Located on a beautiful stretch of the Adriatic coast, the old city of Budva is a tiny gem hemmed in between mundane pleasures of beach life. It is so small that visitors overflow the old city in the busy summer months.
While there are no canals in Budva, the streets remind you of the famous city on the northern end of the Adriatic, and so does the architecture of the houses. The walls surrounding the city were made by the Venetians, and offered protection against the Ottomans. And indeed, when you see the walls, integrated with the cliffs that rise steep from the sea, you can easily imagine the formidable protection this combination offered against any invaders. Budva was heavily damaged by an enemy against which no protection is possible - earthquakes - but it was rebuilt again. The old town does not only count several churches of varying interest, but also the citadel which can be climbed for great views all around the old town, as well as the coast and its packed beaches. Here you, once again, realize the special place the old town of Budva occupies in the midst of holiday pleasure offered everywhere around.
