- City walls open from 8 am; go before 9 am to beat cruise ship crowds. Book the Perast boat on arrival. Tivat Airport is 20 minutes away for fly-in travellers. Parking in the old town is impossible in summer. Stay outside the centre and walk in. The Sveti Stefan cliff viewpoint is signposted on the main coastal road south. The drive from Budva takes 75 to 90 minutes via Bar. Ada Bojana is 6 km beyond Velika Plaza and worth the detour for lunch. Fuel up before leaving Budva. Book a boat trip the day before; guides fill up quickly. The Sozina Tunnel from Bar saves 30 minutes and costs €2.50. Bring mosquito repellent for the boat and the evening. The Lovćen serpentine has 25 hairpins; sound your horn before blind corners. The Mausoleum closes at 4 pm. Njeguši village on the road down has roadside pršut and cheese. Return hire cars to Tivat rather than Podgorica; it is closer and has more direct flights to European cities.
