Citadela Budva

Over priced at €5.50, whilst it is well maintained and an ok view from the top there isn’t a lot to see. Very little to no information about the actual Citadel, the library is charming but all the books are locked away, and how you can call that a display of ships is mind boggling, literally a 10 minute visit if you take your time and enjoy the view ( but don’t expect to sit enjoying it with a drink cos the restaurant was closed ) Enjoy my photos and save yourselves some money

This citadela needs supporting as all historical sites. So for the price of a snack I think it is well worth it. The library is interesting and the building themselves are a pleasure to explore. The views of the old town and out over the riva nad beaches, out to the islands spectacular.

Visiting Citadela Budva really helps you understand Budva’s long history. Located at the edge of the Old Town, it was the strongest point of the medieval fortifications, largely shaped during the Venetian period in the 15th century to defend the city from sea attacks and piracy. The citadel was badly damaged in the 1979 earthquake and later restored, which makes walking here feel like stepping into both the past and its recovery. Today it’s a peaceful spot with incredible views over the Adriatic and the rooftops of Budva—well worth the visit if you enjoy history and scenic viewpoints. Standing above the Adriatic Sea, there’s a quiet sense of timelessness. The sound of the waves, the vast horizon, and the ancient stone walls make it easy to imagine sailors and watchmen once gazing out from the same spot. It’s a place to pause, reflect, and feel the deep connection between Budva and the sea that has shaped it for centuries…

Impressive building and stone walls. Location is obviously as expected considering the character of the building. Cobbled streets all around the Budva Old Town with some really narrow alleys where only 2 people can pass at the most. Good choice of souvenir shops around and many pizza 🍕 and coffee ☕️ places to stop by with generous sitting areas. An amphitheatre is located right next to the citadel.

Overpriced €5.50 for 5 mins visit. Only the panorama view from the top is good. Ship museum is just a tiny room of random ship models. Library is just a room with books in glass showcase, it's not library: untouchable & unreadable. I think the €5.50 fee to enter this Citadel isn't justifiable, overpriced, and more of a tourist trap.

Definitely worth a visit! The view is stunning, and below there is a restaurant and a ship exhibition. There are also two libraries to explore. Well worth both the visit and the €4.50 entrance fee.

Ticket cost 5.50 euro each. Quite expensive as you go up it’s only the top floor plus a restaurant. But you get a good view of the island, ocean and the whole of Budva.

The €5.50 entrance fee feels quite high considering what’s inside. The views of Budva and St. Nikola Island are beautiful, but beyond that, there’s just a small "museum" room with a few ship models and a library with books behind glass and a couple of sofas. Everything can be done in 10 minutes. It’s a charming spot, but there isn’t much to see or discover.
