Budva Old Town (Stari Grad) is a captivating walled medieval city perched on a small peninsula along the Adriatic coast. The walls you see today largely date from the Venetian period, spanning the 15th to 18th centuries. As you stroll through its narrow cobbled streets, you’ll encounter a delightful mix of Orthodox and Catholic churches, a small amphitheater, and the imposing Citadel fortress.

This historic core of Budva is easily walkable, allowing you to explore at your own pace. You can also start your journey to Mogren Beach and the scenic coastal path to the south right from here. Access is free, and you can enjoy the public streets around the clock, making it convenient to visit whenever you feel inspired to wander the marble lanes and take in the views. Expect to spend about 1 to 2 hours soaking in the rich history and vibrant atmosphere of the Old Town.
