Begin beside Budva’s old walls

The proposed meeting point is by the main gate, in front of the Ancient Necropolis. From there, your guide introduces Budva on foot, following the old streets between its archaeological and religious landmarks.

The guide connects Budva’s more than 2,500 years of history with the streets and monuments visible today. Churches Square gives views towards the coast. The island boat trip takes in cliffs, beaches and the Adriatic shoreline.

The walking route includes the Roman Necropolis, Churches Square, St John’s Church, Holy Trinity, St Maria in Punta and the Citadel. Old-city entrance fees are included. The tour combines this introduction to the town with an outing on the water, rather than spending the whole visit inside the walls.

Board the boat for St Nikola

After the walk, continue towards the marina and board for St Nikola Island. Locally known as Hawaii, the island provides the coastal half of the experience, with time in the proposed programme for exploring and photographs before returning to Budva.

The island boat ride is included. The advertised duration is about three hours for the complete outing, although the operator can discuss changes to the proposed schedule.
