After maybe 10 minutes, the mountain road to '''Cetinje''' and '''Podgorica''' starts. There is a bus station which makes a perfect hitchhiking spot, and you'll be very likely to meet other hitchhikers there.

==Public Transport==Budva's bus station is a 5-7 euro taxi ride, or a 20 minute walk, to "Stari Grad" or the old stone walled city. There is no inter-city bus from the bus station to Stari Grad.

=== Direction [[Croatia, Northwards]] ===Don't repeat my mistake of wandering out of the city! There are no suitable places for around 7km where cars do have a chance to stop for you. There are two basic options: * Walk along the ''Jadranska magistrala'' (the main road) until you see a small parking lot on the right side if front of a tall building after which there are no more buildings on the right side. The spot is a bit tight but there is a lot of traffic.* Organise a ride to the next town northwards. There, you will find a very suitable gas station. == Public Transport ==Budva's bus station is a 5-7 euro taxi ride, or a 20 minute walk, to "Stari Grad" or the old stone walled city.

Budva has some pebbly beaches (not a lot of sand here) with clear water. However, however; they're many of them packed shoulder to shoulder with tourists during the summer months and backed by outdoor bars with pounding dance music. Approximately 1/2 of the beach front are filled with pay-per-use chairs and umbrellas that - as of summer 2009 - will run you about 10 euro for 2 chairs and an umbrella. Otherwise you can cast your towel onto the pebbles on the "free" areas.

==Places to Avoid==Most Some great and free beaches are at the north end of itthe town, behind the old city. Outside of Stari Grad, Budva is mostly a mix of hastily unattractively constructed apartments Not easy to find and tourist accommodationsthus much less crowded.

==Accommodation and SleepPlaces to Avoid ==You'll find plentiful rooms ("sobe") outside the wall Most of it. Outside of Stari Grad ranging from 10 euro per person per night in the off-season to as much as 30 euro per person per night in the summer. Hotels can be 200 euro , Budva is mostly a mix of hastily unattractively constructed apartments and up during high seasontourist accommodations.

The [[Categoryhttp:Montenegro]//www.hippohostel.com/ ''Hippo Hostel'']in ''IV Proleterska'' is a pretty cool backpackers hostel for EUR 12 per night. Sleeping on the beach might get you into trouble with the police.
