About this Budva, Montenegro vlog:
In this Balkan vlog, I set out to explore Budva, Montenegro. It was my first time to the Adriatic Sea and I was excited to see what the Budva beaches were like. I’d read online that Budva was nicknamed the “Miami of Montenegro” and investigated that claim. I ended up seeing multiple places during this day trip to Montenegro, including:
- Sveti Nikola island (St. Nikola island or “Hawaii”)
- Budva Riviera
- Mogren Beach
- Hemingway Bar & Restaurant
- Budva Bell
- Budva Old Town
- The Church of Sveti Ivan (The Church of St. Ivan or The Church of St. John the Baptist)
- Budva Citadel
- Budva Ballerina
I did get scammed during the boat tour, which was unfortunate. Scams are common while traveling; even if you prepare for them, they happen. It rained on and off throughout the day, so I wish I had been able to visit Budva at a better time.
About Budva, Montenegro:
Budva, located on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, is a captivating blend of old and new. This ancient town, believed to be over 2,500 years old, is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Strolling through its narrow streets reveals a rich history, evident in the medieval stone walls encircling the Old Town. Here, Venetian-influenced architecture adds a timeless charm, with landmarks like the Church of Saint Ivan and the 15th-century Citadel standing as testaments to Budva's storied past.
Beyond history, Budva is also renowned for its vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches, like Mogren and Jaz, which draw sunseekers from around the globe. The Budva Riviera, with its stunning coastline, offers a picturesque setting for beach enthusiasts and water sports lovers. The town's modern side boasts luxury hotels, bustling cafes, and lively clubs, making it a perfect blend of the historical and contemporary. This dynamic contrast makes Budva an enticing destination for travelers seeking cultural richness and modern leisure.

It was a great tour, thank you.
I appreciate it! Unfortunately, not the best day to go…
Travel,greetings, enjoyed. that is cool picture,have a nice day! =))
Thanks for watching!
@@TravelLordOnLoc Thank you ,I like your cool calm attitude , I thought you dealt with the boatman well, I am going to Budva for a weeks holiday later this month I will keep an eye out for the boatman.
@@MrJamesboswell I'm glad I could help! I hope you have a great time!
Just discovered this channel and you dropped a new vid. Keep up the great work.
Hahaha well that’s good timing! I’ve got a lot of videos I still have to edit so might try to put one out every 4 or 5 days if I can
He gave you a nice tour. He deserves a nice tip and not haggling. One hour on the boat for 40€ is a very good price. I think this is not a scam, but a misunderstanding. At first you said that you had recorded it, then you declared that it was not recorded. Who knows what the truth is, maybe it's a scam, but not on the part of the boat driver. 🙂 Don't worry about it, if I meet this boat driver in Budva this summer, I'll pay him 10 euros for you. And I won't forget the tip.
Yeah it’s not the biggest deal. I went to him because I heard him tell other people 20 Euro and then he told me the same thing. But it could’ve been a misunderstanding too I guess. Thanks for watching!
Awwww Man! You handled it well.
It was his (American style) tip.
I was more upset that I didn’t record the exchange of him agreeing to €20 hahaha
Montenegro.looks amazing. I a always had a fascination with countries in the Balkans, especially Montenegro with its unique landscape, culture and history. I'm sorry you got ripped -off while on tour in budva. no humble or compassionate traveller, (showing people for Free the world) deserves this kind of treatment, as it can have a significant impact on how seriously tourism is taken in any country. I hope you enjoyed your time in Montenegro, your content just gets better and better. Greetings from Trinidad 🙂 🇹🇹🇲🇪
Thanks! I wish I had more time to check out Montenegro. Driving through the mountains was amazing! It was part of a 18 day tour through the Balkans so made a lot of stops. I’ve got more Balkan videos coming up!
@@TravelLordOnLoc , that's great. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Balkan nations 🙂. Stay safe, and I hope you enjoy your time around the amazing region!
l've visited to Budva once in 2016 and stayed at the black hotel which is appeared on 15.40 :) l adopted a stray cat from Budva and named him Budva as well to keep him connected to his roots :) He is a lap loving black cat. I really want to revisit Budva may be in summer 2024, wht not? If l can do that this video will be the reason for sure. Thank you for the video and taking me back to that moments...
Glad you liked it! I hope Budva the cat is doing well!
@@TravelLordOnLoc Yes he is ok. Actually he was about to die when l found him at the old Budva. He was a premature kitten thats why he gets sick easily also he pees home sometimes 🤦♀️ but yes we good :)
İts beautiful country, beautiful video and he beautiful man😊
Thank you! Hahaha
@@TravelLordOnLoc 😂😊 your welcome
Again perfect video❤❤ i love
Very much appreciated!
That's actually Dukley's resort not a Russian apartment complex.
Oh really? Thanks for the info!
i am having good time when i watching your travels, first of all thanks about it. but honestly my english is not enough for watching your travels. Its hard for you i know but can you put turkish subtitle for turkish subscribers? If you don't, I will watch it for improve my english. both win win, but subtitle is better. keep going, next time be careful to not scammed^^
Im adding subtitles to all of the new ones when I put them out. When I have some time I will go back and add subtitles to the old ones too. Don’t worry!
🇹🇷🇹🇷perfec video
Thank you!
Christ I’ve never seen somebody so upset over 10 euro!
Hahahahaha me or him?
Fabulous video. That city is quite captivating. Even raindrops didn’t dampen the vibe.
Totally agree!
loved the video
Much appreciated!
👍
Thank you!
@@TravelLordOnLoc In this episode you visited one of my favorite European countries, a true pearl. It's just a shame about the episode with the petty crook. Nevertheless, I do not change my assessment of Montenegro. Regards.
@@SuperElborbah It was a shame I didn't have more time/wasn't able to go in the summer. I'll have to head back sometime!
My buddy in Budva! I don't think you should have tried to scam that sailor. Next time, just pay the full fare. Great work Travel-Buddy!
Next time I’ll keep the camera rolling from the beginning!
Your Turkiye video have been watch so much I think you have to make video again for your fannsss
Im making 7-10 more videos in Türkiye, but I still have 5 or 6 more videos from the Balkans that I didn’t put out yet also. Don’t worry!
Istanbul taxi driver wanted me to kiss him (I'm a guy), then later, tried to scamed me. Wanted $300 for hour drive. I gave him $150. Stopped at restaurant, at his suggestion, most likely a friend, I ordered for me, he also ordered, I paid. When he neared my hotel, I think, the An Hotel, he made sure he didn't stop anywhere near the tourist policeman standing on the corner shouldering a AK47. The store hired tourist grabbers around the Blue Mosque were a real nuisance. I'll never go to Turkey again!
This expat American has never been scammed the 12yrs I've been here. Are you sure, he didn't say, 30mins 20euro. That's usually the going rate for one person.
Could’ve been a miscommunication, but I asked how much was a boat ride and he said 20 Euros. No time or amount of places was discussed. Maybe it was the going rate but he took me to extra places without telling me it cost more
That's usually the case. Miscommunication. You will pay for any extra side trips, no freebies. The only time you need to watch your money, is when paying for something at small stores. Count the small change to make sure it's the correct amount. The locals also complain about that. Very safe, beautiful country! Enjoy!
@@TravelLordOnLocChanging the price, for taking me further, without telling me/asking me, cost me a $150, he wanted $300, in Istanbul, Turkey. When I first ask him price he laughed, saying millions, millions, after he voluntarily picked me up off street, promising cheap ride, to see things, during Ramadan, everything closed. What is funny, after a few minutes of riding around he tells me, 'You are a very good man, I'm a very bad man'. I should have took him seriously! Live and learn.
@@wanderingwarrior5626 Yeah, have to be careful sometimes
Wise decision. The Montenegrin Tour Boat Mafia are ruthless
Didn’t want to take any risks there…
Mafia? Try Thailand! That's a mafia!
@@wanderingwarrior5626 Yeah, I've heard stories, but I've never had problems in Thailand other than food poisoning...
@@TravelLordOnLoc I lived there for four years. Never happened to me. One newcomer got sick, mainly because, they made food to spicey hot for him.
I will save the video offline, what a scam. Thank you for warn us.
