Rozafa Castle

 

WHEN AND WHERE WILL WE START?

The tour departs from Kotor at 7:30 in the morning, which is the standard time for all our trips. After a maximum of 45 minutes of driving, we will arrive in Budva, where we will pick up guests. We will arrive in Podgorica 60 minutes later, picking up the guests and continuing our journey. If guests take the private tour we will pick up them from their accommodations. 

 

The departure point in Kotor is from the  ECO PETROL gas station next to the main bus station.
The departure point in Budva is from the ECO PETROL gas station next to the hotel Slovenska Plaža
The departure point in Podgorica is from the PETROL gas station next to the main bus station.

 

NOTE: MH Travel Agency is the only one that organizes excursions to Albania departures from Kotor, but guests should be aware that a tour can last up to 15 hours.  Because of that, it is not recommended for small kids. If we don't have guests from Podgorica on the tour, we will go straight to the Sukobin border crossing, much closer to the cities of Kotor and Budva.

 

 WHERE WE WILL GO?

We will go to the city of Shkodra, Rozafa Castle, and the city of Kruje.

 

SHKODRA (SHKODËR)

m Shkoder center of the town 001

The closest city to Montenegro is Shkodra where we will go straight after crossing the border. The Shkodra Region is the second-largest among the 12 regions in Albania. Guests will see the slopes of the Prokletije mountain massif, also known as the Southern Alps, and the Albanian part of Skadar Lake. This is one of the oldest and most historic places in Albania, as well as an important cultural and economic center.

m Shkodra Pedonalja pedestrian street 001

When we arrive in Shkodra, we will first walk along the most popular pedestrian street named Kolë Idromeno (1860-1939) who was a famous Albanian sculptor, photographer, architect, and engineer. The street is full of charming cafes and restaurants where we will have a short refreshment, and then we will walk downtown. We will start with the Abu Baker Mosque which is the focal point of the local Muslim community that dominates the center of Skhodra. This mosque is also known as the Al-Zamil Mosque. It was built in 1995 with funds from Saudi Arabia and Egypt and was extensively renovated in 2008.

m Shkoder Xhamia e Madhe 001

At the beginning of the street, guests will see a monument to Mother Teresa (Nene Teresa) and a statue of the poet Luigi Gurakuqi (1879-1925), who was born in Shkodra. Today, the University of Shkodra is named after him. We will walk slowly to Shatervani Central Park, which is surrounded by the City Hall, the Gymnasium (28 Nentori), the University, and the Parrucë Mosque. You will also see old people playing traditional metal dominoes, which is a very common game in Albania.

 

ROZAFA CASTLE (KALAJA E ROZAFËS)

m Shkodra Rozafa Castle 001

After touring the city center we will go to Rozafa Castle 2,5 km southwest of the center of Shkodra. One of the main reasons to visit the castle is its location on a 130 m high hill with a panoramic view of Shkodra, the rivers Buna and Drini, as well as the southern end of Skadar Lake. Rozafa Castle was founded by the Illyrians and was later rebuilt several times by the Romans, Venetians, and Ottomans. The ruins of the castle consist of 3 courtyards and several buildings. The oldest still existing building on the castle is the church of St.Stephen dating from 1319.

m Shkoder view of city and River Buna from Rozafa Castle 001

Next to Rozafa Castle, there is a lead mosque with several domes (Xamia e Plumbit) dating from 1773, when it was built in the Ottoman style by Memet-pasha Bushati. The name Lead Mosque comes from the material used for the roof and domes. The visit to the castle lasts about 45 minutes after which we will continue our journey to Kruje.

 

KRUJE (KRUJË)

m Museum Kruje 001

The town of Kruje is located 30 km before Tirana between Mount Kruje and the river Ishëm. Kruje is an important tourist center in Albania. The name “Krujë” is thought to have originated from the word “front head” (water source) because Kruja has many springs. This area gave Albanian history the name of Albania as the first state-Albanian feudal principality of Arber. The Albanian national hero Skanderbeg chose Kruje as the capital of the country.

m Museum Kruje

At the Skanderbeg Kastrioti Museum in the Old Town of Kruja, guests will see exhibits from the era of Illyrians and Romans, then Skanderbeg's works, publications, paintings, sculptures, documents, weapons, study room, library, etc. The town of Kruja is rich in cultural monuments, ethnography, and archeological sites. Kruja has been declared a "city of heroes" as one of the most famous Albanian cities. The museum was restored during the period of communist isolation.

m Kruje Museum Helmet and sword of Skanderbeg 001

The city’s castle and its historical museum are certainly the two most important attractions, including the characteristic cobbled street of the Old Bazaar, which has 70 traditional shops where guests can buy traditional products: copper utensils, folk costumes, wool products, silver jewelry, carpets, handicrafts, embroidery, antiques, and a lot of handmade souvenirs.

m Kruje traditional baazar 001

And finally, a traditional lunch will be the best end of the tour. Albanian food is very tasty and very organic. In the case that we need to wait at the border longer, we will skip lunch. After lunch, we will be heading back to Podgorica, Budva, and Kotor.

 

NOTE:  In the case of very hot weather, we will first visit Kruje in the mountainous area, and then we will visit Skhodra. It will be more pleasant to hike up to Rozafa Castle in the afternoon hours.
