Best Places to Visit in Gjirokaster

Nestled in the heart of Albania, Gjirokaster is a city that whispers tales of bygone eras through its cobbled streets and stone houses. This UNESCO World Heritage site, often referred to as the "City of Stone," is a treasure trove of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. For those yearning to explore the wonders of Gjirokaster, our company, Happytripz, offers immersive excursions that promise to enrich your travel experience.

Gjirokaster Castle

At the pinnacle of the city's attractions is the Gjirokaster Castle. This fortress, dating back to the 12th century, stands as a sentinel over the city. Visitors can delve into the past as they wander through the castle's chambers and ramparts, and those with a penchant for history will be delighted by the on-site museum showcasing artifacts from the region. The panoramic views of the Drino Valley from the castle walls are a photographer's dream and a memory to cherish.

Ethnographic Museum

Another gem is the Ethnographic Museum, located in the former home of Enver Hoxha, Albania's communist leader. This museum offers a glimpse into traditional Albanian life, with exhibits that display folk costumes, household items, and tools. It's a cultural journey that provides context to the city's rich heritage.

The Bazaar

For a taste of local life, the Bazaar of Gjirokaster is a must-visit. This bustling market, with its authentic shops and cafes, is perfect for those looking to indulge in local crafts and culinary delights. Stroll through the maze of vendors and let the aroma of traditional dishes lead you to a memorable meal.
