Coastal Montenegro, Montenegro
Ulcinj relies mainly on local buses for public transportation within the town and to nearby attractions. It does not have metro or tram systems. These local buses serve as the main form of public transit. They connect the Ulcinj city center with areas like Velika Plaža (Long Beach), Ada Bojana, and other surrounding settlements within the municipality. The routes generally hold limitations compared to larger cities. They may not always have clearly marked stops or detailed timetables posted at every stop.
The Main Bus Station (`Autobuska Stanica Ulcinj`), near the town center, serves as the central hub for both local and intercity buses. You inquire about local routes here. Buses regularly run from the city center/bus station to Velika Plaža, with stops along the main road that parallels the beach. Services also extend to Ada Bojana, though less frequently. Formal, detailed route maps for local buses are not widely available. Fares are inexpensive, typically ranging from €1 to €3 for a local route, depending on the distance. You pay your fare directly to the bus driver upon boarding; cash payment in Euros is necessary. No advanced ticketing system exists for local buses. Local buses generally operate from early morning (around 6 AM or 7 AM) until late evening (around 9 PM or 10 PM) during the high season. Frequency can be somewhat sporadic, especially outside the busiest routes. Expect buses to run more frequently during the peak summer months. In the off-season, services significantly reduce.
