Explore one of the oldest cities in Albania and discover its fascinating historical heritage with this day trip to Shkodra from Tirana.

Shkodra Day Trip

At the designated time, we'll meet at the Albanian National Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Tirana. From there, we'll travel to Shkodra, the gateway to the Albanian Alps and the cultural capital of Albania.

After approximately 2 hours of travel, we'll reach our destination. The first place we will see is Rozafa Castle, a historically significant fortress. We will explore the ruins, reconstructed by the Venetians and the Ottomans, and enjoy views of the rivers surrounding Shkodra.

Next, we'll visit the city center and have 1 hour of free time to experience Albanian cuisine and grab a bite to eat.

After lunch, we will admire the Lead Mosque, a key Ottoman structure, before reaching St. Stephen's Cathedral, which has an interesting history linked to the Sports Palace and the Albanian Communist Women's Congress.

Before leaving Shkodra, you'll have another 1 hour of free time to explore the city and buy a souvenir. We recommend visiting the Marubi National Museum of Photography and local artisanal stands.

We will then begin our journey back, concluding the trip 8-9 hours after it begins.
