Self Guided Tour of Stories and Saints in Budva Old Town

1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: German and 6 more

Budva’s Old town hides many secrets. Like a Roman bathhouse beneath the cafes, stories behind the churches and an altar a Roman woman poured wine on two thousand years ago. None of this would be visible in Budva if an earthquake hadn't brought down the buildings hiding it.

This self-guided audio walking tour of Budva, experienced through an app, follows that reveal across 15 stops. You'll trace the Venetian Lion of Saint Mark, hear the Phoenician founding myth of a snake king and learn why a Hollywood prop sits in the square.

No fixed start time, no large groups. You can pause at a cafe or replay a stop. Ideal if you want depth at your own pace.

Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and this Budva audio tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
