kotor Bay. The landscape surrounding the temple was amazing.
The paintings and statues attached inside the church remind us of the depth of tradition and faith. My visit was an unforgettable spiritual experience.

This serene man made island is called our lady of the rocks in Montenegro is a must visit and renowned for its nature beauty along side Adriatic Sea with Black Forest on the side. The old time fishing villagers got a picture of Mary from this place and they took it back to Kotor and the next day they found the picture again at this spot. so the fishing villagers starting bringing stones one by one and made this beautiful church and island named our lady of the rocks. #montenegro #our lady of rocks
