Before exploring Budva Old Town, it’s helpful to be prepared for a few essentials. The cobblestone streets can be uneven, so wearing comfortable shoes is highly recommended. Cash in euros is often preferred by local shops and attractions, and small entrance fees may apply to landmarks like the Citadel. Summers can be hot, so sunscreen, a hat, and water are essential for staying comfortable. The town gets crowded during peak season, particularly in July and August, making early morning or late afternoon visits more pleasant. Don’t miss the chance to capture stunning photos from the Citadel and savor delicious local seafood at charming restaurants nearby.

Budva Old Town is easily accessible on foot if you're staying in central Budva. From the nearby beaches and resorts, it’s just a short walk along the seaside promenade. Taxis are also available if you're coming from further afield, and parking is available near the town's entrance.

The best time to visit is during the spring and autumn months when temperatures are pleasant and the streets are less crowded. In summer, early mornings or evenings are ideal to explore comfortably. Many shops and restaurants remain open late into the evening during the peak season, allowing for a charming night visit.

Pair your visit to Budva Old Town with a trip to Sveti Stefan, a luxurious island village just a 15-minute drive away. Alternatively, explore Kotor Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site about an hour away by car. For beach lovers, Jaz Beach and Mogren Beach are nearby spots where you can unwind after exploring the Old Town.
