Panorama of Tivat Tivat is the newest and smallest municipality in the Bay of Kotor. It did not begin to grow and develop as an urban centre until the end of the nineteenth century. Altogether it covers about 46 km2 and has a population of about 13.000. The size and youth of this beautiful town in no way reduce its importance. The main airport for the Montenegrin coast is situated within its territory. A place where every year tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world have their first encounter with Montenegro. 
Tivat Airport In the town of Tivat itself there are several hotels and good places for entertainment. Don't miss the Gallery in Buco's Summerhouse, and you must drink a coffee on the sea front before setting off to explore the surrounding areas which have so much to offer. From mountain hikes, to farmhouse holidays and visits to the islands and the whole seaside experience.

Tivat occupies a very good position, and is near to the Airport, the borders with Croatia and Bosnia & Hercegovina, as well as the other towns in the area, Kotor, Herceg Novi, Budva. It is linked to the ancient town of Kotor by a tunnel under Mt. Vrmac, while those who enjoy beautiful old stone houses and the views of the bay from Tivat to Kotor can take the old road via Lepetane, Stoliv, Prcanj and Muo. 
Tivat Bay When you cross the border into Montenegro from Croatia or Bosnia & Hercegovina at Debeli Brijeg or Sitnica and then after taking a walk around Herceg Novi you carry on in a southerly direction, take the ferry and disembark at the other side of the bay where you should turn right and after just a few kilometers will find yourself in Tivat. On the other side of Tivat you cross the Grbalj plain and arrive in Budva in just ten minutes.
