All about Budva
When to Visit
The best time to visit Budva is from May to September when the Mediterranean sun is at its peak, and the Adriatic Sea is warm for swimming. July and August are the busiest months, offering a vibrant atmosphere and various cultural events, including the renowned Budva Theatre City Festival. For those looking to avoid crowds, the shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn offer pleasant weather and a more tranquil experience.
Getting Around
Budva is easy to navigate on foot, especially within the compact Old Town and along the seaside promenade. Buses and taxis are readily available for exploring nearby areas like Sveti Stefan or Petrovac. Renting a bike or car provides flexibility, but be prepared for heavy traffic during peak summer months. Boat tours are popular for visiting coastal attractions and enjoying scenic views of the Riviera.
Traveler Tips
Pack sunscreen and comfortable footwear for exploring both beaches and cobblestone streets. Visit early in the day to beat crowds, especially during the summer. Try local seafood dishes like grilled octopus and Mediterranean-style mussels. Many restaurants accept cards, but carry cash for smaller vendors.
