Travel guides
Each guide takes one part of the trip and works through it with official sources: landing at the airport, getting near the Old Town without parking, the borders on the way to Kotor and Mostar, and the coast road to Split. Every guide shows when it was last checked.

Cavtat, Trsteno, Ston, Korčula, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Lovćen, Budva, Mostar and Split: ten days out with a driver, with distances and borders.

From the plane to the Old Town: passport control and EES, the arrivals hall, the shuttle, taxis and apps, and where a pre-booked driver waits.

The port is 3 km from the walls: walking, the buses from the quay, taxis and a driver compared, then shore-day plans for four, six and eight hours.

About 128 km over the Pelješac Bridge and into Herzegovina: the border and its papers, St James Church, the two hills, and Kravica or Mostar on the way.

The two roads to Split, the Pelješac Bridge that removed the Neum border, the A1 motorway and the stops worth making, with a driver at the wheel.

Who must register in the EU Entry/Exit System, the kiosks at Dubrovnik Airport, the road borders on a day trip, the lanes, and where ETIAS stands.

Passports and the Entry/Exit System, which crossing to take, border waits by season, the ferry or the bay road, and a timed day to Perast and Kotor.

The route over the Pelješac Bridge, the border at Metković–Doljani and its papers, Kravica and Međugorje on the way, and the Old Bridge, with a driver.

What each parking zone costs in 2026, how the camera-controlled traffic zone works, and where a car with a driver can set you down instead.

How taxi fares are set, Uber and Bolt in the city and at the airport, which cars may enter the Old Town zone, and the national fare caps from 2027.
The guides explain the options. When you want a driver waiting, start here.
One price for the vehicle and its driver, agreed before the day.
