Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Before plugging in your electronics in Budva, check the voltage. It’s different from the 120V used in the U.S., so you’ll likely need a converter.
Before heading abroad, always check the power input label on your device. If it reads “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, it’s designed to run on both 120V and 220-240V without needing a converter. Many smartphones, laptops, and cameras have this capability.

More About Budva
Budva’s been around for over 2,500 years—first Illyrians, then Romans, Byzantines, Venetians—and you can still wander its medieval walls and feel the centuries underfoot. The Old Town is full of twisty cobblestone lanes, Roman-era mosaics, and seaside citadels that make you feel like Indiana Jones—even though it’s been lovingly rebuilt after a 1979 earthquake.
Then just beyond the walls are some of Montenegro’s top beaches, like Mogren and Jaz, set against the backdrop of the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps. You can grab a kayak, take a paddle-board tour, or paraglide off a cliff for those “floating over the sea” moments. Come shoulder season (May or September), and it’s warm, still quiet, and best of all—no hoards.
At night, Budva buzzes with beach bars, nightclubs, and casual seaside cafes that light up the promenade. But if you’re up for a break from the crowd, follow the Seven Bay Trail north—picture a coastal hike punctuated by hidden coves and quiet bays for a midday dip.
Budva uses the same plugs and outlets as the rest of Montenegro.
