🗺️ Tour Highlights & Itinerary

Start your journey heading north through lush Albanian countryside. After a 2-hour scenic drive, arrive in one of the country’s oldest cities—Shkodra, known as the cultural capital of the north.

2. Rozafa Castle

Begin your exploration with Rozafa Castle, a legendary fortress overlooking the confluence of three rivers and Lake Shkodra. Learn about the tragic tale of Rozafa’s sacrifice, and enjoy panoramic views that stretch across Albania and into Montenegro.

3. Historical Center Walk

Stroll through Shkodra’s vibrant pedestrian boulevard lined with Venetian-style buildings, art galleries, and cafés. Your guide can tailor this stop depending on your interests—photography, culture, or a quick espresso break.

4. Shiroka Village & Buna River

End your tour with a visit to the lakeside village of Shiroka. Enjoy a traditional Albanian lunch (optional) with fresh fish from the lake, or sip coffee along the serene Buna River waterfront.

5. Mesi Bridge – Ura e Mesit (Optional)

Next, discover the 18th-century Mesi Bridge—an impressive Ottoman stone structure spanning the Kir River. It’s a fantastic photo spot and a tranquil reminder of Albania’s multicultural heritage.

6. Optional Stops

You can choose to visit historical landmarks such as the Lead Mosque or the grand Cathedral of Shkodra, each reflecting the city’s diverse religious heritage.
