Description
Discover the hidden gems of Durrës on a small-group guided walking tour. Explore the Roman Amphitheater, visit the Balcony of Durrës for panoramic views, and learn about the city's past and present.
Meet your guide and set off on a walking tour of Durrës, one of Albania’s oldest cities. Stroll through the historic center as your guide explains how Durrës grew from an important Roman port into the seaside city you see now.
Along the way, hear stories about daily life in the past, small details you might otherwise miss, and how history still shows up in the city today.
The main stop of the tour is the Roman Amphitheater of Durrës, with entrance ticket included. Built in the 2nd century AD, it’s the largest amphitheater in the Balkans. Inside, your guide will explain how it was used, what remains today, and why parts of it were hidden for centuries. Visit the underground areas and see early Christian mosaics.
Afterward, continue to the Balcony of Durrës, a hidden viewpoint tucked away in the narrow streets of a typical Albanian neighborhood. It’s a spot mostly known and frequented by locals. From here, enjoy open views over the city and recognize many of the places you’ve just explored — this time from above, offering a different and unexpected perspective on Durrës.
At the end of the tour, you can choose to stay at the Balcony to enjoy the sea views and the sunset, or head back down following the guide’s directions if you’d like to walk along the seaside on your own or relax with a drink or a meal at one of the many nearby bars and restaurants.
