UNESCO heritage town to see if you are in Albania. Characteristic architecture and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, especially at sunset. There are museums and castle. Bars , restaurants and souvenir shops at will. Extremely touristy but definitely recommended. Prepare to walk uphill.

To see. This UNESCO World Heritage town has a quaint old town with almost typical small shops, a beautiful fortress to visit, the Cold War tunnel at the entrance to the old town and some houses left over from the Ottoman period. Nice also the.road to get there. Too bad they didn't think of a single ticket for admission to all the sights.
