Altstadt (Old Town) Budva

Reviewed By SteveRainville99 - Orlando, United States

We wished we had more time there, as we only had 3 hours there, and that wasn't enough. This place is a miniature version of Dubrovnik, with so many cool little restaurants and stores. The streets are so narrow, and at every corner you find something so cool, like a beach, or a church just to name a few. I absolutely recommend spending a full day here!

The Budva city walls highlight one of the oldest settlements in the Adriatic Sea area. The walls and the ruins are awesome, and you can just imagine the battles, romances, discussions and other daily life activity that took place here. Take your time to walk the walls; the views are spectacular.

This 14th century church edifice, located in the village of Pobori, north of Budva, is associated with two very important dates in the history of Montenegro. These are the period when the priest school within the Monastery was attended by St. Peter of Cetinje, and the period of the 18th century when the first Montenegrin legal code was adopted here by voting.
