The Budvanska rivijera

Budva, known as the "Montenegrin Miami", is the capital of Montenegrin tourism. Sandy beaches, bays, cliffs, islands and reefs as well as a vibrant nightlife make Budva the most famous coastal tourist resort in Montenegro. With a history of over 2500 years, Budva is one of the oldest settlements Mediterranean.
One of the legends recounts that Budva was founded by Cadmus the Phoenician, a hero exiled out of Thebes, Greece, finding a shelter in this place for him and his wife, Harmonia.



With over 35 alluring beaches (8 of them marked with blue flags) and very popular among youth for its nightlife, the city is increasingly turning into the most attractive tourist destination in Montenegro. The beaches are clean, so that you can swim in its waters or take a stroll along the shores. Among other activities that can be done are walkings by, meeting locals and their culture, and try traditional cuisine in a warm and welcoming ambience.



There is a wide range of places to eat in Budva's Old Town. Here you will find almost everything from restaurants, bakeries to seafood and Chinese restaurants. Also on the promenade, you can find fast food restaurants that offer Giros, pancakes, slices of pizza, ice cream, and more.
