Stop at
Kruja Bazaar, Kruje Albania
The Kruja Bazaar is famous for being one of the oldest in Albania. The construction of the beautiful and fascinating marketplace of Krujë dates back over 400 years, and was the starting point of free trade among the city’s most established merchants.

Skanderbeg Museum, Kruje Albania
The National Museum “Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg” is one of the most visited museums in Albania. Located inside the ruins of the centuries-old Castle of Kruja, the museum opened in 1982. The building is conceived as a fortress of a medieval Albanian castle with a main focus on documenting the life and work of Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, the country’s national hero.
Stop at
Kruje Castle, Kruje Albania
Krujë Castle has proudly stood on top of a rocky cliff, high above its city, for the last fifteen centuries. It has witnessed the long turbulent history of this place, which was once the centre of Arbëria (Albania’s ancient name). At a time when the Ottoman Empire ruled over a large swathe of Europe, including Constantinople and the Balkans, this castle remained undefeated for thirty-five years, thanks to Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg, the legendary Albanian hero who defended its walls until his death.
