A rainy drive led us to Montenegro’s glamorous Sveti Stefan island, a secret mountain church with stunning views, and a historic downpour in Bar. We found a perfect €8 lunch but are still searching for a great dinner in Budva.
Our day in Budva moved from chaotic traffic to serene discovery. We wandered the historic Old Town, found a beloved local bar, and ended with wine on a deck overlooking it all, piecing together the city’s layered charm.
Our trip from Dubrovnik to Budva delivered smooth borders, gorgeous Adriatic scenery, a helpful tourist tax lesson, unexpected scooter stress, and a hilltop condo with a stunning sea view.
