Dubrovnik to Kotor transfer
The drive from Dubrovnik to Kotor is one of the most dramatic short journeys in the Mediterranean. In just 93 kilometres, you cross from Croatia into Montenegro and enter the Bay of Kotor — often called Europe's southernmost fjord — where steep mountains plunge directly into deep blue water and medieval stone towns cling to the shoreline.
Kotor itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a perfectly preserved walled town at the head of the bay. Its maze of narrow streets, Romanesque churches, and Venetian-era architecture make it one of the most atmospheric places in the Balkans. The fortress walls climb nearly 1,200 metres up the mountain behind the town, offering breathtaking views for those willing to make the climb.
This transfer is equally popular as a day trip from Dubrovnik or as a one-way transfer for travellers continuing through Montenegro. Either way, the journey is a highlight in its own right.

PremiumWhat the road looks like
The route leaves Dubrovnik heading south on the coastal road, passing through the resort towns of Cavtat and Cilipi before reaching the Croatia-Montenegro border at Debeli Brijeg. The crossing usually takes 10-20 minutes, longer in summer.
Once in Montenegro, the road descends to the coast and enters the Bay of Kotor. The bay unfolds in a series of dramatic bends — the mountains rise steeply on all sides and the water narrows and widens as you round each headland. The optional stop at Perast offers a perfect photo opportunity with its twin islet churches.
The final approach to Kotor brings you along the bay's edge, with the massive medieval walls and the fortress above becoming visible long before you arrive. Your driver drops you at the gate of the Old Town or at your hotel.
