Self Guided Tour of Stories and Saints in Budva Old Town
4.0 / 5 · 1 traveler reviews
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.
