Budva 2026: New Year’s Festivities, Bypass, and Paragliding

Budva is ready to welcome 2026 with an unforgettable seven-day New Year’s celebration. The city’s spectacular program features top regional music stars, daily fireworks, a captivating drone show, and a dedicated children’s program. Hotels are buzzing with bookings, reflecting the city’s success in extending its vibrant tourism season into winter and securing its status as the Adriatic's premier events destination.

In addition to the festivities, Budva is making strides in infrastructure with a major €196–237 million tender for a new bypass designed to ease congestion, shorten travel times, and improve safety. This massive project includes constructing bridges and tunnels, highlighting the city’s commitment to sustainable tourism growth and enhanced visitor experience.

Despite some challenges earlier in 2025, including incidents that raised safety discussions, Budva’s local government is focusing on strengthening community services such as schools and healthcare, expanding parking facilities, and maintaining financial stability. These efforts aim to support both residents and the growing number of tourists.

For those seeking adventure, Budva offers an extraordinary way to celebrate the New Year: tandem paragliding over the stunning Budva Riviera. Paragliding provides a safe and thrilling opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of the coastline and the Adriatic Sea from the sky. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced flyer, this activity guarantees an unforgettable experience and a unique perspective on the city’s natural beauty.
