Top Hill is Budva’s big-night venue, and one of the best-known clubs on the whole Adriatic coast: an open-air arena on the hillside above town where headline DJs and regional stars play to crowds with the bay glittering below. If Budva’s nightlife has a summit, this is it, literally and otherwise.
The setting does a lot of the work. The club is built as a series of terraces down the hillside, so wherever you stand there is a view over the lights of the riviera, and dancing outdoors in warm night air is a different experience from any indoor floor. Production is full-scale: proper sound, lights and a programme of live acts and DJ events through the summer season, typically June to September.
It is an event venue as much as a club, so the night depends on who is playing. Check the line-up on the website or the posters plastered around town before committing, and expect the biggest names to mean queues and higher entry.
Getting up the hill is part of the plan: it is a taxi ride from the centre, and on event nights shuttle buses run from Budva as well. Entry prices vary by event, so check before you go, and book transport home in advance on the biggest nights, when half the riviera has the same idea at 4am.
