Getting to and from Kotor is one of the first things travellers need to sort out โ and the options aren't always obvious. This guide covers every airport transfer option, the best day trips from Kotor by private car, and everything else you need to know about getting around Montenegro.
Most visitors arrive via one of three airports. Each has its advantages depending on where you're flying from:
At just 25-30 minutes, Tivat is by far the most convenient arrival point. The airport is small and friendly โ you'll be through arrivals quickly. Taxi options at the airport are limited and often overpriced; a pre-arranged private transfer gives you a fixed price, a driver holding your name, and no negotiating.
Our Tivat Airport transfer starts from 25โฌ for up to 3 passengers, including luggage. We track your flight so if you're delayed, we adjust the pickup without any extra charge.
Many travellers fly into Dubrovnik โ it's far better connected than Tivat for international routes. The transfer to Kotor takes about 1h45-2h including the border crossing from Croatia into Montenegro at Debeli Brijeg.
The border is generally smooth but can slow down in peak summer (July-August). Our drivers know the timing well and factor this in. Transfer from Dubrovnik Airport starts from 80โฌ.
This route also works in reverse โ plenty of guests finish their Montenegro trip with a day in Dubrovnik and fly home from there. We drop you at the airport or anywhere in the Old City.
Montenegro is small โ most of the country's highlights are within 2 hours of Kotor. A private transfer gives you the freedom to go at your own pace, stop where you want, and have a driver who knows the roads.
Montenegro's party capital, with the best beaches in the country. The Old Town of Budva is beautiful โ smaller and less crowded than Kotor's. Beaches like Jaz, Mogren, and Beฤiฤi are all within easy reach. Perfect for a beach day combined with some town exploring.
One of our most popular day trips. We drop you in the Old City in the morning, you spend the day exploring the walls, restaurants, and Adriatic light, and we collect you in the late afternoon. No driving, no parking stress, no border formalities for you to worry about.
The largest lake in the Balkans, straddling Montenegro and Albania. Birdwatching, boat tours, vineyards, and remote monasteries. Completely different from the coast โ greener, quieter, and unhurried. Worth combining with a visit to Virpazar village.
Take the famous serpentine road up from Kotor โ 25 hairpin bends with views that stop traffic โ to the top of Lovcen. The mausoleum of Montenegro's legendary poet-prince Njegos is up there. Views of the bay from above are extraordinary.
WhatsApp is the fastest option โ send your flight number, arrival date and time, number of passengers, and any luggage notes. We'll confirm availability and exact price, usually within a few minutes.
For day trips, just let us know your preferred date and destination. We operate daily year-round and can usually accommodate same-day requests if we have availability.
