Discover the charm of Gjirokastër on a guided tour of the city's Old Bazaar, Gjirokastër Castle, and the Ethnographic Museum. Enjoy a traditional Albanian lunch in the Old Town and take in the views from a rooftop café.

Start your tour at the Old Bazaar and stroll through the cobbled streets lined with artisan shops, cafés, and local crafts. Explore the massive hilltop fortress of Gjirokastër Castle, offering panoramic views of the valley. Inside, visit the Arms Museum and Cold War-era exhibits, including the famous American spy plane.

Visit Skenduli House or Zekate House and step into a well-preserved Ottoman-era home to experience traditional architecture, stone craftsmanship, and life in a wealthy 19th-century household. Enjoy a traditional Albanian meal at a local tavern—try specialties like qifqi (rice balls), stuffed peppers, and homemade raki.

Learn about the city's cultural heritage through clothing, tools, and furniture from past centuries at the Ethnographic Museum, located where Albania’s former dictator was born. If you choose, take a short scenic walk outside town through old aqueduct remains and beautiful landscapes to the Ali Pasha Bridge.

Wrap up your tour with coffee or dessert at a rooftop café. Relax with views over the red-tiled rooftops and stone streets of Gjirokastër.
