Tivat Airport FAQs
None of the buses travelling from Budva or Kotor have a scheduled stop by the airport but as they pass by on the main road, you might be able to convince the driver.
The easiest way is to pre-book a transfer from the airport to your destination town; a driver will then pick you up at the airport. The company providing the transfer will monitor whether your plane is delayed or not, so you do not have to worry about this, the driver will be there when you arrive.
A second option is a bit more complicated when travelling with luggage; you have to walk or take a taxi to Tivat bus station and from there take a bus to Kotor, Budva and other cities in Montenegro.
If you decide to land at Tivat airport instead of at Dubrovnik airport you can pre-book a transfer or go to Tivat bus station and take a bus to Dubrovnik.
Despite the fact that Montenegro is not a member of the EU, the official currency is Euro. Other currencies like the US dollar or pound can be exchanged at post offices, in banks or exchange offices.

Dear Lu,
Unfortunately, there are no direct lines from Zabljak and Kotor to Tivat Airport, but there is a bus from Kotor to Tivat (bus station) which passes by the airport and you could ask the driver to make a stop near the airport. Otherwise, your only option is getting a taxi.

Koja je cena taxija od Aerodroma u Tivtu do Djenovica? I da li postoji neki bus koji ide u tom pravcu u slucaju da je taxi preskup?
Hvala na odgovoru!
Poštovani,
cijena taksija varira, a naš savjet je da pripupitate cijenu prije same vožnje. Očekujte cijene od minimalno 10-ak eura.
Nažalost, autobusi ne prometuju iz zrače luke.
Srdačno,

What is the cost of a taxi from the Tivat main bus terminal to the city center? Also, is there a local bus that takes you from the Tivat main bus terminal to the city cente?
Hi Gilberto,
unfortunately, there are no bus lines connecting the airport to the city, so the taxi service is the only option.
However, as suggested in the text, ask the driver for the price before the ride as the prices are usually not fixed.
Best,
