Carnival in Spring, theater during the summer, mass tourism until fall. It is quit only during the winter. But then almost no hotel or shop is open. Whoever seeks peaceful recreation has to look someplace else. The town is pure Mediterranean life. 

Budva is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic. The history dates back more than 2600 years. The foundations were laid by Beotije Kadmo, son of the Phoenician King Agenor and the Queen Telofosa. During the earthquake in 1979 the town was completely destroyed  but nothing reminds anymore of the catastrophe. Almost all buildings were reconstructed in the original way.
