Budva On Your Own

Looking for a laid-back time as you see more of Montenegro? Head to Budva for a few hours of total freedom. Best of all, your trip starts with a panoramic drive to the picturesque village of Sveti Stefan, located at the foot of the Lovcen mountain range. Cameras at the ready to capture a postcard-perfect view of this Adriatic gem.

Just down the road is Budva - one of the oldest settlements in the Balkans. It’s surrounded by 15th century ramparts, including medieval fortifications with city gates, defence walls and towers. Inside the walls, the town is a fascinating patchwork of narrow streets and small squares. Shops, cafes, bars and galleries vie for your attention. And it’s a treasure trove of culture, known for its arts, theatre and festivals. Remember, bring a towel if you fancy chilling out on the beach or taking a swim in the crystal clear sea.
