3.5 days in Montenegro without a car

Hey! we planning a 3.5-day trip to Montenegro in early May, flying in/out of Podgorica. We’re thinking of using Kotor as our base and relying on public transport.

Here’s our rough itinerary:

Half day: Kotor Old Town + fortress (if possible)

One day: Perast, Kotor coast, and sunset at the cable car

One day: Budva Old Town + Sveti Stefan

Last day: considering Lake Skadar

Would it be realistic to visit Lake Skadar as a day trip using public transport?

Also, does this itinerary sound manageable without a car, or are we trying to fit in too much?

If anyone has visited recently, we’d love to hear your itinerary as well!

Thanks a lot 🙏
