From Tirana: Kruja castle, Old Bazaar & Sarisalltik view point

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 by driving towards Sari Salltik. Enjoy a scenic ride up a panoramic mountain road to visit this holy site, which holds significance in the Bektashi religion. Perched at 1176 meters above sea level, the cave shrine offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

After visiting Sari Salltik, we continue to Kruja city, where we begin our next visit with a guided walking tour inside the Castle of Kruja. The castle houses Skanderbeg’s Museum, dedicated to the legendary Albanian resistance against the Ottomans, led by national hero Skanderbeg in the 15th century.

See a replica of Skanderbeg’s helmet and sword in the main hall, along with the flags and crests of noble families who supported him. The guide will provide fascinating historical insights about this significant period.

Next, you have the option to visit the Ethnographic Museum, located in a beautifully preserved Ottoman-era house. This museum offers an authentic glimpse into the lifestyle, traditions, and crafts of the region from centuries past.

FREE TIME/LUNCH: After soaking in the culture and history, enjoy 1 hour 45 minutes of free time to explore the Old Bazaar, take photos and enjoy the lunch.

After the visit to the bazaar, we will return to Tirana.

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.
