Budva

Budva is one of Montenegro's most popular coastal destinations. This small town on the Adriatic Sea offers a perfect mix of old-world charm and modern beach vibes. The old town, surrounded by ancient walls, feels like stepping back in time with its narrow streets, Venetian-style buildings, and small squares. It dates back over 2,500 years, making it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast.

The beaches around Budva are the main draw for many visitors. Mogren, Slovenska Plaza, and Jaz are some of the more famous ones, with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming. The area is sometimes called the 'Montenegrin Miami' because of its lively nightlife and beautiful coastline. During summer, the town transforms into a buzzing hub with parties, festivals, and concerts.

Beyond the tourist hotspots, Budva has an interesting cultural scene. The town hosts several festivals throughout the year, including the Theater City Festival and Sea Dance Festival. Local cuisine is definitely worth trying - seafood is fresh and plentiful, and the regional wines are excellent. While Budva can get crowded in peak season, its natural beauty and historical significance make it a worthwhile stop on any Montenegrin itinerary.
