If Marvell had existed in the 15th century, we would definitely have seen the blockbusters "Skanderberg: Far from Home" and "Skanderbeg: Homecoming." And their main action would have taken place in the city of Kruja. Your walking tour begins near the monument of Skanderberg. This man is compared to Alexander the Great, his portrait is placed on the largest note of local currency, and lots of streets and squares are named after him. You will then see the Fortress of Kruja. It was the stronghold of Kastrioti's family. Until the very death of Skanderbeg, the Ottomans couldn't take it. You definitely won't miss the Adriatic balcony, where you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the city from the platform near the old tower. Then you can try to haggle at the authentic old bazaar and get a good discount on silver jewelry. If you are curious enough and have some energy left, you can climb the hiking to the tomb of Sari Saltyki and find some fantastic views along the mountain trail. Let's hit the road!

Directions
The Kruja bazzar in Krujë is a historic market street associated with the town’s Ottoman-era trading tradition. Its cobbled lane leads toward Krujë Castle, a landmark closely linked to Skanderbeg and Albania’s resistance to Ottoman expansion in the 15th century. The bazaar’s small, traditional shopfronts evoke the commercial life that developed around the fortified town, where merchants and artisans served local households and travelers. Today, shops display woven textiles, embroidered goods, copperwork, woodcraft, and souvenirs, although not everything for sale is locally made. The setting connects everyday craft traditions with Krujë’s wider historical landscape: the castle and museums are nearby, while the market remains a place to meet shopkeepers and explore Albanian decorative motifs. Its appeal lies as much in the street’s atmosphere as in shopping.
Before you enter
- Wear comfortable shoes for the cobbled street.
- Bring some Albanian lek for small purchases.
