Kotor's main bus station is located just outside the Old Town walls, near the main road and the city's main parking area. It's a small, functional terminal with ticket counters and basic amenities. All intercity and most regional buses arrive and depart from here, making it the central hub for connections.
How Do I Buy Bus Tickets in Montenegro?
Tickets are typically purchased directly from the driver when boarding the bus, using cash (Euros). For popular routes from major stations like Podgorica or Dubrovnik, you can also buy tickets at the station counter in advance. It's advisable to have small bills ready for on-board purchases.

How Reliable Are Bus Schedules in Montenegro?
