Durrës & Krujë 1 Day Tour

This full-day guided tour from Tirana combines two of Albania’s most significant historic destinations. Visit Kruja Castle and the Skanderbeg Museum, enjoy lunch overlooking the plains of Kruja, then spend the afternoon exploring the ancient Roman and Byzantine heritage of Durrës. Prices start from €69 per adult. The private tour includes a dedicated tour director, private deluxe motor coach, museum entry fees, and a full lunch with beer or wine.

Who This Tour Is For

Kruja is closely linked to Albania’s national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, who defended the city’s mountain fortress against the Ottoman Empire throughout much of the 15th century. Durrës, located along the coast near Tirana, is one of the oldest cities in the Balkans and is home to important Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian remains, including its ancient amphitheatre, city walls, and Venetian Tower.

This day tour brings the two destinations together in one experience, starting with Kruja Castle and its historic bazaar in the morning, followed by a sit-down lunch featuring local food and views across the plains. The afternoon continues in Durrës with a walking tour through around two thousand years of history. It is a good choice for history enthusiasts, food lovers, and first-time visitors who want to explore beyond Tirana without committing to a multi-day trip.
