Budva as a Distinct Cultural and Coastal Context

The Budva City Museum in the Old Town has archaeological and ethnographic exhibitions. The Citadel offers views of the city and includes a small museum, a library and a fish relief symbolizing Budva.

The City Theater Festival is also part of the cultural offering in the wider destination of Budva. It takes place during the summer months and turns the Old Town’s squares and courtyards into stages; it was founded in 1987.

This makes it possible to distinguish between two different aspects of the destination: Markovići is associated with rural character, nature and the hiking route; the cultural and coastal features mentioned belong to the wider destination of Budva.
