Budva Walking Tour
Budva, Montenegro
Why Walk Budva
Budva's old town (Stari Grad) is a compact walled settlement on a small peninsula, with narrow streets of stone buildings, churches, and small squares. The Citadela, a fortress at the peninsula's tip, offers views along the dramatic Montenegrin coast. The old town was severely damaged in a 1979 earthquake and meticulously rebuilt, and today it buzzes with restaurants, bars, and boutiques. Outside the walls, the waterfront promenade connects to popular beaches including Mogren Beach, reached through a tunnel in the cliff, and the famous Sveti Stefan — a fortified island village turned luxury hotel, visible from the coastal path. The Budva Riviera stretches for 35 km of beaches and coves. The summer season brings the GRAD Theatre City festival, transforming the old town into an open-air performance venue.
