Budva Old Town
Ideal: Travellers combining a seaside stay with a historic-town visit
Budva Old Town occupies a small coastal peninsula enclosed by walls and filled with narrow lanes, squares and religious buildings. The historic centre adds a cultural layer to a resort otherwise known for beaches and nightlife. Walking around the walls, Citadel area and gates leading toward the shore creates a compact route. Crowds increase significantly in summer, so earlier hours are better for visitors who want to focus on the historic fabric.
