Dubrovnik to Kotor, across the border
Kotor lies at the inner end of the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, around two hours from Dubrovnik. After the border the road follows the water almost all the way, past small towns and moored boats.
We drive you from your accommodation in Dubrovnik or Cavtat to your address in Kotor, and also the other way, to Dubrovnik or to the airport.

About the border
Montenegro is not in the European Union, so passports and ID cards are checked when you leave Croatia and again on the Montenegrin side. On summer days the wait can be an hour or longer, especially around midday. Leaving early helps.
