Looking for things to do in Albania, start at the Blue Eye, a natural spring 50 meters deep with crystal-clear waters. Continue to Butrint National Park, where ancient Greek and Roman ruins stretch across 94 square kilometers. End with the Rozafa Castle in Shkodër, offering panoramic views of the lake and the mountains.
Shkodër
Here myth meets history at the walls of a city that overlooks three countries. You will walk on 2,400-year-old stones and get lost in a panoramic sunset.
Rychlá fakta: Legenda praví, že hradby hradu byly postaveny obětováním ženy, Rozaffy, která byla zaživa zazděna do hradeb, aby je udržela pohromadě. Z vyvýšeniny, kde se hrad nachází, tvé oči obejmou zároveň Skadarské jezero, řeku Bunu a albánské Alpy.
Zajímavosti: Uvnitř hradu, mezi ruinami, najdeš pozůstatky kostela ze 13. století a také fresky, které se na některých místech dochovaly dodnes. Každé léto se jeho nádvoří promění v divadelní scénu a hostí mezinárodní divadelní festival města s představeními pod hvězdnou oblohou.
Saranda
A spring with water so clear it seems almost unreal. You will wander along wooden paths through a lush green forest, while the deep blue of the water captivates you.
Rychlá fakta: The water emerges from a depth of more than 50 meters and springs forth at a rate of about 6 cubic meters per second. The water temperature remains at 10-12 degrees Celsius all year round, which makes swimming in the summer particularly refreshing.
Zajímavosti: Beneath the surface, divers have explored the spring to a depth of over 50 meters without yet reaching the bottom, making the true depth unknown. The striking blue hue is created by the incredible clarity of the water, which reflects light in a way that resembles a living sapphire.
Saranda
The best view of Saranda awaits at the top of a hill, with Corfu stretching out before you. You climb the walls and enjoy the sunset over the Ionian Sea.
Rychlá fakta: Hrad se tyčí na kopci, který nabízí panoramatický výhled na celý přístav Sarandy a řecké ostrovy Korfu naproti. Je pojmenován po rodině Lëkurësi, místní šlechtické rodině, která oblast vlastnila během osmanského období.
Zajímavosti: Jeho skutečnou předností je, že stojí na kopci jen pár minut pěšky od centra města, což je u tak dobře zachovaných hradů vzácné. Z jeho hradeb vidíte zároveň obě pobřeží, albánské i korfské, z jedinečného úhlu pohledu, který vyráží dech.
Saranda
A whole ancient world awaits among olive trees and marshes. You will walk from Greek walls and Roman baths to an acropolis overlooking the sea.
Rychlá fakta: Tisíce let historie se vejde do jediného prostoru, od řecké kolonie ze 6. století př. n. l. až po byzantskou pevnost a benátskou věž. Divadlo s 2 500 místy zůstává téměř netknuté a z horních sedadel je stále slyšet zvuk moře.
Zajímavosti: Baptisterium ze 6. století ukrývá úžasnou mozaikovou podlahu s pávy a ptáky, barvy, které zůstávají živé i po 1 500 letech. Jen málo návštěvníků vystoupá na benátský hrad na vrcholu, odkud vidíte celý park, kanál Vivari a ostrov Korfu v modři obzoru.
Gjirokastër
A walk along the imposing walls offers panoramic views of the city and the Drin valley. Discover underground tunnels, museums, and a clock tower that has been keeping time for two centuries.
Rychlá fakta: Hrad se tyčí na kopci ve výšce 336 metrů a první opevnění pochází ze 6. století, kdy ho postavily místní kmeny. Hodinová věž, přistavěná v roce 1811, má mechanismus vyrobený v Konstantinopoli, který funguje dodnes.
Zajímavosti: Uvnitř hradu sídlí muzeum vojenského letectví se 45 letadly, mezi nimiž je i ukořistěné americké letadlo, které v roce 1957 nouzově přistálo v zemi a zadržely ho komunistické úřady. Italské letadlo Fiat G.50, které je vystaveno spolu s ostatními exponáty, se nachází v podzemních chodbách procházejících pod základy pevnosti.


Tirana
Rychlá fakta: Rozlehlé otevřené náměstí rámuje vztyčenou jezdeckou sochu uprostřed, kde se místní a studenti mísí mezi monumentálními budovami a širokými promenádami. Noc přináší pouliční hudebníky a příležitostné kavárny, zatímco světlá mramorová dlažba zachycuje světla a proměňuje prostor v jasné jeviště pro festivaly.
Zajímavosti: Tyčící se bronzový jezdec kotví náměstí, místní si již dlouho tře pravý třmen koně pro štěstí, až kov září pod turistickými fotoaparáty. Po rekonstrukci v roce 2017 bylo otevřené prostranství vydlážděno zhruba 20 000 světlými a tmavými žulovými deskami, takže když dopadne odpolední slunce, vzniká teplá mozaika zlaté a uhlové barvy, která slabě voní kávou z nedalekých kaváren.
Durrës
The largest Roman arena in the Balkans awaits your exploration. You will walk among 1,000-year-old frescoes and corridors that heard the roar of gladiators.
Rychlá fakta: It holds about 15,000 spectators and is the largest Roman amphitheater ever discovered in Albania. Its arena lies at a depth of about 20 meters below the current level of the city, as centuries have buried a large part of it.
Zajímavosti: Beneath the ruins, 10th-century frescoes were found in incredibly good condition, adorning an early Christian chapel within the seating area. Archaeologists estimate that it was used for gladiatorial games for over 300 years, before being converted into a Christian place of worship.
Berat
A living castle where history breathes within inhabited houses and stone walls. You will walk through 2,400-year-old streets among churches, residents, and magical views.
Rychlá fakta: About 1,600 people still live within its walls, making it one of the few inhabited castle-towns in the Balkans. The Church of the Virgin of Blachernae features unique frescoes dating from the 16th century.
Zajímavosti: The residents of the houses inside the castle have continued the tradition of winemaking and craftsmanship for centuries, with many courtyards hiding old grape presses. As you walk along the cobbled alleys, you will see elderly women knitting lace on their doorsteps and offering you raki, as if nothing has changed since the Ottoman period.
Krujë
An authentic Ottoman house that comes to life before your eyes. You will see up close how the residents of Kruja lived two centuries ago.
Rychlá fakta: Inside the castle of Kruja, this 19th-century Ottoman manor houses over 200 objects of everyday life. Its stone walls reach 60 centimeters in thickness, keeping the cool even during the hottest summer month.
Zajímavosti: On the ground floor you will see the original olive press that operated with the whole family, while the guest room has a ceiling decorated with painted flowers that have not faded in 150 years. The hosts of the house received up to 40 guests at once, and the special reception room shows exactly how they hosted so many people in such a compact space.
Krujë
A medieval fortress that kept the Ottomans out for 25 years. Climb the walls and experience the view that Skanderbeg himself once saw.
Rychlá fakta: The castle rises on a 608-meter hill and offers panoramic views over the plain and the sea. Within its walls houses the National Museum of Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, which honors Albania's national hero.
Zajímavosti: The museum keeps the genuine sword of Skanderbeg, which is said to have weighed so much that only he himself could lift it. The clock tower inside the castle dates from the Ottoman period and still stands upright after five centuries.
