Day Trip to Budva & Ulcinj from Tirana

Why Choose Day Trips Albania

Traveling with Day Trips Albania means you’ll experience Montenegro’s Adriatic coast in comfort and style. We keep our groups small (maximum 16 guests) so you’ll enjoy personal attention, expert storytelling, and authentic encounters. Our guides are passionate about sharing the history and culture of the Balkans, making this cross‑border journey a perfect blend of seaside charm and heritage discovery.

Discover Budva – The Adriatic Riviera

Budva is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic, with more than 2,500 years of history. Today it’s known as the “Montenegrin Riviera,” combining sandy beaches, lively promenades, and a beautifully preserved old town.

Explore Ulcinj – The Southern Gem of Montenegro

Ulcinj, located near the Albanian border, is a city with a unique blend of cultures and a rich maritime history. Known for its long beaches and oriental flair, it offers a different atmosphere compared to Budva.

Why This Trip Stands Out

  • Cross‑border adventure: Explore Montenegro’s Adriatic coast while starting comfortably from Tirana.
  • Two iconic cities: Experience Budva’s Riviera charm and Ulcinj’s cultural diversity in one day.
  • Scenic contrasts: Medieval fortresses, sandy beaches, and lively promenades.
  • Premium service: Small group size, expert guides, and authentic encounters.
