Budva Old Town

Budva’s Old Town is a small walled medieval settlement on a peninsula, with stone churches, narrow lanes, and a citadel overlooking the Adriatic. Free to walk. The old town is compact enough to explore in an hour but atmospheric enough to spend an evening. The beaches on either side of the peninsula are public and free. Budget travelers base themselves in Budva for access to the Montenegrin coast and explore the old town between swims.

Sveti Stefan Viewpoint

Sveti Stefan is a fortified island village connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, now a luxury resort closed to non-guests. The viewpoint from the road above is free and delivers one of the most iconic images on the Montenegrin coast: the terracotta rooftops of the island village against the blue Adriatic.
