Kruja Castle
Explore Kruja Castle, the hilltop fortress that became the stronghold of Albania’s national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, during the 15th-century resistance against the Ottoman Empire. Walk through its stone gates and imagine the battles that once took place here while enjoying panoramic views of the Adriatic plain and surrounding mountains. Inside the walls, travelers can visit the Skanderbeg Museum (optional), which displays weapons, maps, and artifacts from the period, and the nearby Ethnographic Museum, housed in a beautifully preserved traditional home. The castle grounds also feature cafés and viewing terraces — ideal for relaxing and taking memorable photos of this historic site.
Ethnographic Museum of Kruja
Step inside the Ethnographic Museum of Kruja, housed in a beautifully preserved 18th-century traditional home that once belonged to a prominent local family. The museum offers a vivid glimpse into Albanian life during the Ottoman period, showcasing authentic furniture, handmade textiles, copper kitchenware, and traditional clothing. Visitors can explore each room to see how families lived, cooked, and entertained guests centuries ago. The house also features a charming courtyard and wooden balcony with views of the castle walls — perfect for photos and a quiet moment to take in the atmosphere.

4.00Daniel our guide was very friendly and informative. Loved the castle and gardens and there is a lovely restaurant near the top with fabulous views. Not expensive either. The little bazaar is a nice change and chance to buy some souvenirs. Euros are widely accepted.
Lovely and informative tour of Berat and Lake Belshi

5.00A wonderful few hours exploring some key places in Albanian history. Enjoyable trip up into the mountains, with breathtaking views spanning 180 degrees, but also highly informative. Geri (Gerhard?) our guide was highly knowledgeable and gave informative descriptions of all key points along the tour, and also about various sights on the drive to Kruje. I learned so much on the tour, and was then able to stroll around the bazaar and restaurants in my own time before the return journey. I highly recommend this trip if visiting Durres, whether you want to see the sights or to learn some fascinating history of Albanians and their culture!
We were satisfied!
