Budva city guide: what to see and where to stay

Inside the Old Town

Behind the fortress doors

In the summer from the door to the Njegoševa street or the beach near the walls you can get by foot. For nighttime it is more important another distance — from the window of the bedroom to the nearest terrace. Listen to the gate in the evening with an open window. Behind the neighboring turn the hearing may already be different.

In the winter, go from the door to the store where you are going to buy products. In the old house, check what the bedroom is heated and where to put a wet wheel. If you come with your baggage, know in advance which door you will get a taxi.

From the market to the waterfront

For a family without a car, the green market by TQ Plaza makes a useful starting point. In winter, try carrying groceries back to the house. You will soon notice any steps or a detour around the block to reach a crossing.

On a summer evening, stand below the window of the room where you would sleep. Listen for music and voices from the terraces on the waterfront. By the market, listen in the morning when deliveries arrive. Ask whether the lease covers the summer: some nearby flats are offered only until May.

Gospoština and Babin Do

From the beach home to the mountain

In Gospoština the beach near the old walls can become a place for a short swimming before work. In Babin Do you see where the house is relative to the coast. In summer, it is much easier to get down easily than to get up back in the heat with a child and a beach bag.

In winter, walk back from the centre after rain and again at dusk. With a pushchair, every flight of steps matters. If you plan to sleep with the window open, listen to cars on the last bend by the house.

Rozino

A school morning near the bus station

Rozino is worth looking at the one with whom the child learns at Dositejeva, and the adults ride between the cities. Here is a clear starting point — the bus station at Popa Jola Zeca, 9. In winter pass from the entrance to the school gates in the morning when the classes go. See if the child crosses the entrance to the station.

In the summer, the window to the entrance street is worth comparing with the windows in the yard. While you wait for a view, listen to whether the bus motors are heard in the bedroom. To travel to the beach find the necessary local line stop in advance.

Podkošljun, Velji Vinogradi and Babylonija

School on Babylonia, the sea behind the bulvar

For a family without a car in these neighborhoods there is a precise orientation — the second school on Babylonija 19. In winter, a house on the comfortable side of the street with an ongoing trail can save two routes every school day. Take the child to watch and let him show himself where he would start to go.

In summer, walk from the building to Slovenska plaža. Note the crossing over the boulevard and any stretch without shade. Compare a bedroom facing the road with one facing the courtyard: evening noise varies even within the same block.

Dubovica and Golubovina

Dubovica at the slope, Golubovina at Old Bakery

In Dubovica, start at Mega Mall on Žrtava fašizma. If the building is uphill, walk the last climb with your shopping. In Golubovina, listings often use The Old Bakery as a landmark. Allow time to leave the building and wait for the lift.

In the summer evening listen to the yard and the road separately. In the winter, make your route to the school at Dositejeva in the light and back in the darkness. If you choose a housing for a year, clarify the corpus and entrance — the mark of the whole complex says little about your way home.

Podmaine, Podostrog and Lazi

Around Parma, above the monastery and in Lazi

In the Podmaine apartment near the gril of Parma and the studio above the monastery give two different ways to home. In the summer you go down to the Podmaine monastery by foot and continue to the very entrance. The last rise is ⁇ noticeable on the reverse way from the sea. For Podostrog ask to show the whole approach from the street you will return.

For the family in Lazi the starting point can be the second school on Babylonija 19. In winter pass from it home after classes and see if the turns are illuminated. In the summer listen to the nearest road from the balcony. The silence here is better to be assessed by a particular house, especially if the bedroom is on the rise.

Bečići: along the promenade to the beach, into town for school

If the summer passes by the sea, the lower Bečići is comfortable with the wheelchair: along the beach you can get to Rafailovići, and through the tunnel at Zawala — to the side of Budva. The apartment above the highway has the same beach on the map, but home will have to climb. In Ivanovići you will pass the last area after swimming, with a bag and a child.

For a winter stay with a schoolchild, start at Boreti or Hotel Putnik, both on the route towards Budva. Check the first lesson, the walk from the town stop to school and the bus home after activities. For an address in Bečići, ask Druga osnovna škola at Babilonija 19 about enrolment.

Rafailovići: from the jetty to the bus stop

The water is comfortable to live for those who go on the beach in the summer walk. Dinner on the beach and sleeping on the restaurant terrace are two different impressions from one house. Listen to the bedroom in the evening. In the upper houses check how many stairs between the beach and the entrance.

In winter, begin at Rafailovići stop. Buses from Petrovac and Sveti Stefan towards Budva serve it. If your child studies in town, walk from your door to the stop and then from the Budva stop to the school gates. Return by bus in the evening. With groceries, the last stretch home from the highway can be the hardest.

Schools and addresses · Stops on the coastal bus routes

Pržno: a bay below the highway and buses on two different roads

In the summer, you can spend a day walking between the beach and the coastline. If the house is in Podlicak or above the highway, see where to cross the road on the opposite path and if there are stairs. At the water listen to the terrace under the window, at the highway — the stream of cars.

If you are considering the Russian-speaking «Compas», first learn where your class is: Pržno was mentioned in the school ads, and on its website indicated the address in Budva. How to contact Kompas school and what to check before renting.

For school in Budva, check both directions. The landmarks on the lower road by the Maestral differ from those at the highway junction. Our guide has photographs and map points for both. In winter compare the buses with your school timetable and try a weekday evening walk from the stop to the shops.

Petrovac. for lessons you can go in the city itself

The difference between the first line and the house above the center is felt on the opposite way from the beach. For winter, choose two addresses — your arrival and school Mirko Srzentić on Brežine bb. Go the way after the rain and fix the registration in the secretariat. For a family with school and work here, a daily trip to Budva may not be required at all.

If work or school is in Budva, time the walk from your door to Petrovac (Centar). The operator’s timetable of 3 November 2026 lists the first two departures from Petrovac at 06:40 and 09:10. Missing the first means a wait of two and a half hours. For the trip home, take a bus to Petrovac; the Sveti Stefan service terminates before it.

Jaz, Prijevor and Seoca

Here first choose the way of movement. View on the shore does not guarantee a walk-out to the beach. Really a road from home and safe access is needed; walking around the highway should not be considered a normal daily route.

Check water, internet, arrival, parking and shopping trips. For a seasonal bus, specify the working dates, not just the line on the map.
