The bell tower is not secure. Very narrow stairs with a lot of tourists passing by each other and a flimsy fence without any protection for kids or smaller people.
The stairs as construction are endangered, you will notice the joins between steps that have gaps big enough to see light through them. I am writting this review because I feel responsibility to alert. This is a tragedy that awaits to happen. Of course you will not get a ticket when you pay for entrance and if you get hurt you will have no evidence to place a complaint.

The church of Agios Nikolaos in Perast, is one of the most characteristic images of the city. Its beautiful, 55 meters high bell tower stands out from a long distance, above the roofs of the rest of the buildings. The church was built in 1616, but in the 18th century it was decided to be transformed into a cathedral, so reconstruction works began. Unfortunately, the works were not completed, so today the Agios Nikolaos consists of two buildings, of different times and architectural rhythms. Religious services continue to be held in the old church, while the newest part of the church houses an interesting museum collection of religious objects and art exhibits. The impressive bellroom harmoniously combines Baroque architectural elements with Renaissance and Romanesque. For the daring, it offers at a very small price the opportunity to admire the city and the Gulf of Kotor from high.

The St. Nikola Church is definite visit in Perast, located steps from the waterfront in the middle of Perast, BUT be sure to climb the tower behind. This 55 meter structure is a real marvel of engineering and the views are amazing from the top bell level. It is a little "tight" in a few spots (the stairs were purpose built, and not for tourists, so carry your backpack or leave it at the bottom) but you will be rewarded with stunning views of this small community and the surrounding bay. Great value for the 1 Euro admission charge. Enjoy.

On land we visit the largest church of the 19 churches in this small village.
It stands out for its 55 m high Venetian bell tower and actually consists of a newer part, almost rectangular, built in front of an older part. In it you can visit the sacristy and a small museum with priestly vestments, icons etc.

The Church of St Nicholas is the most prominent of Perast. The Catholic church with its magnificent tower, was rebuilt in 1616, and is dedicated to the saint protector of travelers in the waters. In addition, in front of the church is the main square of Perast, with some statues of famous residents of Perast.

1 euro to climb the tower. 2 euros to enter the museum (you can choose to do both, neither, or one of them).
The main worship room is free.
The museum was quiet and had no explanation of what you were looking at. I don't think its a priority. The tower was nice, though expect some low celioooooooooooooo

This was our first stop in the beautiful Perest. We wanted to climb so we would get a good view of the landscape. At just 1 euro we couldn’t resist. There are quite a few steps to get to the top, which was challenging in the heat, but it is well worth it. Spent about 5 mins at the top taking pictures and taking it all in.

Paid a little extra to look at the additional areas beyond the main church. The unfinished chapel was interesting and being able to see the fine needlework on the vestments up close. Didn’t bother going up the tower

Amazed no-one has recommended this - pay one euro to climb the church belfry at St Nikolas Church - its a hair-raising climb and not for the faint-hearted due to the inadequate handrail around the central well (don't look down!) but the views of the bay, the mountains, the islands, the town and are absolutely amazing. Not to be missed, so long as you have a head for heights and accept health and safety is not a priority here!

This is a church in 2 parts and you can climb the tower if you wish. A full history of its building and history is available at the entrance and makes for a nice place to visit for an hour
