Welcome to Lezhë, a city where Albania's heart beats strong with history. You can feel the nation's spirit at the Skanderbeg Memorial, the final resting place of our national hero. For the best views, take a walk up the hill to Lezhë Castle; the panoramic sight of the city, the Drin River, and the Adriatic coastline is truly worth the effort. While it's a compact city you can explore in a day or two, its real charm lies in its authentic feel, a perfect, less-crowded base for adventures to nearby beaches or the northern mountains.
