About the Dubrovnik to Budva transfer

The Dubrovnik to Budva route enters Montenegro and continues past Kotor's bay, through the Sozina tunnel, to the Budva Riviera. Budva's tiny old town sits on a peninsula and is one of Montenegro's most popular beach destinations. Many guests combine this with a Kotor stop, making it a sightseeing transfer rather than just an A-to-B drive.

Route FAQ

Dubrovnik to Budva questions

Everything specific to this route.

How long is the Dubrovnik to Budva transfer?

About 2 hours 15 minutes (105 km). Border adds 5–20 minutes. With a Kotor stop, plan for about 3 hours.

Can we stop in Kotor?

Absolutely. Kotor is right on the route and a highlight of Montenegro. A quick walk through the Old Town takes 20–30 minutes; climbing the fortress walls takes about an hour.

What's the border crossing like?

One crossing from Croatia into Montenegro at Debeli Brijeg. Driver manages all documents. EU/UK/US/CA/AU citizens enter visa-free. Peak summer can mean 20–30 minute waits.

What's Sveti Stefan?

An island village connected to the mainland by a causeway—now a luxury Aman resort. You can't visit the island without a reservation, but the viewpoint from the road is one of the most photographed spots in Montenegro.

Can you pick me up from Dubrovnik Airport?

Yes. We meet you at arrivals with a name sign and drive directly to Budva. Flight tracking and 60 minutes free waiting included.

Where should I stay in Budva?

The Old Town is atmospheric but compact. Slovenska Beach is the main strip. Becici and Rafailovici are quieter beach suburbs just south. Driver drops you at any of these.
