This guide will help you get prepared for Kotor Nest:

🚕 If you are coming to Tivat airport, you can arrange a transfer with Red taxi company. The fare now ranges between 15€ and 20€, as it's calculated by a taximeter. Send them your name and flight details to +38267019729 (available for WhatsApp/Viber).

If you are coming from Podgorica airport, contact Filip at +38268028802. He is our long-term partner and agreed to offer us a special price of 60€ for the transfers paid in cash. Be sure to mention that you are guests of Kotor Nest, because the regular price is 80€, and don’t forget to have cash with you.

In both cases, they will need your name and flight details, and the driver will wait for you in front of the airport building with your name.

Ask for drop off at the Main gate of the Old Town (Sea gate or Vrata od grada in Montenegrin).

Bus prices from Podgorica are significantly lower (around 7-9€). The bus station is in the city, and you will have to take a taxi to there as there are no shuttles. You can check the bus schedule here.

Kotor bus station is a 10-minute walk from us (roughly 800 meters).

The alternative airport is Dubrovnik in Croatia, you can check the bus schedule here. Again, you have to go to the city and take a bus. The ride takes around 2 hours and includes a border crossing.
