Montenegro - Budva

            Budva is a coastal town in Montenegro. Budva is 3,500 years old, which makes it the oldest settlements on the Adriatic sea coast.  It is well known for its sandy beaches, diverse nightlife, and examples of Mediterranean architecture. 

Much of the architecture in the Old Town is of Venetian design. The Old Town was destroyed by earthquakes in 1979; it took eight years to restore the buildings to their original form.

Outside the old town, much of the city consists of new age Mediterranean-style buildings, or private lowrise dwellings. Developments during the 1990s were done without any urban planning, and had resulted in major traffic jams during the summer season.

Once barren and undeveloped steep hillsides were sold at high prices to foreign buyers, mostly Russians, Austrians and Italians. This resulted in a once poor fisherman's village to become a town with the most millionaires per capita in Europe.

Budva has the distinction of being the smallest town to host a concert of The Rolling Stones in 2007.
