Chronicles of Budva
Budva was founded by the Phoenicians in the 5th century BC, and its strategic location on the Adriatic coast made it a prized possession of various empires, including the Romans, Venetians, and Ottomans. The old town's architecture reflects this complex history, with a mix of medieval walls, baroque churches, and Venetian fortifications. Today, Budva is a thriving cultural hub, known for its vibrant arts scene, traditional festivals, and stunning beaches. The city's contemporary identity is deeply rooted in its history, with a strong sense of community and a passion for preserving its unique heritage.

Top Attractions in Budva
💡 Free to enter but donations welcome. Go during daily Mass at 11am (weekdays) for a short peaceful visit – otherwise it can be locked. The treasury costs a euro, skip it unless you're into artefacts.
💡 Walk from the Old Town past the small marina to the raised section by the Hotel Avala – best photo spot of the Old Town walls with the sea. Bring a bottle of water; no public fountains nearby.
💡 Snorkel the rocks at the far right end for small fish and occasional starfish. Bring a mat or towel with padding – the pebbles hurt. Avoid midday in peak season; the sun bounces off the wall and gets intense.
💡 Walk past the first cove – the second one (Mogren II) is quieter and has a small bar with reasonable beer prices. Bring water shoes: the rocks near the water are sharp.
💡 Visit early morning or after 8pm to dodge cruise-ship crowds. Climb the citadel walls for panoramic views of the coast and island of Sveti Stefan – it costs a few euros, but worth it if budget allows.
