Budva Old Town
Budva Old Town
About
Budva Old Town is a historic walled city known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, narrow winding streets, and picturesque squares
Insider Tips
The Citadel (Fortress) is located at he southern tip of the town. For €5.50, you gain access to the ramparts, a small maritime library, and a museum of ship models. The view from the top overlooking Sveti Nikola Island is the best in town. For 2€, you can walk the full perimeter of the town walls, which gives you different perspectives and a peek into the private courtyards of the residents
Unlike Kotor, which still feels like a residential town, Budva's Old Town is almost 100% commercialized. Almost every ground floor is a restaurant or a souvenir shop selling generic magnets and beachwear
Did you know?
The modern-day "Old Town" is technically a reconstruction; the 1979 earthquake destroyed or severely damaged nearly every building within the walls. Architects spent eight years using original techniques and cataloged stones to rebuild the town exactly as it was, making it a masterpiece of modern restoration
