Despite the fact that it is not weekend but it is a normal day of the week, there are still many tourists at the “Rozafa” castle in the city of Shkodra.

This has also been noticed along the museum part in the city of Shkodra, thus promising a very good tourist season in the entire municipality of Shkodra.

There are many tourists, but Polish citizens hold the record.

Viktoria Mrovjec works as a tourist guide for Polish citizens in Albania.

“We came with a Polish group that traveled from Montenegro. They love Albania because of the sun and weather. It is the second tour we organize for this year and there is a great desire of Poles to visit Albania as it is an unexplored country”, says Viktoria Mrovjec.

Even for the guide from Shkodra, Shkëlqim Tuzi, he says that this year looks very good and there is an increase in bookings by about 20-30%.

The head of the Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage in Shkodër, Besara Podgorica, estimates that the number of tourists is increasing in all the cultural heritage sites in the entire district, while the “Rozafa” castle remains the champion.

“We have started a good tourist season where the “Rozafa” castle continues to remain one of the tourist destinations for local and foreign visitors. Referring to the figures in this first 4 months of 2023, we have about 30 thousand tourists and over this figure, who have chosen the “Rozafa” castle as their most favorite destination, says Podgorica.
