Spring in historical Krujë

#springwander Just an hour from Tirana lies Krujë, a town full of history, charm, and stunning views. The highlight is Krujë Castle, perched on a hilltop with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The castle is home to the Skanderbeg Museum, dedicated to Albania's national hero who led the resistance against the Ottoman Empire. Walking through its stone walls and towers feels like stepping into the past. Below the castle, the old bazaar invites you to wander through cobbled streets lined with traditional shops selling local crafts, carpets, silverwork, and souvenirs. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, perfect for picking up something unique. Krujë is ideal for a half-day or full-day trip. Combine historical exploration with a scenic drive and enjoy a traditional lunch with mountain views at one of the nearby restaurants. #naturalwonders #balkan #thingstodo #travel
