Shkoder Tours & Trips

End your Albanian Alps trip with a stop in Shkoder, northern Albania's largest city, where you'll have dinner on the shores of Shkoder Lake—the Balkans' biggest lake. Take a walk through the pedestrian area with time for ice cream before heading to Tirana, arriving between 5-8 PM depending on traffic.

You'll stay at the 3-star Shkodra Promenade Hotel for two nights while checking out the legendary Rozafa Castle, dramatically perched above three converging rivers with panoramic views. Walk along Shkodra Lake's promenade and the historic pedestrian center of one of the Balkans' oldest cities, then from Shkoder, head out on full-day trips to Theth's Blue Eye and the beautiful Komani Lake boat journey to Shala River.

This 2-day trip from Tirana takes you along Montenegro's Adriatic coast, starting with a boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks in Perast where you'll get great views over Kotor Bay. You'll walk through Kotor's UNESCO-listed Old Town, have time to swim at Budva's beaches, and check out the old cobbled streets inside Ulcinj Castle. There's an overnight stay at a 4-star hotel in Budva or Ulqin with breakfast, plus transport sorted throughout.

Start from Scanderbeg Square in Tirana at 8am and travel through Shkoder to reach the remote Thethi Valley in Albania's Accursed Mountains, where you'll spend the night in a traditional guesthouse. Hike to Grunasi Waterfall and the Blue Eye of Kapre, a crystal-clear spring near Nderlysaj village, and learn about the region's blood feuds and isolation towers.

Stop for 45 minutes in Shkoder's pedestrian boulevard to grab coffee and see the mix of history and modern cafés after your time in the rugged Albanian Alps. Hike for about 1.5 hours to reach the Blue Eye of Theth and Grunas Waterfall, plus stay in a hotel with all meals included.
