Durres – Kruje-Tirane

Evolution of History

Meet with local guide at your hotel lobby and transfer to Kruja.

Albania’s national hero was born here, and although it was over 500 years ago, there’s still a great deal of pride in the fact that he and his forces defended Kruja from the Ottomans until his death.

An ancient castle juts out to one side, and the massive Skanderbeg Museum juts out of the castle itself.

We will stop first at Old Bazaar The construction of the beautiful and fascinating marketplace of Krujë dates back over 400 years, and was the starting point of free trade among the city’s most established merchants.

Walk to the castle and visit the Scanderbegs Museum.

Have lunch in a local restaurant.

Transfer to Tirana, the capital of Albania, like all other capital metropolises has never -ending movement and energy. With its clubs, bars, cafes and taverns, Tirana is worth discovering by both day and night. The hospitality shown towards tourists is something that will mark your journey not only in Tirana but also all over the country. Have a walk from the main square through the boulevard seeing from outside the main buildings of the city like, the pyramid of Tirana, Prime Minister office, Residence of President, University of Tirana etc.
