Transport

Transport in Montenegro - how to get around the country: airports, the coastal railway, intercity buses, transfers, and ferries across the Bay of Kotor. This section has practical guides: how to get from point to point, roughly how long the trip takes, and what options there are.

Here you’ll find the country’s airports (Podgorica, Tivat, and nearby Dubrovnik in Croatia), city transport, and popular routes like Podgorica → Budva or Kotor → Budva (bus, car) - and we keep adding directions and modes of transport. It’s handy to plan transport together with the “Car rental” and “Routes” sections.
