From Budva, head to the main bus station located near the center of town. Look for buses heading to Stari Bar. The journey should take about 30-40 minutes. Once you arrive at the Stari Bar bus station, exit and turn left onto the main road. Continue walking straight for about 15-20 minutes until you see signs for the Fortress Old Bar. Follow the signs uphill, and you’ll arrive at the fortress entrance.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from anywhere in Budva. Simply tell the driver 'Fortress Old Bar' or show them the address: '34VM+MWP, Stari Bar, Montenegro'. The ride should take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on a fare or ask for a meter to avoid any misunderstandings.
Walking
If you are feeling adventurous and enjoy walking, you can make your way to Stari Bar on foot. Start from the Budva Old Town and follow the coastal promenade towards the southwest until you reach the main highway. From there, turn right and follow the road for about 8 kilometers.
