Budva is one of Montenegro’s main beach destinations. It combines a walled old town, a promenade, beaches and a large choice of hotels, and makes a good base for trips along the coast.
The best-value way to book is with Flight Hunter after comparing dates, baggage and change terms.
The Old Town
The small alleys, squares and walls suit a walk of a few hours. In the evening the area fills up, so families may prefer the morning.
Budva’s Beaches
There are town beaches and beaches a short drive away. In the hot season some are crowded, so arrive early and check facilities and parking.
Where to Stay
Staying near the center is convenient for walking but can be noisy. A more remote area suits those looking for quiet who have a car.
Day Trips
You can reach Kotor, Perast and Sveti Stefan. For a broader itinerary, read Montenegro in a week.
