Sitting across the Bay of Kotor from Herceg Novi, the UNESCO-listedKotor is certainly one of Montenegro’s most charming coastal towns, full of history, culture, and architectural heritage, plus a laid-back atmosphere – when there are no cruise ships docked in the port. You can easily travel from Herceg Novi’s Bus Station to Kotor by catching one of the buses going towards Tivat or Budva, and vice versa.
The buses depart every half hour during the peak of the summer and a one-way ticket costs between 3 and 6 €. The journey takes on average between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on traffic. You can either pay for your ride at the ticket counter located within the bus terminal or simply purchase it online and print it out.
After departing from Herceg Novi’s or Kotor’smain bus terminal, the route winds down the Adriatic Coastal Road and passes a series of picturesque coastal towns and villages, including Risan, Perast, and Orahovac.
