Getting around from Budva

Budva is the busiest resort on the Montenegrin coast: a Venetian-walled Old Town on a small peninsula, the long Slovenska beach, and the resort strip through Bečići and Rafailovići to Sveti Stefan. Everything runs along one coastal road, the Jadranska magistrala, which is also the only way in and out.

Three airports serve Budva. Tivat (TIV) is the closest at 19 km, about 25 minutes over the hill. Podgorica (TGD) is 63 km inland and Dubrovnik (DBV) 71 km up the coast across the Croatian border. Most of our Budva guests arrive at one of them and leave from another, which is exactly what a door-to-door transfer is for.

Onward, Albania is the popular next stop. Shkodër is 86 km down the coast past Ulcinj with one border at Sukobin, and Tirana is 177 km via Podgorica and Lake Skadar, about 3h 30m. Within Montenegro we run Budva to Podgorica, Tivat and Herceg Novi; Kotor is half an hour north on the same road.

Seasonal tips

Jul–Aug: Peak season. The coastal road through Budva and Bečići crawls in the afternoon — book morning pickups for airport runs and allow extra time on Saturdays.
May–Jun, Sep–Oct: Warm sea, empty roads, the best months for the Albania transfers and for combining Budva with Kotor or Dubrovnik.
Nov–Apr: Quiet. Many beach hotels close but the Old Town stays open. Transfers run year-round and the border waits are minimal.
Old Town pickups: The walled town is pedestrian-only. We meet you at the main gate by the marina with luggage assistance.
