The hospitality of its people and its vibrant artistic legacy make this tour an essential experience to understand the Albanian identity.
We will depart from your selected pickup point towards Lezhe, known in ancient times as Lissus, to visit the Mausoleum of Skanderbeg, Albania’s national hero, and its ancient city walls. We will continue to Shkodra, the most important city in the north, to visit the Marubi Photography Museum and the impressive Rozafa Castle.
