Tivat → Craiova

Plan Your Route**: The most efficient route typically involves flying from Tivat (TIV) to Bucharest (OTP) and then taking a train or bus to Craiova. If you prefer overland travel, consider driving or taking a bus directly, but be prepared for border crossings if traveling through Serbia.

Book in Advance**: Flights from Tivat can fill up quickly, especially during peak season. Use flight comparison websites to find the best deals and book at least a few weeks in advance. For trains and buses, check schedules and reserve tickets online where possible, especially for longer journeys.

Timing is Key**: If flying, allow ample time for connections, especially in Bucharest. Consider the time it takes to clear customs and immigration if you’re crossing borders. A buffer of at least 2-3 hours is advisable between your flight arrival and your train/bus departure.

Luggage Considerations**: Check the luggage restrictions for your airline and train/bus operators. Some low-cost airlines may have strict limits on cabin baggage, while trains typically allow more flexibility. Pack light and consider using a travel backpack for easier mobility.

Border Crossing Preparation**: If driving or taking a bus, ensure you have all necessary documents for border crossings, including a valid passport, vehicle registration (if applicable), and any required visas. Keep local currency handy for tolls and potential fees at the border.
