Little Montenegro is on an equal footing with many major tourist powers in Europe and Asia. This country surprises its guests with cozy, clean beaches, a pacifying atmosphere, a large number of festivals and holidays in the summer. Budva or Tivat - the choice is not difficult, since the resorts, although they are located in close proximity to each other (due to the small length of the coastline), are still significantly different from each other.
Budva or Tivat - who will delight the beaches?
Budva has an honorable mission as the country's main resort, and how, after that, can its beaches be compared with the beaches of any other Montenegrin resort. There are about 35 equipped coastal areas in the city and its surroundings, many of them are decorated with the UNESCO Blue Flags, symbolizing cleanliness. A small minus due to the fact that the beaches are either covered with small pebbles, or located on rocky areas. One of the most beautiful is located in the vicinity of the city - this is Jaz, it is conditionally divided into two parts, one of which is sandy, and the other is pebble.
Tivat, initially, acted as a city with an airport, from which tourists went to various resorts in Montenegro. Today he himself tries on the role of a resort that receives guests from different countries. Riviera Tivat is 17 beaches, many beautiful coves and coves, three islands with interesting names - the Virgin Mary, St. Mark and Flowers. There are sandy and pebbly beaches, so vacationers can choose. In addition to the mainland, you can take sun and sea baths on the Island of Flowers, where the beach runs along the entire coast.
Tasty and satisfying
Since Budva is considered the main resort, catering establishments - restaurants, bars and cafes - are found at every turn. It is clear that most of it is concentrated in the Old Town and adjacent areas, where there are most tourists. The city has a huge number of establishments offering fast food, and of excellent quality and at quite affordable prices. Tourists strive to get acquainted not only with the culture or history of the country, but also with delicious Montenegrin cuisine, rich in fish and seafood.

Architectural monuments, beautiful houses and structures can be found walking throughout Budva, but most of them are located in the Old Town. The streets are very narrow and winding, because no one thought about planning in those distant times.
