Join a guided tour of Kruja city to explore all its iconic attractions. Visit Kruja Castle, Skanderbeg’s Museum, the Old Bazaar, and Sari Salltik mountain.

We will pick you up from the hotel and start the tour to Kruja city. After around one hour driving you are in Kruja and we continue the first visit (walking guided tour) inside the Castle of Kruja, which houses Skanderbeg’s Museum. It was the epicenter of the legendary Albanian resistance to the Ottomans, led by national hero Skanderbeg in the 15th century.

See a copy of the helmet and the sword of Scanderbeg in the main hall, the flags and stems of prominent families of that time who supported the national hero and a lot of the history telling by the guide.

The Ethnographic Museum (optional), recently renovated and now open for visits, is housed in an old Ottoman-era residence. This museum offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the region during that historical period

After soaking in the culture and history, you will have 40 minutes free time to discover the current arts and crafts in the Old Bazaar. Look for souvenirs, including intricate local handicrafts.

Finally, driving by car on a panoramic mountain road to visit the holy site of Sari Salltik and to learn more about Bektashi religion. Head to this cave located on the edge of a mountain 1176 meters high and also enjoy the amazing view from the top of the mountain.

Afterward, head back to Tirana.
NOTE: During the visit to the Sari Salltik cave, it is possible (though rare) to encounter local religious rituals involving animal sacrifices; if this is a concern, please inform your tour guide in advance.
