Get ready for a bit of a climb to reach Lezhë Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the city, but the effort is more than worth it. The walk up from the base is a rewarding 20-30 minute journey that reveals layers of history, from Illyrian and Roman times to Venetian and Ottoman rule. Once inside, you're free to explore the ancient walls and ruins at your own pace, rewarded with absolutely stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape, the Drin River, and the Adriatic coast. A small admission fee is required to enter this historic gem.
