- Join us as we visit Budva, Montenegro in this travel guide covering locals eats, top attractions and the best things to do in Budva during your trip. Visiting in the off-season meant exploring the Old Town was an uncrowded affair. We had the incredible Citadel to ourselves, wandered along the coast and got lost in the small maze of the walled city. For Montenegrin cuisine we grabbed food along the waterfront with great views and a bit of brisk breeze in late fall. Overall, we had a pleasant visit and would recommend taking a day trip here from Kotor or even stay a few nights if your schedule allows for it.

10 Things to do in Budva, Montenegro Travel Guide (Будва) Video Transcript:
Good morning good morning guys. Greetings from Budva, Montenegro. Budva! So this is our second stop in Montenegro. Yeah. We left Kotor behind and what was it like 30 or 40 minute bus ride. Yeah, ridiculously close. Yep. Probably our shortest travel day. Yeah. So far. And we're also really close to the Old Town. Like our apartment is a 15 minute walk. Yeah. So we've just walked down here and we're going to show you some different things you can in Budva in this travel guide. But first breakfast. Breakfast of course.
Budva is a popular resort town that sits on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, so we started the morning off with a walk along the harbour where you can see everything from little fishing boats to luxury yachts. Though Budva is very close to Kotor, it has a very different feel so we’re going to take you on a quick day tour of the city and show you what it’s all about.
Budva Old Town Beach may not be the prettiest to swim in, but you do get some nice views of the walled city with St. Ivan’s Church peeking above the fortifications, but now let’s continue up the coast.
If you keep walking west along the coast, you’ll first come across the Ballerina Statue, also nicknamed Yoga Girl, keep following that path and it’ll bring you to Mogren Beach and Mogren 2, which are a bit sandier and less pebbly than the beach in the Old Town.
The Old Town of Budva is situated on a rocky peninsula, with the citadel located on the southern tip of the city. There isn’t a lot of information about the site once you enter, but it’s worth the visit for the views of the Old Town alone.
And that’s pretty much it for our tour of Budva. As you can see, the Old Town is quite small and compact, so you could easily cover it in half a day if you only had time for a day trip. We hope you enjoyed this quick tour and we’ll see you in the next video!

In Europe coffees are small but so packed with punch and flavor. I swear I crave those coffees when I come back home. Only crappy coffees in the US.
Hey im am from Montenegro , Budva and this video is very good but Budva in the summer is AMAZING 😉
IM from budva too it is beautiful
Right now, while I'm quarantined here at my house for weeks and it will still be for quite some time, I am trying to deflate and plan a scooter trip to the Balkans, with the intention of spending most of the weather in Montenegro (probably in Kotor). A curiosity: how is Podgorica? I have not seen many photos since I am more interested in the coast, but the ones I have seen do not make it seem something particularly beautiful.
I very much hope to be able to make this crazy trip (as I like to do) in Montenegro.
Greetings from Sanremo, Liguria, Italy!

Budva is always amazing
I was there in 1981 and in 1987. Had fried Calamari there for the first time in my life. They were quite nice! I remember a sign at the beach pointing towards the island. The sign said Hawaii. 😁
Love how you guys are always petting puppies and kittens. :)
Thank you! We love meeting friendly cats and dogs :)
It can be really, really dangerous though.
Hi! I just spent 8 days in Montenegro with a wonderful family who guided us from Dubrovnik, Croatia to the Albanian border. The food was amazing, the weather wonderful, and the seawater an absolute joy to swim in! My wife and I loved it and will go back again someday. We also went on an inner trip to a high mountain peak where there was a tomb and a restaurant to visit. The surrounding villages were peaceful and quiet. The people were always helpful, and I felt safe which is important to everyone I suspect. We also went to Paris and I did not come away with the same impression. Lyon, France, on the other hand, was better IMO. Peace and happiness to you both!😎🌺
Thank you! That is awesome to hear about your trip.
Word soon spread throughout the village that Sam and Audrey were coming.....LOCK UP THE CHURCHES ! Ha ha.
Nice work guys !
Jim.
Thanks Jim! LOL, exactly. They must have heard in advance trouble was coming into town ;)
Love the rocky landscapes in Budva. I would be taking so many photographs.
Budva is beautiful, fantastic nature ... thanks to video set-up and a greeting from Canada - Montenegro! :-)
Thank you!
Very romantic and cool Budva. Beautiful !
Thank you! We were fortunate to visit when it was not busy.
Budva is one of the best hidden secrets in Europe. Of course the experience in off season will be different compared to July and August. It is the new Ibiza/Party town. Budva has 35 beaches, so half day would not cut it. The New York Times called Budva the #1 must visit place in 2018, I am not the biggest fan of that because I like it the way it is and I think every year it is getting more popular. Last year was really busy, so we will see how it will be this year.
Jadran is good, if you walk thru the restaurant, on the other end is the beer and bike bar that is rather popular. Same owner has a also a restaurant in Sveti Stefan that is rather good and Sveti Stefan area is spectacular.
Point of my long post, come back in the summer, I show you around!
Edit: I should mention that there is a cat museum in the old town of Kotor, one of the strangest museums I have ever been too,lol
Alex Rajcevic Ive been to montenegro stayed in becici for a week and I can confirm Jadran was a good ass restaurant, recomment the oysters and thr cat museum is worth the 5 euros haha, funny stuff
I love how food is such a priority for you guys! Just love that about you. Really enjoying your Montenegro videos.
By the way, your interest in dogs and cats.. such an added bonus! I am a dog owner myself and I get so happy to see you petting and feeding the strays.. Really adorable!
Thank you very much! Food is a big reason we still enjoy traveling so much. Ah, we feel really fortunate to have these encounters with cats and dogs since we can't have one of our own at the moment.
You should had a grill platter though at Jadran or at least Civapcici at one of the fast food shops. I am living on Civape
The beach looks chilly but still beautiful!
Thank you! We had some really nice walks along the beach. It must be absolutely wonderful in the summer when it is warmer.
Summer is way different
Budva may not be beautiful now on the winter but you need to see it on summer it's very beautiful I talking from experience cuz I live their
Would love to visit when it is warmer.
I love Budva...I love Kotor...I LOVE ALL MONTENEGRO
Great to hear! We miss being there.

Thank you! We enjoyed visiting :)
Sam and audrey, really appreciating your video quality! I've mentioned it before as well but couldn't help it! You're doing such a wonderful job of describing as well as capturing such stunning views..
Thank you! We were really spoiled going down the coast in both Croatia and Montenegro. Loved the views, vibes and laid back atmosphere.
I love this country, I spent 3 months there, Podgorica, Budva, Kotter... Everything was beautiful in Montenegro ❤️
Wow! You really covered it well!
Montenegro Citizen
Cetinje..Kotor...Perast is so nice...Romantic...
I love this city! I was there in September 2015 and really enjoyed the citycenter and citadela.
That is really cool to hear!
im from Budva.Thank you for visiting us!
That is cool to hear! Thank you. We really enjoyed visiting.
I live in podgorica but I love budva.It is beautiful city and very different😍
We didn't see any cats when we were there! #jealous ;) Amazing to see Budva again through you guys. - Anna
Thank you! Most of them were nearby the beach but we also encountered a group in the Old Town on one day. But we didn't see them everyday though.
Awesome video, as always 👍👍
Love the drone footage
Thank you very much!
Just wanted to thank you for your videos - My wife and I followed many of your recommendations for our tour around the Adriatic on our honeymoon 2 years ago! Also, thanks for replying to our questions.
Thanks Shaun! That is awesome to hear. Did you have any favourite spots on that trip?
I like the lanscapes from the drone
Thanks! It was so nice to have it up and flying again :)
I beg you.. Samuel and Audrey Please don't stop eating...!! Love your EnthusiasM
Thank you! We sure do love our food...haha
Your pronunciation was accurate! The best of all the bloggers so far! Nice video btw!
Budva looks amazing but it got better with both of you there.Now I think of it a better place to visit. Thanks for the video! 😊
Thank you! We really enjoyed visiting in the off-season without the crowds.
As im watching this video i'm also googling Budva, and since some of my neighbors visited Montenegro last year I now know why they were so amazed. This town seems to have some pretty darn awesome looking beaches outside of the town. And as I can see Jaz, Kamenovo, Sveti Stefan are totally awesome. Anyway great video guys.
Thank you very much! There are a lot of cool places to visit nearby.
If you are planning to visit go in summer. Fall and winter isn’t really good time to visit 😍
Love the yoga moves! Budva looks lovely. Definitely looking forward to having seafood when we're there 😋
Schönes Grüße aus dem Western Australien.....Ich Liebe meine Montenegro
These are some killer drone shots! Nice! Btw, I think we all need a cat intermission in every video :)
Thank you! Hahaha...drone footage + cat intermissions. Could be our new niche ;)
When checking out places we are visiting through cruising I'm always surprised to see you have been there as well, your videos and information are excellent, I feel I know you both.
Budva looks like a beautiful place to visit, you filmed the area this nicely and the information you provide is very useful. Have a good weekend and safe travels wherever you are at the moment. Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.
Thank you very much! Have a great weekend and visiting Budva in the off-season was a real treat.
You two are just fabulous!!!! I’m going to Kotor on 7th June, can’t wait, will try to visit Budvar. My cat Sweetie would love to meet you next time you’re in the UK!! 😻
Thank you very much! That is really exciting to hear. Hope you have a fabulous trip and Sweetie sounds adorable.
great video thank you

Thank you!
Awesome camera work too!
Thank you very much!
I went there last year!
Cool to hear! What time of year did you visit?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos June and July.
Nice video - but pleased to have booked a little earlier in the shoulder-season.
For sure! We got there a little too late and it was a bit too quiet.
5:59 Parece que dios también se toma vacaciones...Jaja!!!... saludos desde Paraná Entre Ríos Argentina
Jajaja! ¡Gracias! Fue un hermoso destino.
good videos and you are bout nice ... have fun...... P.S cats rules
Thank you! Cats are the best :)
Nice
Thanks!
11:55 the singers name is KNEZ, he actually represented Montenegro in Eurovision 2015, has lots of beautiful and great songs and is very known in the Balkans. Listen to Knez -Adio!
That is great to know!
I saw your vlog on rajasthani thali and I'm glad to say that you loved it. I think your passion is traveling and not earning. Great you both. God bless you. Tell me about what did you like about indian culture and people.
Love from India.......
Thank you! We loved the hospitality and friendliness and also the diversity in food and culture as you travel from one region to the next.
Can’t believe I missed out on Budva 😭😍
Oh, sorry to hear that but a good reason to come back again soon :)
Come back! I am there all summer
Hey Guys, I see you did a similar trip to what I'll be doing in Feb/March. Since you were there in off season too, do you think it's worth staying in both Kotor and Budva? Or should I just base myself in Kotor and do a day trip to Budva?
Thanks! That is exciting to hear. If you're pressed for time just stay in Kotor and do a day trip but otherwise both places might be nice.
You make it look better then it is :d
Ah, how would you describe it?
Well, it's hard to really describe it. But you show the best places in town, those that might be the most attractive for tourist. But if you go about 1km from the beach it doesn't look nearly as good. And the deeper you go - the worse it gets.
Have yhall been to Greece? I need to go look around your channel, but cat friends are also in abundance there!
Thanks! We visited Athens and Meteora in 2015 and plan to revisit again this year :)
Oo I was in Montenegro Budva 3-2 years ago,it was really nice but the hotel where I was wasnt giving the best food
Was there for the day - i preferred Kotor.
Same here although I'm still glad we visited Budva.
You can not compare the places. You go to Budva for beach and party, Kotor for your 50 th wedding anniversary and I love both places
"Jadran kod Krsta" = Jadran (as Adriatic) at Krsta (if Krsto is a name or Cross if it is Krst)
Thanks for explaining that!
Krsto is a name, my family firend :D
Noooo guys why did you come to budva in januari?! You should come again in juli/ august, you'll fall in love
Thanks! It would be nicer to visit during the warmer months.
You two must be a fan of bubbles look at those kitties.
We love cats!
That is actually really pretty. We are going in May but I wasn't really sure about it. We will only spend half a day there and then half the day in st. Stefan I believe it's called, and then off to Kotor. But it does actually look really beautiful.
Thanks! Oh, that is cool to hear. The weather should be lovely in May. A half a day is enough time to do everything we did. The Old Town is actually about as tiny as you can get but still fun to visit.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos That is great, your video's make me so excited 😅 I have watched a couple now. We are going to Dubrovnik, Split, Krka National Park, Trsteno, Mostar, the Vjetrenica cave, Budva and St. Stefan, Kotor, Brac island, Lokrum island and maybe a few tiny little islands and it is just so lovely seeing good quality video's about any of those places really, and the food is also very interesting. We did think that May would be perfect, not too hot but still warm and also still not in the main season so that will be great.
I think you've picked the best time to go and an added bonus is that it should be raining less as well. Looks like a cool itinerary!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos That is great to hear. We will be only going for 2 weeks but I stuffed the whole trip with awesome activities. And the fact that GoT filmed in a few places makes it even better for me personally 😂 But I definitely can't wait. I heard it's supposed to be a out 22 degrees most of the time in May, that sounds absolutely lovely.
Half day is crazy, I go for 6 weeks,lol. Sveti Stefan it is called and such a stunning area. Only 20 minutes from Budva, it is actually still Budva. As you can not access the island, there is a nice little restaurant by the beach, go upstairs for the views. From there walk towards Milocer, which is the Beverly Hills of Budva thru the pine forest for amazing views. It is a quick 15 min walk, just sit down along the way and take it all in. There is a shuttle bus between Budva and Sveti Stefan that runs every 10 min, could be less in May, just ask the driver
Montenegro is a small state and they should respect all tourists all year round and not to keep premises opened when busy. I've watched this video as I am planning to go in October. I think I am going some place else.
Kotor is more active
Hi, in which month did you'll visit budva?
We would have visited in November.
Are you planning to visit Cyprus?
Not on this particular trip but definitely would love to in the future.
Hello! What month were you in Budva?
We visited in late November.
@@samuelandaudrey Thank you!
Great lipstick! Source / cost???
I noticed that too. I think it's new for Audrey.
Hasinger Hase Stop making judgements about people you don't know.
Did you not visit Herceg Novi? Thant’s like going to Disneyland and only seeing the hotel. You missed the best part.
Hopefully next time!
What time of the year was this?
Late autumn.
Have you tried Macedonia and Albania?
Unfortunately we didn't get that far south on this trip. We sure want to visit in the future though.
I live in Montenegro
Cool! Where?
Did u go to Serbia too?
Unfortunately not on this trip. We'd like to next time.
That is how a cappuccino is SUPPOSED to be.
We just loved it!
BUDVAR - that would have looked great on a polo-shirt - but.....385 EURO!!!???? - OMG.....:-)
I know!!! It would have looked so nice next to the Jodhpur and Jaipur shirts ;)
BUDVAR - KOTOR - you can't make that kind of wardrobe up, Sam - that wardrobe would'a gone viral - would've slain, man.....you need to go back there and splash the cash, Sam.....asap.....:-)
Definitely a missed opportunity ;)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos .....of a lifetime.....☺
10:53 that kid.. what the
So many kitties, pls send me one, pls
Wish we could.
Give me some credit over here I'm in Kiev
That is awesome! How is it right now? Cold?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos its really not cold today its around 2oC witch is warmer than the other cities I have been to the snow is melting so its really wet But as for the city I am not having the best time but maybe tomorrow I will have a better day
I do not understand why people go to the Adriatic in the winter time. Ok let's say you do not like the crowd and you like peace and quiet but off season is very, very depressing especially when it is rainy and cloudy.
It is still relatively warmer than other places in Europe I suppose.
I understand that but the feel is totally different and the sea is also cold for swimming so you are missing on that experience as well.
But on the other hand I want to give you a big tumb up for your reviews. You are very detailed, prepared, you do a research, you try not to mispronounced the words, your editing is great. The only thing that I might not like is that you are very positive and dearly you have a negative critiques about anything. There must be something that you do not like. But you are Canadians and I probably understand why since Canadians are very polite in general.

the color of wine it should be!

:-)
:)
really beautiful city but the food is just aweful. be prepared for that.
Seems like cat central. Yoga girl is all about quality over quantity, lol.
Kotor and Budva have so many friendly cats :) Hahaha...indeed
ahahahahha, you did something what I do everyday in Budva, walikng around, then goes to drink a coffie, Jadran kod Krsta means, restoran is called Jadran, and Krsto iz owner, thank kod Krsta means somtheing like to Krsto, but it's stupid meaning on English, I think Budva is beautiful to visit in late spring, or at start of summer, other time, it's not interesting.
Oh, that is cool to hear! Walking around and having a coffee was our favorite thing :)
Dont know if i like your videos because you make great videos or because i love your girlfriend💖
Thanks! We're married now :)
You don’t go to the adriatic in January guys.
Good tip!
Are u making a good amount of money with youtube?
No, unfortunately you have to be a really big channel in order to be making good money. We appreciate what we earn but hope to grow more in the future.
Man im really making a mistake going to Budva tommorow it looks like its boring as shit
You come at totally wrong time in Budva...if you wanna enjoy without many many people best time is end of May beginning of Jun or end of August. If you wanna experience Budva IBIZA TIME best time is from 15 July and 10 August....there is no place in world like Budva in that time because its so small you dont need car to check everything and belive me you can party 24/7 on 5 different ways
Thanks for the suggestions. It would be nice to come back during those times.
@@samuelandaudrey Its totally different story...you visit Budva in the "worste" time BELIVE ME
Nice
Thanks!
