Discover the wonders of Albania on a captivating tour of Kruja Castle, the Old Bazaar, and Sari Salltik, departing from Tirana or Shkoder. This immersive experience transports you to the heart of Albania's medieval history, offering unique insights into the nation’s proud heritage and legendary figures.

Your adventure begins at the majestic Kruja Castle, where stone walls and ancient towers provide sweeping views of the lush countryside and distant Adriatic Sea. Within the castle, visit the renowned Skanderbeg Museum, dedicated to the national hero who led Albania’s resistance against the Ottoman Empire, and explore a wealth of fascinating artifacts and exhibits.
