altstadt (old town) budva

We did a day trip from Dubrovnik. Weather was good to us and walked around the old city. The bay was lovely and loads of people enjoying the sun. Food was amazing and lots of it.

Definitely worth the trip to Budva, this Old Town of narrow alleyways and little quaint shops and tavernas is nothing short of amazing.Relax after a long walk around at a beachfront cafe and enjoy a cold drink or for a more formal affair there are a fewmore upmarket restaurants just outside the old town walls on the harbour.

Old Town Budva is small but has some nice treasures to explore. It also offers some excellent panorama views of the sea and the seashore. It really only take about an hour or two to see what Budva's Old Town has to offer but it is definitely worth a stop. The citadel is pretty interesting.

it was really nice going around walking amidst little shops and places to sit..following old narrow streets lined by stone walls eventually looking unto scenic views of the adriatic ..just nice to walk there on a hot summer day reminiscing on the ancient past and enjoying the moment

Budva Stari Grad is a cute little town in with a lot of nice cafes, shops, bars end restaurants. Right outside the city wall you can enjoy a coffee or a beer on the sea front, really amazing view combined with the charming small town-feeling.

Budva offers, especially the old town, great small taverns and beach bars for drink and food. Due to heavy wind, we found a small shop where we bought a hats for our heads. In Old Town you can chill on the seafront, our recommendation is Astoria beachfront bar.

Very nicely renovated area. lots of small shops and cafes. In October it was very nice - but i presume it is overcrowded in summer!

If you end up in Budva, it is only logical to go walk through the old city and get a feel for it. Watch out for the season, it gets crowded.

Very nice and pretty walking around in the old town. Quite charming with rather expensive and some less expensive shops. Open till late. Great views from the citadel.

A charming old town with a number of churches, a museum and a citadel to explore. Budva old town is smaller than nearby Kotor and its shops and restaurants seemed rather expensive. However a pleasant place to spend half a day.

Once you enter one of the city gates you're in a pedestrian-only town. The main streets are lined with restaurants and (expensive) stores aimed at the tourists. Once you get past them, there are churches and residences on the side streets. The entire Old Town area is very small.

Budva old town is sweet and small. After seeing many old towns it didn’t stick out to me as particularly special, but it was lovely to spend an hour walking around and enjoy lunch on the ocean. I would go out of my way to see this old town, but on route it was a lovely stop. The beach right on the old town is small and a bit crowded, for a nicer beach i would recommend going a little bit further out. I found the restaurant staff knew English well at most places but the shop staff often spoke in the local language which was lovely but just be aware. I would recommend just an hour to wander the streets, and make sure you get off the main shop streets and see some of the little alleys where people still live. The houses are so sweet and the streets narrow. As a single female traveler I felt very safe here on my own and no one bothered me.

Easily done by bus from Kotor in 40 minutes thanks to a new tunnel underneath Lovćen mountain. Budva is a fairly bustling seaside town, popular with locals and historically Russian holidaymakers but growing numbers of British and other Europeans have now latched on to it. A huge marina lies one side of the old, walled town and row upon row of sun beds and loungers on the other side.At the far end of the marina is an impressive street market, massive for the town it serves. Don't buy overpriced souvenirs from inside the city walls until you've checked out the market for better options.I paid a small fee to walk the (almost completely intact) city walls, offering great views of the streets below and the various entry gates into the old fortified city. The citadel was interesting, but overpriced, and only took 20-25 minutes to explore. The lovely thing for me is just wandering aimlessly in the old winding streets below, stumbling upon hidden courtyards and piazzas and even some old Roman remains such as Villa Urbana.Best thing of all was a gelato stand just outside the walls offering no less than 48 flavours of the most delicious ice cream this side of Verona! Awesome.It turns out I'd just missed a music festival including Jamiroquai and Underworld, but hey, you can't win them all ;)Plenty of places to stay in the old town and newer suburbs but I was quite glad to escape the music and crowds and return to (comparatively) sedate Kotor after a fantastic day on the Adriatic coast. The bus station is some way from the old town but the very good tourist office nearby provided me with an excellent free map so no problems finding my way back. A great day.

The old town is situated on the sea front in Budva next to the beach and harbour. Whilst its much smaller than Kotor as others have said it is very quaint and has a lot of charm. Plenty of shops and restaurants to grab something to eat.

After visiting Kotor and other old towns in the Balkans I think I was old towned out by the time I reached Budva. It is small and quaint and has been almost entirely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake. It is right on the sea with the usual collection of cafes and shops.
