About this experience
Budva is a tourist center, a monumental resort, a city theater and a prestigious village on the tourist map of Europe and the world. Budva is often referred to as the "metropolis of tourism" because it is the most visited destination in Montenegro and one of the most visited ones on the Adriatic, and it is often given epithet like "Queen of the Adriatic".
Saint Stefan is a settlement not far from Budva, connected with the land by a narrow landing. It represents a unique place in the whole world, at the same time is an island, a city and a hotel. This island is the most luxurious resort in Montenegro and one of the most luxurious on the Adriatic.
