HIGHLIGHTS
  • Visit Kruja, the medieval chief-town of Albania
  • Find the best souvenirs of Albania in the bazaar of Kruja
  • Visit Tirana, the capital and the beating heart of Albania
In just one day, visit the attractions of Tirana and Kruja and learn about the origins of the Albanians, their history and culture.

We will pick you up at Scanderbeg Square in Tirana, 8:30 am, and drive you up to Kruja town. Kruja was the most important Albanian town during the 15th century, successfully withstanding at least 3 major sieges by the Ottoman Empire. Here, you'll step back into medieval history by visiting the castle and Scanderbeg Museum. Then, walk through the Old Bazaar and brows the old shops selling traditional handmade items.

Next, we will drive you to Tirana, the capital of Albania. As you walk around the Scanderbeg square, you'll see an interesting complex of buildings reflecting the periods that have influenced Tirana's architecture. Only the Clock Tower and Et'hem Bey Mosque remain as reminders of the city's Ottoman past. The communist government left its own footprint by destroying the Ottoman Bazaar and building the new Opera and Ballet House on the site.

Continue to King's Palace and National Martyrs Boulevard. You'll learn about former dictator Enver Hoxha by visiting the pyramid meant to be a museum of his life and the "Bllok" zone where he and other communist leaders lived. This area that was once prohibited is now a favourite neighbourhood of young people, businesses and coffee shops.

At the end of the tour, around 3:30 pm, we will take you back to Scanderbeg square in the centre of Tirana city, where we started our day and here your wonderful tour is over.
