La proprietà — Mary
Hotel Mary is a modest, family-run 3-star perched on a quiet residential side street a five-minute walk from Budva's old town and the main beach. The lobby is small and tiled, with a reception desk that doubles as the bar counter in the evening, and a constant low hum of local TV. It's clean, no-frills accommodation that suits budget-conscious couples or solo travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring rather than lounging indoors. The rooftop terrace has a decent view of the Adriatic but no pool — a trade-off for the cheap rate.
Cronache di Budva
Budva's history stretches back to the 5th century BC, when Greek colonists from Corcyra founded a settlement on this bay. The old town, a compact Venetian-era citadel with narrow stone streets and red-tiled roofs, survived the 1979 earthquake relatively intact thanks to extensive reconstruction. Under the Republic of Venice, Budva was a fortified trading port, and its walls still enclose churches, squares and small galleries. Today it's Montenegro's most popular beach resort, with a buzzy nightlife strip and a young, international crowd. The modern town sprawls west along the coast, but the walled core remains the beating heart.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Budva →I migliori mesi
June and September offer the best balance: seawater is warm (22-25°C), days are long, and the peak summer crowds have yet to arrive or have already thinned. May is also pleasant, though the sea is cooler and some beach bars only open fully from June.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the absolute peak, driven by school holidays and the Budva Summer Festival (music, dance and theatre performances in the old town, running mid-July to mid-August). Hotel Mary's rates can double or even triple in these months, and advance booking is essential. The town becomes jammed with tourists, especially on weekends when day-trippers from Kotor and Dubrovnik arrive.
Stagione di spalla
May and late September are the best budget shoulder months. Room rates at Mary drop by 30-50%, weather is still warm (20-26°C), and the old town is walkable without constantly dodging selfie sticks. You'll get quieter beaches and shorter queues at restaurants.
Meteo e imballaggio
Budva in early July is hot and dry, with average highs around 30°C and low humidity, but a sudden afternoon thunderstorm isn't unusual. Pack light cotton clothing, a hat and strong sunscreen, but also one long-sleeved top and trousers for cool evenings and any mosquitos that linger near the seafront at dusk.
Briefing della città — Budva
- The Budva-Kotor coastal road (E65/E80) has ongoing summer traffic restrictions, with one-way systems active from 10am to 10pm to ease congestion — expect delays if driving between the two towns.
- A new pedestrian zone closes Jadranski Put (the main seafront road) to vehicles from 9pm to 3am daily through August, making it easier to walk between old town and beach bars but harder to find parking near the hotel.
- The 2026 Budva Summer Festival programme was announced in May, with free open-air concerts on the old town's Main Square every Saturday night from mid-July — expect amplified music until midnight.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mary, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard. These floors sit above street-level bustle and the courtyard side avoids the main road noise on Ulica XV.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor at the front. That floor is closest to Ulica XV traffic and pedestrian noise, and the front-facing windows get direct street sounds.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing the rear offer views of the old town rooftops and a sliver of the bay. Front-facing rooms look onto Ulica XV and the busier part of Budva.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 are the quietest: they're high enough to escape street rumble but not near any rooftop machinery or lift motor housing.
🔊 Noise notes
Ulica XV is a main access road in Budva, so daytime traffic hum is constant. The hotel's ground floor likely houses the bar and restaurant, adding chair scrape and chatter until ~23:00. If the lift is in the central core, vibration travels through walls on floors 1–2.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, park in the public garage just off Ulica XV (about 100m south) — cheaper than hotel parking and saves you reversing onto the narrow street. 2. At check-in, ask for a room away from the lift shaft; the mechanism noise is audible in adjacent rooms, especially late at night.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs in Budva town centre for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Tivat airport or the old town tourist zone as they charge poor rates and high fees.
Contactless cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops in central Budva, but cash is still expected at smaller kiosks, market stalls, and for taxi drivers—always carry some euros.
Restaurants: round up or leave 5–10% if service is good (not compulsory). Taxis: round up to the nearest euro. Hotel staff: no expectation but a euro or two for luggage help is appreciated.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A shot of espresso at a bar in the town centre costs around €1.20–€1.50; ordering to stay is the same price as standing at the counter.
A bakery or fast-food pizza slice with a drink from a pekara costs about €4–€6; most locals grab a burek for around €2.
A main course (like grilled fish or pasta) at a konoba outside the old town runs €8–€12; in the old town it's more like €12–€18.
The cheap-eats area is along the main pedestrian drag near the marina and outside the old town walls, where stalls sell ćevapi, grilled chicken, and pizza by the slice.
The biggest budget chains are Idea and Roda (part of Mercator); Voli is another common supermarket with slightly higher prices.
For cheap clothes, head to the small shops near the bus station or the market stalls along Njegoševa street; for basics, the City Shopping Centre has Zara and H&M.
The cheapest way around Budva is walking—the town is compact. For longer trips, a local bus between Budva and neighbouring beaches costs €1.50–€2.50. From Tivat airport, take the public bus (line 15 or 24) for about €3–€4, not a taxi (which runs €15+).
Buy bottled water and snacks at supermarkets like Idea instead of tourist kiosks. Eat away from the sea-facing promenade as prices jump dramatically. Book accommodation with a kitchen to cook meals from the market.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
