City guide

Shkodra

Set in northern Albania on the shore of the largest lake in the Balkans, this is one of the country's oldest settlements, with a past reaching back to the Illyrians. Rozafa Castle, where the lake meets the Buna river, takes in both the city and the wetlands running to the Montenegrin border.
