Citadela Budva stands as the crown jewel of Budva's Old Town, perched on its highest point with commanding views over the sea and the red-roofed city below. This medieval fortress houses a small but charming library filled with rare books and a maritime museum showcasing ship models. While the interior exhibits are modest, the primary draw is the walk along the ramparts, providing spectacular photo opportunities of the Riviera and nearby islands. It is a well-maintained site that offers a peaceful escape from the bustling streets of the Old Town, though most visitors find the experience focused more on the scenery than the historical depth.

Citadela Budva is widely praised for its exceptional panoramic views of the Old Town and the Adriatic Sea, which many consider the highlight of the visit. Reviewers frequently mention the scenic beauty of the location, describing it as a great spot for photography. However, there is a recurring sentiment among visitors that the entrance fee is somewhat high given the limited amount of content inside. The maritime museum and library are often described as small or 'untouchable,' with some guests feeling the visit can be completed in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. Despite these concerns, the site is recognized as a well-maintained historical landmark that provides a unique perspective of Budva's coastline. Friendly locals and the surrounding charm of the Old Town's narrow streets add to the overall experience.
