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!

  1. As im watching this video i'm also googling Budva, and since some of my neighbors visited Montenegro last year I now know why they were so amazed. This town seems to have some pretty darn awesome looking beaches outside of the town. And as I can see Jaz, Kamenovo, Sveti Stefan are totally awesome. Anyway great video guys.

  2. Wouldn't be nice and humane it you self loathing people got some food for the poor mama cat and her babies–just stuffing your disgusting ugly face.

  3. You two are just fabulous!!!! I’m going to Kotor on 7th June, can’t wait, will try to visit Budvar. My cat Sweetie would love to meet you next time you’re in the UK!! 😻

  4. Dont know if i like your videos because you make great videos or because i love your girlfriend💖

  5. Noooo guys why did you come to budva in januari?! You should come again in juli/ august, you'll fall in love <3

  6. Hi! I just spent 8 days in Montenegro with a wonderful family who guided us from Dubrovnik, Croatia to the Albanian border. The food was amazing, the weather wonderful, and the seawater an absolute joy to swim in! My wife and I loved it and will go back again someday. We also went on an inner trip to a high mountain peak where there was a tomb and a restaurant to visit. The surrounding villages were peaceful and quiet. The people were always helpful, and I felt safe which is important to everyone I suspect. We also went to Paris and I did not come away with the same impression. Lyon, France, on the other hand, was better IMO. Peace and happiness to you both!😎🌺

  7. Hey Guys, I see you did a similar trip to what I'll be doing in Feb/March. Since you were there in off season too, do you think it's worth staying in both Kotor and Budva? Or should I just base myself in Kotor and do a day trip to Budva?

  8. You come at totally wrong time in Budva…if you wanna enjoy without many many people best time is end of May beginning of Jun or end of August. If you wanna experience Budva IBIZA TIME best time is from 15 July and 10 August….there is no place in world like Budva in that time because its so small you dont need car to check everything and belive me you can party 24/7 on 5 different ways

  9. In Europe coffees are small but so packed with punch and flavor. I swear I crave those coffees when I come back home. Only crappy coffees in the US.

  10. When checking out places we are visiting through cruising I'm always surprised to see you have been there as well, your videos and information are excellent, I feel I know you both.

  11. Budva may not be beautiful now on the winter but you need to see it on summer it's very beautiful I talking from experience cuz I live their

  12. Oo I was in Montenegro Budva 3-2 years ago,it was really nice but the hotel where I was wasnt giving the best food

  13. Just wanted to thank you for your videos – My wife and I followed many of your recommendations for our tour around the Adriatic on our honeymoon 2 years ago! Also, thanks for replying to our questions.

  14. Montenegro is a small state and they should respect all tourists all year round and not to keep premises opened when busy. I've watched this video as I am planning to go in October. I think I am going some place else.

  15. 11:55 the singers name is KNEZ, he actually represented Montenegro in Eurovision 2015, has lots of beautiful and great songs and is very known in the Balkans. Listen to Knez -Adio!

  16. I love this country, I spent 3 months there, Podgorica, Budva, Kotter… Everything was beautiful in Montenegro ❤️
