Albania · KRUJA CASTLE & THE OLD BAZAAR
8 reviewed
Krujë is the short one: Skanderbeg’s castle on the ridge, the museum built inside it, and a wooden bazaar that has been selling the same rugs and copper for four hundred years. These tours compare on pickup, whether Sari Salltik is included, and how much time you get to bargain.
Guided day trip from Tirana to Sari Salltik cave shrine and Kruja Castle, with Old Bazaar shopping time and mountain views.
“Great trip to see amazing views and a castle. Plenty of free time to poke around the bazaar and have lunch. Ervin was a lot of fun, too. Our driver was spectacular with the rush hour and crazy drivers.”

“Henri was a wonderful guide who explained everything very clearly! He provided insight into the various sites and cities and allowed us to go at our own pace. He was very considerate and accommodating of our mother who is elderly. We were very pleased to have been led by Henri and would gladly follow him around more beautiful sites in the future.”

“Erg leuke trip, vooral speciaal gemaakt door onze gids, die enorm veel vertelde over hetgeen te zien is, maar ook over Albanië en de Albanen. His name?: Bris from Sky Key Travel. Privé tour voor 2 personen, keurig opgehaald en afgezet bij het hotel.”

“Had an amazing time, beautiful views. My guide Genti was very friendly and helpful and enjoyed little picnic at Kruja castle. 10/10”
Kruja Castle, Skenderbeg Museum, Durrës ruins, and Mount Krujë’s Sari Salltik shrine on a guided day trip from Tirana with pickup.
“Our guide Adi was wonderful and made the trip enjoyable and informative. The Kruja castle and museum were the best part of the tour, but we did also enjoy the stop in Durres. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the amount of time spent driving between locations. While Adi did continue to teach us about the surrounding areas we drove through, we would have preferred to have visited only one of the 2 locations and had a more in-depth experience.”

“Kruja was an amazing day, and it was all thanks to our tour guide, Mario! He was like a walking encyclopedia of the city, making history come alive. We ended the day tired but well fed with lasting memories. Thank you.”
Full-day trip from Tirana to Kruja and Durres for castle views, Skanderbeg museum stops, and valley lunch plus ancient ruins.
“Kruja Bazaar and the castle was full of history and the atmosphere and architecture is well maintained. City of Durres is beautiful. Mix of modern and old architectures. The Amphitheatre is still somewhat buried, and new buildings are built over it, but what is shown is impressive. Mimoza, my guide is very knowledgeable and goes into very precise detail of each topic. Highly recommend.”
