International Music and Dance Festival "BUDVA WAVES"

"Came to Budva once and you will be back again...Feel the beauty of Budva"

History of Budva - Why is this city long-lived, why are the people of Budva attached to it, why is it the most visited resort on the Montenegrin coast? Nature has endowed this region with rich beauty and favorable conditions for human life: it has always been like this, it is today and it will be so in the future. Generations of inhabitants were changing and crossing here: Illyrians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and others - until the Slovenian population prevailed in the Middle Ages. That is why in this area we have numerous sites of material cultures of several peoples, and this richness and diversity, together with the beauty of the landscape and mild climate, gives this landscape a Mediterranean character and makes it one of the oldest urban units on the Adriatic.
