Step back in time at the Castle of Kruja, a historic fortress that holds a special place in Albanian history. Wander the grounds and feel the legacy of the national hero, Skanderbeg. The site offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, stretching to the Adriatic Sea on clear days. While the castle grounds are free to explore, the Skanderbeg Museum inside requires a small entrance fee for a deeper look into the history. The walk up through the old bazaar to the castle is part of the experience, so comfortable shoes are recommended for the cobblestone paths.
