"1) Old Town
A 2,500-year-old city with a well-preserved medieval walled city centre. Very charming, full of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. If there is a festival in the city, it will most likely take place in the market square just outside the entrance to the Old Town.
2) Seaside walk to Kamenov.
I've done this walk many times and each time I thought about how beautiful the views are. You can start at the Budva port or take the bus to Kamenovo (bus stop at Kusta Konoba). Kamenovo beach and Becicka beach are connected by an underground tunnel that adds charm to the whole walk.
I recommend visiting the Zavala viewpoint, which offers a panoramic view of the Becicka beach with the mountains in the background.
3) Mogren Beach.
After visiting the Old Town, I recommend going to the beach at the Astoria Hotel and turning right. After passing a small tunnel, you will see a coastal path. Just follow it to the end but be careful as it can be slippery and the fence is missing in a few places.
4) Kosmac Fortress
Although not exactly in the city of Budva, it is still easily accessible by car and public transport (the bus to CETINJE stops nearby, just tell the driver where you want to get off). Even if you're not a history buff, you'll have a great view of the coast and some peace and quiet from here.
5) Mogren Fortress
About a 30-minute walk from the old town, this fortress offers great views of the coast. On a clear day you can see as far as Ulcinj! There is also a path leading to Mogren Beach 2.
6) Visit Hawaii island by boat.
I couldn't find the official name of this small island, but I was told that boats go there regularly during the season. It is possible to go out of season, just ask at the port. I was given a quote of 30 euros for a round trip, but unfortunately the weather did not allow for boating. You can walk around the island and enjoy the peaceful beach. There is also a seafood restaurant."

"Budva is known for its beaches and nightlife, but it has so much more to offer. From a fortified Stari Grad with ancient ruins to high-end restaurants, Budva is a city that weaves together the old and the new. "
