Getting There

Walking

Start from the Old Town of Kotor. Head towards the main gate (Sea Gate) and exit the Old Town. Once outside, follow the road that leads to the bus station. You will see a sign for the direction to Cetinje. Continue along the road for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the bus stop. Here, you can catch a local bus heading towards Cetinje or a taxi to take you directly to the mausoleum.
Bus

After reaching the bus stop, look for the bus that goes to Cetinje. The buses are typically marked with their destination. The ride will take approximately 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the bus stop in Raičevići, get off the bus and follow the signs towards the Mausoleum. It's a short walk uphill from the bus stop, and you will see the mausoleum in the distance.
Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from Kotor to the Mausoleum. Simply ask your hotel to arrange a taxi or find one at the taxi stand near the Old Town. The journey will take about 30 minutes, and the driver will take you to the entrance of the mausoleum.
Hiking

For the adventurous, there is a hiking trail that leads up to the Mausoleum from Kotor. Start at the fortress (Kotor Fortress), and follow the well-marked path that leads to the top. The hike is steep and may take about 1.5 hours, but you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Kotor Bay.
