9 Museum Experiences in Albania Worth Booking

1.Half-Day Kruja Trip and Skanderbeg Museum Entry

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 41 reviews · 5 hours · from $61Our pick

Half-day Kruja trip from Tirana with Skanderbeg Museum, hilltop castle views, Old Bazaar shopping, and the Sari Salltik shrine.

“This tour is quite disappointing to say the least. The tour guide was not engaging at all. He didn't even introduce himself (we don't know his name) and when we arrived at Krujë he barely limited himself to pointing at stuff throughout the way and giving fairly obvious explanations (this is a helmet, this is a book...). Also, Krujë Castle and the Museum themselves don't feel worth it. The museum is quite mediocre, with not a lot of authentic material and very small. The old bazar is a small collection of souvenir shops all selling the same things. Overall, 2 hours total in the car from Tirana (there and back)…”

Krujë day trip from Durres or Golem with Kruja Castle, Skanderbeg Museum, Old Bazaar shopping, and panoramic lunch.

“What an unforgettable day! We joined the day trip from Durrës to Kruja and it was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Albania. The journey itself was so comfortable — clean bus, free drinks, WiFi, and even great music along the way! Our driver was absolutely incredible — so kind, helpful, and full of knowledge about every place we visited. He suggested an amazing local restaurant where we had a very good traditional meal! We explored all the main historical sites, and learned so many interesting stories. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. I can’t recommend this shuttle service enough — if you’re in Durrës…”
