BUDVAWhere is it?Budva is a city on the Adriatic Coast in Montenegro in south-eastern Europe. Not many people know it but it’s very popular with millionaires! Budva has a long history – it’s 3,500 years old. It was a small fi shing village 50 years ago, but now rich people from Italy, Austria and Russia have houses in the town.

A historical townIt’s very old and beautiful. There’s an Old Town. Some people think this part of Budva was an island in the past. Now it’s part of the town. The Venetians (people from Venice) ruled the town from 1420 to 1797 and they built walls to defend the town from their enemies. These walls are now popular with tourists.

MusicIt’s also a great place for music and concerts. A lot of famous musicians go to play concerts there – the Rolling Stones played in 2007. 35,000 people came to see them and the town has only got 16,000 residents! Madonna and David Guetta also played in Budva.

Relax!There are lots of local beaches. Mogren Beach is very popular and is only 500 metres from the Old Town. The town’s got a Mediterranean climate so it’s usually warm and sunny.

How to get thereYou can fl y to Tivat or Podgorica airport or come by car along the Adriatic Highway.
