Understand

Budva, situated on the central part of Montenegrin coast known as "Budvanska Rivijera," is a captivating destination that attracts visitors from all over the world. Step into the old town, located on a small peninsula, and be transported to a bygone era. The charm of Budva lies not just in its history but also in its vibrant nightlife, with bars and nightclubs creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Beach lovers will have plenty of options to choose from, with Budva offering a staggering 35 beaches. While most of these beaches consist of rocks, there are also some sandy stretches. Keep an eye out for the blue flags that mark the highest quality beaches.

During the summer months, Budva comes alive with a variety of cultural events, from theater plays to music performances. However, some visitors may find the crowded beaches and the open display of go-go dancers on the main promenade a bit overwhelming. The rapid and unchecked growth of the city has led to the construction of unattractive towering buildings, including some directly on the beach.

For a taste of luxury, head to the marina where lavish yachts dock. In contrast, the old town exudes charm with its boutique shops and high-end restaurants, offering luxury goods at premium prices.
