10 Things to do in Budva, Montenegro Travel Guide

Join us as we visit Budva, Montenegro in this travel guide covering locals eats, top attractions and the best things to do in Budva during your trip. Visiting in the off-season meant exploring the Old Town was an uncrowded affair. We had the incredible Citadel to ourselves, wandered along the coast and got lost in the small maze of the walled city. For Montenegrin cuisine we grabbed food along the waterfront with great views and a bit of brisk breeze in late fall. Overall, we had a pleasant visit and would recommend taking a day trip here from Kotor or even stay a few nights if your schedule allows for it.

10 Things to do in Budva, Montenegro Travel Guide (Будва) Video Transcript:
Good morning good morning guys. Greetings from Budva, Montenegro. Budva! So this is our second stop in Montenegro. Yeah. We left Kotor behind and what was it like 30 or 40 minute bus ride. Yeah, ridiculously close. Yep. Probably our shortest travel day. Yeah. So far. And we're also really close to the Old Town. Like our apartment is a 15 minute walk. Yeah. So we've just walked down here and we're going to show you some different things you can in Budva in this travel guide. But first breakfast. Breakfast of course.
Budva is a popular resort town that sits on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, so we started the morning off with a walk along the harbour where you can see everything from little fishing boats to luxury yachts. Though Budva is very close to Kotor, it has a very different feel so we’re going to take you on a quick day tour of the city and show you what it’s all about.
Budva Old Town Beach may not be the prettiest to swim in, but you do get some nice views of the walled city with St. Ivan’s Church peeking above the fortifications, but now let’s continue up the coast.
If you keep walking west along the coast, you’ll first come across the Ballerina Statue, also nicknamed Yoga Girl, keep following that path and it’ll bring you to Mogren Beach and Mogren 2, which are a bit sandier and less pebbly than the beach in the Old Town.
The Old Town of Budva is situated on a rocky peninsula, with the citadel located on the southern tip of the city. There isn’t a lot of information about the site once you enter, but it’s worth the visit for the views of the Old Town alone.
And that’s pretty much it for our tour of Budva. As you can see, the Old Town is quite small and compact, so you could easily cover it in half a day if you only had time for a day trip. We hope you enjoyed this quick tour and we’ll see you in the next video!
