Mediteran Express

Rafailovići → Budva

Fare: ≈ €1.5 one wayDuration: ≈ 13 min end to endEvery day

Rafailovići sits just along the bay from Bečići, and the same local Mediteran Express buses run into Budva from here. It’s an easy, cheap ride into the Old Town — well worth it over the long walk or the scramble for paid parking near the centre.

Two lines stop in Rafailovići on their way back to Budva: the Budva – Sveti Stefan line and the Budva – Petrovac line. Between them a bus heads for Budva roughly every 15–20 minutes through the day in season, so you rarely wait long.

Catch it at the Rafailovići stop on the main coast road, and pay the seller at the stop or the driver in cash — about €1.50. The ride into the centre of Budva takes around 13 minutes, and buses run until well after midnight, so it’s the easy way in for the town’s restaurants and nightlife.
