Budva is one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic, with over 2,500 years of history. The Old Town within Venetian walls preserves narrow stone streets, churches, and a citadel, while sandy and pebble beaches of the Budva Riviera line the coast. The city combines a historic core, a vibrant summer season, and proximity to beaches such as Mogren, Jaz, and Bečići, making it one of the main centers of the Montenegrin coastline.
Everything you need for Budva in one place
The walled city dates back to the Hellenian period, and its present appearance owes much to Venetian architecture. Narrow cobblestone streets lead to the Citadel, churches, and the square. After the devastating earthquake of 1979, the city was meticulously reconstructed.
A 15th-century Venetian fortress at the southwestern corner of the Old Town offers views of the sea and surrounding hills. Today it is one of the most famous spots in the Old Town, with terraces providing a panoramic view of the sea, the city walls, and the island of Sveti Nikola.
One of the oldest churches in Budva, located within the walls of the old town, dating from the 9th century with later Venetian reconstructions. The modest Romanesque-Gothic facade conceals valuable ecclesiastical artifacts. It is regularly open to visitors during the day.
By boat along the Montenegrin riviera, the route heads toward Sveti Stefan, whose distinctive silhouette is visible from the sea, then continues toward Petrovac.
