Budva is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic, with a history of more than 2,500 years. Its present look dates mostly from the long period of Venetian rule, when the walls, gates and fortifications were built. After the earthquake of 1979 the town was carefully rebuilt stone by stone.
Inside the walls you will find the Citadel, with views over the sea, the churches of St John, the Holy Trinity and Santa Maria in Punta, and small beaches tucked beneath the ramparts.
Visit in the morning before the crowds, and follow the walk along the water to the statue of the Dancer and Mogren beach.
