Shkoder

On the shores of Lake Skadar, at the foot of the Albanian Alps, lies the largest city in northern Albania , namely Shkodër . For many years it was not a very attractive point on the map of this Balkan country. However, thanks to the investments made in it, tourists began to really appreciate it. Many monuments, interesting museums and viewpoints await them there. Above all, however, Shkodra gives a pretty good insight into the history, culture and traditions of Albania .

For whom?

Shkodra is the first city visited by tourists entering Albania from the north. For most, it is a short stop on the way south, but more and more often it is also chosen as a base for exploring this part of the country . It is close from here to Thethi , located among the Albanian Alps, to the phenomenal Lake Komani and Lake Skadar, or to the sandy beaches of Velipoj . However, Shkoder itself is also remarkable. The renovated old town, the newly created museum of photography or the ruins of Rozafa Castle allow you to get to know Albania a little better. Shkodra will especially appeal to those who like to visit and learn about history surrounded by magnificent views.
