A detailed guide to Budva Old Town is here! Included is a hand-drawn aerial map! Budva, the pearl of Montenegro's Adriatic coast, boasts over 2,500 years of history, blending medieval architecture, azure seas and skies, and a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. I. Budva Old Town Key Sights and Route Map (see first and last images) ⌛️ Half-Day Highlights Route (2-3 hours) 1. Old Town Entrance (Sea Gate) Enter through the sea-facing "Sea Gate" and admire the Venetian-style arches and city walls. 2. St. Ivan's Church This 7th-century Gothic church, the highest point in the old town, offers panoramic views of the red rooftops and coastline. 3. Holy Trinity Church This Byzantine-style Orthodox church houses replicas of mosaics by the Russian icon painter Rublev. 4. Budva Citadel Entrance fee: €6. The wall walk offers the perfect vantage point for panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. 5.

"Dancing Girl": A 10-minute walk along the Mogren Beach promenade to see this iconic sculpture, symbolizing faithful love. Mogren Beach: A crescent-shaped beach on the west side of the old town, with clear waters, ideal for swimming and clifftop hiking. 2. Nearby Tours Route 1: Budva + Sveti Stefan Island (Half-Day Tour) Route 2: Budva + Kotor Old Town (Full-Day Tour) 🏡Accommodation: Pera Trixos Heritage Grand Hotel 🍖Restaurant: Restoran Stari Konak 👍The essence of Budva lies in its leisurely journey through the fusion of the ancient city and the sea. Daytimes, explore the millennia-old stories within its stone walls, and evenings, relax on the beach sipping local Vranac red wine. This truly lives up to its reputation as the "Balcony of the Adriatic Coast." [Value for Money] [Fun] [Scenery]

Budva, Montenegro, reviews Budva on the Adriatic Sea, a perfect blend of Mediterranean romance and Balkan wildness. The 2,500-year-old Venice city whispers in red roofs and slate lanes, the bells of St. Ivan’s Church are concerted with waves, and the “Dancing Girl” statue takes the reef as a stage, fixed into a landmark silhouette. It is a blue-green crescendo of Moglen Beach and the rich private hideout of San Stefan Island during the day, and at night it is a sleepless theater intertwined with an open-air bar and electronic music. Despite summer tourists, a cup of coffee for 10 euros and a seafood meal for 50 euros per person still make this a European price ceiling. The only thing to adapt is perhaps the cat that suddenly hits in the alleys of the ancient city, or the corner of a film called 007 under the Venetian wall.
