In this case, it is advisable to buy a bus ticket online, of course in advance. Please pay attention on departure time of the bus, and the landing time of your plane.

This is not always easy, especially if your accommodation is in some of the settlements which are outside of the old town, Dobrota, Ljuta Muo, Perast, Orahovac, Prcanj etc.
