The starting location is in front of "Bashkia" Shkodër or the Town Hall. Our guide will be waiting in front of the Municipality for you to show up. If you run a little late, you may find us at the park in front of the Town Hall heading toward Grand Hotel Europa. We do suggest making a request by email and not just show up without an advance notice.

The length of this tour is approximately 2 hours, and we will cover the center of the town, not the main pedestrian road but rather secondary roads around it. Rozafa Castle is not part of this tour since the distance to cover is too long and will end up prolonging the tour for more than 4 hours. We offer the Rozafa Castle at a different time.

In the Free Walking Tour Shkodër we will cover Shkodra during the Albanian Independence period, the communist regime, the anti-communist movement in Shkodër, but also we would talk about the diverse religions in town and about all what makes Shkodër unique in the area: the "biking lifestyle". Every year we have thousands of travelers that join us in this tour. We highly suggest you attend it.
