Nestled on the serene Adriatic Sea coast in Montenegro, Budva beckons with its blend of rich history and modern charisma. This medieval city, renowned for its dazzling beaches and vibrant nightlife, is a magnet for both history lovers and party enthusiasts. It is home to splendid stone walls, narrow streets, and squares of Budva Old Town, an authentic part of the Mediterranean spirit, exhibiting centuries-old traditions. Moreover, Budva brims with an array of luxury resorts, delightful seafood restaurants, and energetic clubs that endorse it as the 'Montenegrin Miami'. Known for the Summer Theatre Festival and the iconic Ballet Dancer Statue, Budva ensures a unique travel experience, breathing in the beauty of the past and the thrill of the present.

Montenegro, nestled in the stunning Southeastern Europe, is a captivating destination that combines the beauty of crystalline Adriatic Sea with rugged mountain landscapes. Renowned for its diverse and dramatic scenery, this European gem is a melting pot of majestic mountains, breathtaking beaches, pristine lakes and beautiful woods. Famous for its historic walled towns such as Kotor, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Venetian fortifications, Montenegro offers a unique blend of cultural and natural attractions. From the sun-soaked beaches of the Budva Riviera, to the wildlife-rich National Parks, such as Durmitor, and the mesmerizing beauty of the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro presents endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Additionally, Montenegro's rich history is visible in its Byzantine-era monasteries and Roman mosaics, offering a fascinating journey through time for history enthusiasts.

Montenegro

When traveling to Montenegro, it is advised by the governments of the United States, Canada, and Australia to exercise normal precautions. This means you should remain vigilant about your personal safety and security as you would in any other destination.

I am disabled and this is the first time in my travels that I have felt physically unsafe. I have had to pay very close attention when out going anywhere. They drive on sidewalks, don’t observe crosswalks and generally have no regards for pedestrians. It has been stressful for me to do anything due to feeling in physical jeopardy just walking with my cane. If you are not in a WC then you are not disabled. I move slow which seems to frustrate Montenegrins but it is what it is. They also smoke everywhere and at all times even on the bus, in the stores, literally everywhere is consumed with cigarette smoke, I have never smoked in my life and smoke causes my allergies to flare so I spend time decongesting myself from going to the store for groceries.

Just returned from 3 weeks in Montenegro and Serbia. We loved there are still some places in the world that are rough around the edges. We restricted our coastal time to 5 nights in Kotor - stunning despite the cruise ships and crowds - you just need to step away a little.

We weren't looking for a beach so I suppose that colours your experience.

Our day trip to Budva by local bus was seriously underwhelming - nice old town but otherwise not impressed.

Speedboat trip to the Blue Cave and around the bay from Kotor was great.
