Budva is not only one of the most popular tourist cities in Montenegro, but also a destination rich in shopping opportunities. Located on the Mediterranean coast, this city offers both modern shopping centers and traditional bazaars. Attracting a large number of tourists during the summer months, Budva gives shopping enthusiasts the chance to explore both international brands and local handicrafts. From clothing to accessories, souvenirs to regional products, there are many places where visitors can shop across a wide range.
While the shopping centers in the city generally stand out with their comfortable and modern structures, the boutique shops in Budva’s historic center, Stari Grad, promise a more authentic and traditional shopping experience. Large complexes like TQ Plaza also include social areas such as cinemas and restaurants, while open-air markets highlight handmade jewelry, lavender products, and Montenegrin-themed souvenirs. Shopping in Budva is not only about meeting your needs but also becomes a cultural discovery and an enjoyable activity.

2. Rozino Shopping Center
Budva’s rapidly developing Rozino neighborhood is especially notable for hosting a new shopping center. This reinforced concrete-framed project represents a significant step in the area’s infrastructure. Rozino is progressing toward offering modern living opportunities for families, with educational institutions, healthcare facilities, green spaces, and the currently under-construction shopping center. Expected to stand out with its creative architecture, the center will combine souvenir shops, clothing and accessory sections, and will bring vitality to the neighborhood with nearby restaurants.
Right next to the new shopping center, there is also a small market where fresh local products are sold — providing easy access for residents and visitors to meet their daily shopping needs. Additionally, the project includes newly planned parking areas with a capacity for approximately 200 cars, which will greatly help ease local traffic. With all these developments, Rozino, although only about a 10-minute walk from Budva’s city center, is turning into an attractive living and shopping district in its own right.
