Solo Travel in Budva

About Budva for Solo Travelers
Montenegro's Riviera crown — a compact medieval old town on a rocky peninsula above some of the Adriatic's clearest water, surrounded by beaches that rival anything in Croatia at half the price. Budva is livelier than Kotor, with a summer nightlife scene that draws crowds from across the Balkans, and a natural beauty that's genuinely hard to overstate.

Top Spots in Budva for Solo Travelers
Showing 6 spots
Avala Resort Budva
Accommodation
Budva's most popular resort hotel — set on a private beach between the old town and the Mogren cliffs with indoor and outdoor pools, a sea-view restaurant, and the best location on the Budva Riviera. The beach access is superb; the pool terrace at sunset is where the entire resort gathers.
📍Mediteranska 2, Budva, Montenegro
Castel Restoran Budva
Food & Drink
A terrace restaurant on the old town walls above the Adriatic — excellent fresh fish, Montenegrin lamb, and the finest views in Budva for dining. The grilled branzino with lemon and olive oil and the lamb under the sač (bell-shaped lid) are the dishes to order; the house wine from Plantaže winery is outstanding.
📍Petra I Petrovića, Budva
Jaz Beach
Nature
Montenegro's finest beach — a 1.8km arc of sand and shingle 3km from Budva with turquoise water, mountain views, and enough scale to feel uncrowded even in peak summer. The setting is spectacular; the rolling hills behind the beach are used for major concerts (Rolling Stones, Madonna have both played here).
📍Jaz Beach, Budva, Montenegro
Mogren Beach
Nature
Two connected crescent beaches below the old town fortifications — some of the clearest Adriatic water in Montenegro, with dramatic cliff scenery, a sea-arch connecting the two coves, and enough space to find a relatively quiet spot even in summer. The most beautiful beach accessible from Budva's old town.
📍Mogren, Budva, Montenegro
Stari Grad Budva (Old Town)
Culture
Budva's extraordinary medieval old town — a 9th-century Venetian city on a rocky peninsula with narrow alleys, stone churches, 5th-century fortress walls, and the most animated nightlife scene in Montenegro. The old town is tiny enough to walk in 20 minutes but rich enough to spend an entire evening exploring.
📍Stari Grad, Budva, Montenegro
Top Hill Club Budva
Nightlife
The most spectacular open-air club in the Balkans — a hilltop venue above Budva with panoramic Adriatic views, international DJ bookings, and a crowd of Eastern European summer revelers that makes Ibiza look restrained. Open June–September; the view of the twinkling coastline from the dancefloor is extraordinary.
📍Topliška, Budva, Montenegro

Reykjavik
Iceland
The world's northernmost capital and the gateway to landscapes unlike anywhere else on Earth — geysers, glaciers, black sand beaches, and the Northern Lights all within two hours of the city. Reykjavik itself is tiny, colorful, and brilliant: the nightlife is legendary, the hot dog stands are famous, and Hallgrímskirkja church is one of the great architectural statements of the 20th century.
Lisbon
Portugal
Europe's sunniest capital is also its most solo-travel-friendly. Small enough to walk everywhere, big enough to never get bored. Fado music and pastéis de nata will rearrange your soul.
Tbilisi
Georgia
The most underrated city in the world for solo travelers. Ancient sulphur baths, natural wine, extraordinary food, and locals who will invite you home for dinner after knowing you for five minutes.
Vienna
Austria
The Habsburg empire's grandest legacy — a city of coffee houses, concert halls, and imperial palaces that operates like clockwork. Vienna consistently ranks as the world's most livable city, and solo travelers who spend a week here struggle to articulate why it's so deeply satisfying.
