Budva is the “touristic capital” of Montenegro. It unites the two sides of Montenegrian life: the modern dynamic aspect and the ancient spirit that can leave no one indifferent.
Budva is one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic coast, with a history of about 2500 years. The first mention of a settlement here goes back to the 5th century B.C. when it was called Butou, and was believed to be founded by the son of the Phoenician king who ran here with his wife. For many centuries the settlement was placed just within the walls of the Old Town. Today the Old town remains on a peninsula and has all the attributes of an old Mediterranean city, with narrow streets, analogous buildings with red tiled roofs, numerous historical sights and monuments.
It is a real wonder that attracts tourists from all over the world throughout the year.
