01Getting from the airport to Cetinje
Getting from the airport to Cetinje
In this section you can compare buses, trains via Podgorica, taxis and car hire for reaching Cetinje from TGD. A direct drive continues to the city, while public transport involves a change in Podgorica, at the bus station beside the railway station.
Bus via Podgorica
The bus journey consists of two rides and a change at Podgorica Main Bus Station. The second bus finishes at the station on Vojvode Boza Street in Cetinje. Departures from Podgorica run at varying intervals, with some evening buses two hours apart. Your landing time therefore needs to fit both timetables, rather than just the first bus outside the terminal.
Train to Podgorica, then bus
You can travel the first part of the journey to Podgorica by train, then continue to Cetinje by bus. This connection requires two tickets and an approximately 18-minute walk from the terminal to Aerodrom station. The rail option does not mean a direct train to Cetinje, but another way to reach the intercity bus.
Taxi transport from the airport
You can arrange a direct transfer from TGD to Cetinje with Zeta Taxi. The ride takes you to the agreed destination without visiting the city bus station in Podgorica. Give your address in Cetinje when booking, particularly if your accommodation is outside the centre, so the destination is clear before travelling.
TGD is in the municipality of Zeta. A Podgorica taxi licence alone does not permit airport passenger pickups, so confirm that any other taxi service you call has permission to collect you there.
Car hire at the airport
Picking up a car at TGD connects your arrival in Cetinje with driving during your stay. If you also plan to visit Lovcen or Rijeka Crnojevica, the same car remains available for those trips after reaching your accommodation. Agree the airport pickup point and the return location in the offer.

02Returning from Cetinje to the airport
Returning from Cetinje to the airport
You can return to TGD by a direct drive or by public transport via Podgorica. Bus journeys involve a change at the main city station, while the final rail leg ends at Aerodrom station, followed by a walk to the terminal. This section connects those options with the arrival deadline for your flight and the return of your vehicle.
When to arrive at TGD
Arrive at the TGD terminal at least two hours before your scheduled flight. The drive from Cetinje, parking and returning a hire car come before that deadline. If the airline requires an earlier arrival, its deadline applies, and the vehicle handover time needs to be agreed with the hire company.
Returning by public transport or car
The bus from Cetinje first reaches Podgorica, where you change to another bus to the TGD terminal. If you take the final leg by train, travel from the neighbouring railway station to Aerodrom station, followed by an approximately 18-minute walk. A direct return ride with Montenegro Tour Operator costs 40 € for a Standard vehicle for up to three people. You can agree the pickup time when booking that ride. For a hire car, confirm the handover location and time with the company.
