What to expect

Embark on a guided journey through northern Albania, a region where history, culture and nature come together in a captivating harmony. Discover Shkodër, one of the oldest and most vibrant cities in the country, known for its lively streets, traditional cafés and authentic local atmosphere.

Your experience begins with a visit to Ura e Mesit, an elegant Ottoman-era stone bridge that spans the clear waters of the Kir River and stands as one of the best preserved examples of traditional Albanian architecture. This historic structure once connected Shkodër to the ancient settlement of Drisht, a site rich with Roman and medieval heritage. The tour continues toward the legendary Rozafa Castle, a majestic fortress rising above the city on a rocky hill. Its origins date back to the Illyrian period in the fourth century before Christ, and its walls carry layers of medieval and Venetian history.

As you explore the castle, you'll also discover the famous legend of Rozafa, a deeply rooted tale in Albanian folklore. From the panoramic viewpoints at the top, you can admire breathtaking views of Shkodër, its shimmering lake and the surrounding mountains. This tour provides a complete and immersive experience, combining cultural heritage, striking landscapes and a deeper understanding of one of Albania’s most significant historical centres.
