Where to stay in Budva

Old Town (Stari Grad)

  • first-time visitors
  • history
  • walking

Wikivoyage describes the Old Town as a medieval fortified peninsula with 15th-century ramparts, and Wikipedia notes the walls, towers, gates and a citadel that were restored after the 1979 earthquake, with reconstruction completed by 1987. The whole of Budva is walkable in about 20 minutes end to end, according to Wikivoyage, which makes the Old Town an easy base.

Becici

Rafailovici

  • beach
  • coastal walks

Rafailovici lies along the coast between Becici and Sveti Stefan. Wikivoyage mentions coastal hiking and a bus route to Sveti Stefan along this stretch of the Budva Riviera, so it works for those who want to step away from Budva itself.

Petrovac

The official tourism site describes Petrovac as a peaceful family beach destination with scheduled summer events. It lies south-east of Budva and works for visitors who want a quieter resort.

Getting around Budva

Tivat Airport is 20 km north-west of Budva according to Wikipedia, which Wikivoyage also gives as 20 km, and Wikivoyage puts Podgorica Airport 65 km away. Wikipedia notes that Tivat's traffic is highly seasonal, with 80 percent of passengers during the May to September season. Wikivoyage also lists Dubrovnik airport in Croatia about 80 km away.

Wikivoyage says the bus station is a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and lists connections to regional cities including Sarajevo, Belgrade and Herceg Novi. Bus services run along the coast to nearby places including Sveti Stefan.

The town is compact and walkable, but to explore Becici, Rafailovici, Sveti Stefan and Petrovac you will want buses, taxis or a hire car. The official tourism site also lists public transport information and boat services from the Budva dock.

Living in Budva for longer

For a longer stay, an apartment with a kitchen is convenient because you can eat in away from the beach restaurants. The Old Town and Slovenska are within the walkable town, while Becici, Rafailovici and Petrovac are along the coast and are reached by bus or taxi.

Wikivoyage notes that summer dominates tourist activity, with theatre, music events and entertainment programmes throughout the season.

The area offers 35 beaches, 8 of them blue-flag, along with boat trips, paragliding and coastal hiking, per Wikivoyage, so a week or more gives you time to try different stretches of coast.

When to visit Budva

Wikipedia describes a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, with a January mean of 8.3 degrees C and a July mean of 25.2 degrees C, and its climate data show winter as the wettest season. Summer is the main tourist season, when Wikivoyage lists theatre, music and entertainment events.

The official tourism site lists a calendar of events including an international carnival, beach music festivals, Petrovac Night and other concerts. Check the calendar for the year you travel, since exact dates change.

The settlement is about 2,500 years old according to Wikipedia, with a walled Old Town on a peninsula, and the town proper has 17,479 inhabitants (2023) within a municipality of 26,667. For other bases on the coast, look at Kotor or browse the whole of Montenegro.
