The experience
This is where memories begin.
Shkoder is not just a city — it’s an atmosphere you fall in love with from the very first moments.
A city of bicycles, quiet streets, and the distinctive northern character of Albania.
We will head up to Rozafa Castle — a place tied to one of the most touching legends in the country, which you will hear right on site.
From the top, you’ll enjoy views that attract visitors from all over Europe: the rooftops of the city, the Lead Mosque, and the meeting point of two rivers.
Next — a walk through Shkoder itself:
cozy streets, local life, and the feeling of authentic Albania, far from tourist crowds.
We continue to the 18th-century Mesi Bridge — one of the most beautiful Ottoman bridges in the country, set in a scenic natural landscape.
After that — a visit to the Arlecchino workshop,
where handcrafted carnival masks are created — pieces you would usually find in Venice, but here you can see how they are made.
Finally we visit the village of Shiroka on the shores of Lake Shkoder:
lunch with fresh fish, peaceful waters, surrounding mountains, and a sense of complete relaxation.
Swimming in the lake is optional.
This is not just a tour to see Albania — it’s a chance to truly experience it.
