If you travel to towns in Montenegro like, Budva, Tivat, Kotor, Herceg Novi or any other, you can basically do so by bus, but as the buses do not run from the airport but from the main bus station in Dubrovnik, you will have to travel there first, which is 20 km in the opposite direction and therefore not a good option to consider.

The border crossing is normally hassle free, but occasionally it happens that there is some additional waiting time, so make sure to your schedule is not too tight.

Dubrovnik airport to Bosnia & Herzegovina

Destinations in Bosnia are a bit hard to reach by public transportation since there are very few buses and, as mentioned above, intercity buses do not run from the airport but from the main bus station in Dubrovnik, so most people either join an organized excursion, rent a car or book a private transfer to get to Bosnia. The most popular tours we drive are tours to Mostar, Medjugorje and Sarajevo.

NOTE: As a transfer to Bosnia includes a border crossing, make sure you have all the necessary documents for doing so; usually the crossing the border is hassle free, but on days with heavy traffic (often Saturdays) or with extended border controls, it can take some additional time to cross the border.
