In the charming coastal town of Budva, in Montenegro

 “When the pearls of nature were sown, on this soil an owerflowing handful was gathered; the most beautiful contact between the earth and sea took place at the Montenegrin littoral.” -~ Lord Byron

=======================================================================
(in the Coastal region of Montenegro) A parliamentary republic that gained full independence from Serbia in June 2006, following a referendum in May in which just over the required 55 percent of Montenegrins voted to secede from the federation, Montenegro’s parliament adopted the country’s first constitution in 2007. Montenegro is governed by independent executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The president is the head of state, elected directly for a period of five years. The unicameral parliament of Montenegro is led by a prime minister. Its judicial branch includes a constitutional court composed of five judges with nine-year terms and a supreme court with justices that have life terms.
Featured here is Budva, a charming coastal town in Montenegro, famous for its historic Old Town, sandy beaches, and lively nightlife. You can explore the cobblestone streets and medieval walls of the Old Town, where you can find museums, churches, and cafes. Or you can relax on one of the many beaches along the Budva Riviera, such as Mogren, Becici, or Jaz. You can also take a boat trip to the nearby island of Sveti Nikola, where you can enjoy the nature and wildlife. (Budva is a great destination for culture, sun, and fun). With its medieval Old Town, sun-soaked beaches, and lively nightlife, the town of Budva is the stand-out attraction along the Montenegrin coastline. Its cobbled streets, harbor, museums, cafés, and boutiques, while the Adriatic backdrop offers plenty of offshore opportunities, too.

+ The Old Town suffered extensive damage in 1979 earthquake; repair and reconstruction took eight years (until 1987), but traces of the damage are now hardly noticeable. Today, it is a prime visitor attraction of Budva, packed with tourists during the summer months. Its narrow cobbled streets are lined with restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops.

+ Budva is now considered the poster child of Montenegrin tourism. Easily the country’s most-visited destination, it attracts hordes of holidaymakers intent on exploring its atmospheric Stari Grad (Old Town), sunning themselves on the bonny beaches of the Budva Riviera and partying until dawn; with scores of buzzy bars and clanging clubs, it’s not nicknamed ‘the Montenegrin Miami’ for nothing.

+ The famed Statue Ballerina in Budva is a stunning work of art that celebrates the beauty and grace of ballet. The statue has become a beloved symbol of the town and a must-see attraction for visitors to Montenegro. However, beyond its beauty, the statue has an emotional story behind it that adds to its allure.
