MONTENEGRO - Budva

My second card from Montenegro shows a wonderful view of Budva, thank you to Ivana for the swap.


"Budva (Serbian: Будва, Budva) is a Montenegrin town on the Adriatic Sea. It has around 14,000 inhabitants, and it is the centre of Budva Municipality. The coastal area around Budva, called the Budva riviera, is the center of Montenegrin tourism, known for its well preserved medieval walled city, sandy beaches and diverse nightlife. Budva is 2,500 years old, which makes it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast."
