Hello there,
In October 2024, I spent a week in Montenegro, mainly in Budva. I arrived at Tivat Airport and took a bus to Budva. I found it fairly easy to use public transportation, although walking from the airport to Tivat city center means spending part of the journey along the roadside, so taking a taxi is definitely the safer option. I decided to take the risk and walk, and it turned out not to be too bad.
In Budva, I found a nice Airbnb at a reasonable price, conveniently located near the city center. Since I was working remotely, I appreciated the number of coffee shops with reliable Wi-Fi and comfortable tables where I could work. I also noticed that there were quite a few remote workers in town.
Staying in Budva made it easy to visit other places such as Herceg Novi and Kotor. I also took a trip to Dubrovnik, and I found Budva to be a great base thanks to the availability of both international and domestic routes.
What I enjoyed most about Budva were the beautiful walks along the coast. I often walked all the way to Sveti Stefan and even beyond, with most of the route following the seafront. The weather was another highlight: it wasn't too hot, and although it rained occasionally, the showers usually passed quickly.
I'd go back to Montenegro in a heartbeat. The country offers stunning scenery, charming architecture, and plenty of things to do. I truly enjoyed my time there and hope to return one day.
