Located on the Adriatic coast of the Republic of Montenegro, Budva is one of the oldest settlements in the region, with over 2,500 years of history. Famous for its magnificent beaches, medieval old town and vibrant nightlife, the city is known as the jewel in the crown of Montenegrin tourism.
The Old Town of Budva, with its Venetian-style walls and stone streets, has preserved historical buildings such as the Church of St. Ivan and the Church of St. Mary. Just outside the Old Town, Budva Castle overlooks the city bay and is a popular spot for watching the Mediterranean sunset.
Blue Flag beaches such as Mogollon and Yaz are dotted around the city, with crystal clear waters suitable for diving, sailing and other water activities. The nearby island of St. Stefan is connected to the mainland by a land bridge, and this luxury resort in a converted 15th-century village has become an iconic Montenegrin sight.
Budva is about 20 kilometers from Tivat Airport, and the peak tourist season is in the summer (June-September) each year. Visitors can combine a visit to the Bay of Kotor with a visit to the Skudai Lake National Park to experience the dual charms of Montenegro's seaside and mountains.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is located in the southern part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of the main island of St. Vincent and 32 small islands in the northern part of the Grenadines archipelago, with the capital Kingstown. The country is famous for its volcanic landscape and blue sea, the Soufrière Hills Volcano at the northern end of the main island is an active volcano, and the surrounding tropical rainforest is covered with rich ecological resources. The economy is based on agriculture (bananas, spices) and tourism, and is a destination for divers and sailors for its pristine beaches, coral reefs and friendly atmosphere. The culture is a blend of Caribbean and African traditions, with a carnival full of music and dance, one of the "Pearls of the Caribbean".
