History of Budva

Historic Property Budva Old Town
Historic Information about Budva

Budva is over 2,500 years old and one of the oldest urban centres around the Adriatic Sea. Stari Grad (Old Town of Budva) impresses with its wonderful architectural buildings, churches and streets. The architecture in the Old Town is based of Venetian styles.

The town is based on a small peninsula and represents a treasure chest of culture heritage. The walls of the Old Town are still intact and were built in the Middle Ages when this region was ruled by the Venetians.

You will find many shops, cafés, restaurants and galleries in small romantic streets. Originally it was built on an island and became during the last centuries a peninsula. 

Budva has many different tales and stories of its history. Historians find out that is was originally an island, which later joined the shore to form a sand isthmus. Budva was discovered by a Greek sailor by the name of Boutoua.
Historic Window of Church

Doors, hinges, windows, balconies and many other small but noticeable things seem to belong to Roman style. There are also three main churches in the old town. Discover these very old churches in the old town like the Church Sv. Trojica, housing the tomb of the exquisite writer Stjepan Mitrov Ljubisa, the Churches of Sv. Ivan, Sv. Bogorodica and Sv. Sava.

Budva has a small museum located in the fortress. It is near an archaelogical site where 4th to 6th century basilicas were uncovered. The museum has two presentation rooms – one displays artifacts that were recovered, and in the other room you will find historic and contemporary paintings by local artists.

Overview
Budva is the party capital of Montenegro. Sexy girls from all over Eastern Europe and Russia come to party here for sun and fun. Not only is this place rockin’, the old town is utterly adorable. It’s easy to fall in love with it’s  narrow cobblestone streets and quaint town squares. Between here and Kotor, I rate Montenegro the most charming spot in Eastern Europe. That said, I must give you guys a stern warning:
DO NOT COME HERE DURING LOW SEASON. Cue tumble weed.
The Girls
Typical local talent

Get ready for hormonal overload. First you got the Russians, Ukrainian, Polish & Balkan babes on holiday, then you got models and trophy WAGSimported from the yachts of rich playboys. I mean seriously? As for the locals, Montenegrins are quite similar to Serbs. Coming from Albania, you will notice a lot more blondes and lighter shades. They are quite tall and tend to dress more stylish. They look hostile, but that’s just their designer sunglasses and a Balkan bitch shield. Get behind that and you’ll find the locals girls are really open and sweet. Online game is limited, purely because of the small population of the country. In truth, Budva is probably not the best place to get your flag, unless you commit your self to day game, picking up waitresses, shop girls etc. Go to the capital Podgorica or Tivat (beside Kotor) if you really want to have the local experience.

Nightlife Recommendations
Budva’s night-life is polemic for a such condensed area. After hours the old town bars wind down and people head to the clubs just outside the city walls. My best advice, avoid Sparta. It’s a fucking shit-hole. That said, Budva has some fantastic places to go out…
Trocaderos
This open air club is the main party place in Budva. Expect plenty of pumpin’ tunes and nubile talent. This place is rockin’ till 5am.  Need I say more? You need to check this place out. But in my opinion, it’s not a patch on…
Haciendas!
This is my kind of place! It may not have the reputation of Trocaderos but this is one my favourite spots in the whole of Eastern Europe. It looks like a hybrid of a Caribbean cocktail bar, a tree house and an Arabic opium den. Expect hammocks, hookahs and hip shakin’ EE girls dancing to a live salsa band. When this place has a bit of a crowd, it’s unbeatable. A great place to meet women.
;)
Getting High
No info available. You will have to bring your own in from Belgrade, Croatia or even better, Macedonia.
My Budva Experience
I was here for 2 nights with 3 friends and loved it. However, it was the tail end of the season so it was really subdued (mid-September). One night we made a big mistake and ended up in Sparta. It was a sausage-fest and the bouncers prevented you leaving your table to talk to girls.. WTF? The last night we discovered Haciendas. It blew my mind and I had one the best nights of my holiday. I ended up dancing with an Israeli/Belarusian girl and bringing her home for a marathon sex session.  A new flag aside, it was an amazing night that expanded my sexual frontiers.  I also met up with a local Montenegrin girl in Kotor the next day, but that’s another story.. Bottom line – I’d go back to Budva in a heartbeat, but I’d return when there’s a few more people around (June – August).
