About the Dubrovnik to Kotor transfer

The drive from Dubrovnik to Kotor is one of Europe's most scenic coastal journeys. You cross into Montenegro at Debeli Brijeg (our drivers use this quieter crossing rather than the busier coastal one), then wind around the Bay of Kotor — a fjord-like inlet that UNESCO considers one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Many guests add a stop in Perast, a tiny baroque town where you can boat out to the island church of Our Lady of the Rocks.

Route FAQ

Dubrovnik to Kotor questions

Everything specific to this route.

How long is the Dubrovnik to Kotor transfer?

About 1 hour 45 minutes (93 km). The border adds 5–20 minutes. With a Perast stop, plan for about 2.5 hours.

Is Perast worth the stop?

One of the highlights of the bay. The tiny Baroque town and the boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks island are extraordinary. Allow 20–30 minutes for a quick visit.

How does the border crossing work?

One crossing from Croatia into Montenegro at Debeli Brijeg. Stay in the car—driver handles everything. EU/UK/US/CA/AU citizens enter visa-free.

Can I be picked up from Dubrovnik Airport?

Yes. We track your flight and meet you at arrivals with a name sign. 60 minutes free waiting after landing.

What should I do first in Kotor?

Walk through the Old Town gates and explore the stone lanes. The fortress walls climb 1,200 metres above town—the climb takes about 30 minutes and the views are spectacular. Or enjoy a drink in one of the piazza cafes.

Is this route better than the ferry?

Much more comfortable and reliable. No fixed schedules, door-to-door, and the scenic bay drive is a highlight in itself. Plus your luggage stays with you.
