Want to explore the world in all its diversity and make every trip as rich as possible? The “Montenegro – Albania” tour is the best way to discover Europe’s most mysterious country. For several decades, this state was isolated from everyone. 700,000 bunkers were built to protect against an “external enemy.” After the fall of the dictatorship, the country opened its borders and began to develop at a record pace. Skyscrapers, urban projects, and well-maintained parks are emerging. Discover a country few people know about!

• Albania: Rozafa Castle

An impressive fortification, founded by Illyrian tribes around the 3rd century BC. The fortress survived many raids and sieges, and throughout its history, it was rebuilt by Romans, Turks, and Serbs. This place is shrouded in the sad legend of the beautiful girl Rozafa, who was walled into the fortress to ensure it would never fall. A true medieval atmosphere still lingers here. Today, it’s one of the country’s most popular attractions.

Together with your guide, you’ll stroll through the castle’s cobbled streets. You’ll see well-preserved stone walls and bastions, as well as the remains of ancient structures within the fortress. Barracks, wells, warehouses, and cathedrals have survived to this day. The entire complex consists of two levels. Our guide will transport you to the past, immersing you in tales of ancient battles.

We’ll ascend to one of the panoramic bastions, offering magnificent views of the beautiful city of Shkodër, the confluence of the Buna and Drin rivers, and the waters of Lake Skadar. From here, you can clearly see how beautiful and diverse Albania is.

• Albania: Shkodër City

This is one of the oldest cities on the Balkan Peninsula, founded around the 4th century BC. Throughout its history, it played a vital role as a transport, military, industrial, and cultural center. Different cultures, religions, and customs are intricately intertwined here. This place will impress even the most experienced traveler! Everything here is strange for a European: even the popular mode of transport, with one front wheel, causes slight bewilderment. The neat houses are very charming. Shops, decorated in an oriental style, surprise with their slight disarray. Bright new buildings stand next to old, neglected ones. This picture evokes conflicting feelings but certainly leaves no one indifferent.

During the “Montenegro – Albania” tour, we’ll head to the historic city center. The facades of the houses were restored in the 19th century, creating a sense of “new antiquity.” You’ll see the monument to Maria Theresa, the Abu Bakr Mosque, and Democracy Square with its fountain. There are also countless cafes and shops here. We’ll visit old souvenir shops and workshops where unique filigree silver items are crafted!

You can learn about the local customs and immerse yourself in the present and past at the Marubi National Museum of Photography, which features a retro photo chronicle from the 19th century.

Few people know that the largest handmade Venetian mask factory is located right in Shkodër. If you wish, we can stop by. Mask prices range from 20-60 euros.

• Albania: Krujë Castle-City

One of the most amazing stops on the “Montenegro – Albania” tour! An impressive castle-city atop a mountain, offering unique views of the surroundings. You’ll get acquainted with the life, history, and cuisine of Albania during the reign of national hero Skanderbeg.

Besides museums and a traditional restaurant, there’s a picturesque Old Bazaar here, selling interesting souvenirs, antiques, and national crafts. If you’re lucky, you might even witness the process of carpet and shoe making firsthand.

• Albania: Tirana

The country’s largest and most dynamically developing city. Together with your guide, you’ll see Tirana’s main streets, delving into the history of this ancient city from its founding to the present day. Everything here is full of contrasts: skyscrapers and communist-era buildings, national museums and folk artisan crafts, mosques and Orthodox cathedrals, Mercedes and tricycles.

The residential buildings are a story in themselves! After the fall of Hoxha’s dictatorship, Albanians repainted the gray blocks in bright colors to forget the totalitarian regime as quickly as possible.

You’ll visit Skanderbeg Square, which, during totalitarianism, created an illusion of state power. Now, it houses government buildings, multi-story hotels, a modern opera house, the National Historical Museum, the Clock Tower, the old Et’hem Bey Mosque, and a monument to the national hero Skanderbeg. All these architectural structures were built in different historical periods, creating the effect of being in several eras at once.

We’ll stroll through the Blloku district – one of the capital’s wealthiest and most developed areas. During Enver Hoxha’s rule, it was closed to ordinary residents; now, it’s home to many shops and cafes. You’ll be struck by the urban power of the marvelous structure called “The Pyramid”: this place was created as a mausoleum for the dictator, but today the building has become a hangout spot for progressive Albanian youth.

Optionally, you can visit the preserved active bunkers, which now function as museums – BunkArt 1 and BunkArt 2.

• Albania: Shopping

Don’t forget that during your trip to Albania, you can make many great purchases. In the country, you can buy jewelry, high-quality Italian clothing, and shoes for little money. Numerous reviews from experienced tourists also confirm this.

Tirana and Shkodër are filled with local markets, small shops, and shopping centers. Shopping isn’t limited to buying souvenirs and branded items. In Albania, there’s a wide range of spices, and olive oil is comparable to the famous Greek variety. It’s worth grabbing a bottle of the legendary “Skanderbeg” cognac or a bottle of wonderful rakia, made according to ancient recipes. Delicious vegetables and fruits are much cheaper than in neighboring countries.

Albania is authentic in everything. It combines centuries-old traditions with modern dynamism. Architectural sanctuaries stand next to faceless buildings from half a century ago. The contrast of reality is striking. On our “Montenegro – Albania” tour, you’ll get acquainted with the country’s historical heritage, the flavor of local life, and its culture. You’ll experience traditional life and taste local cuisine! You’ll gain vivid impressions and make pleasant purchases. Immerse yourself in the unforgettable atmosphere of a reviving state, and take home memories, souvenirs, and emotions. The “Montenegro – Albania” tour is a real find for curious tourists!

By booking this convertible tour, you’ll get maximum impressions from the road and beautiful 360-degree panoramas.
