Budva's old town feels worlds away from the beach bars and dance clubs that sit just outside the fortified walls. This medieval town dates back more than 2000 years and walking through the labyrinth of alleys, squares, and corridors, is like taking a step back in time. Stay: Villa Neno Zec (B)

Take advantage of a free day in Budva to fill your time however you like.
