Guidebook for Budva
Cafes & Pubs
Budva is beautiful if you enjoy it relaxed and in a cozy environment. So, here are some places where I like to go to during the day to grab a good coffee and enjoy the view, or in the evening for a cool chill with my friends.
Vihor is a cute little pub in the Old Town with a charming terrace, cool music, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Ricardova glava (Richard's head) beach is actually my favorite beach, though many people would not agree with my choice on this one, simply because the beach itself is quite small with a stony sea bottom, but I personally like that it is typically not too crowded and it's cool snorkeling around the Old Town city walls. There is a nice restaurant on the very beach, called Konoba Stari Grad (The Old Town Tavern) (don't confuse it with Astoria, which is just loud and overpriced). The tavern is open from early morning till after midnight, even during the winter, and my favorite is just chilling there sipping a Ness coffee or their draft beer.
