Bovilla Lake and Kruja Castle Tour Blends Nature, History, and Albanian Heritage


Travelers can experience a well-balanced day tour that combines Albania’s natural landscapes with its deep historical roots. The journey begins at Bovilla Lake, a peaceful destination known for its turquoise waters surrounded by steep cliffs and green hills, offering a refreshing escape from urban life.


At Bovilla Lake, visitors are invited to take in the quiet atmosphere, enjoy panoramic viewpoints, and capture scenic photographs of one of the region’s most visually striking locations. The area is especially popular among nature lovers seeking calm surroundings and unspoiled mountain scenery.

We did not go inside but just walking around this area is beautiful. You can see the Adriatic Sea, the fields, Tirana City, etc. If weather permits, it would be nice to have a picnic up there.

Loved it. Approximately 1 hour drive from Tirana. There are few private lands available for parking. Parking costs 300L for the whole day. Castle is awesome. Museum costs around 400L for an adult. Not that great but would recommend if you want to learn about history of Albania and the balcony view is excellent. There are couple of restaurants with the view. Coffee, beer and salads are good. Adjacent to the castle is the Old Bazaar. Colourful and vibrant with large pebble roads. Common things are sensibly priced. There is a high street at the end of Old Bazaar with few eat ins and they got excellent view. We enjoyed our dinner with the sunset - lifetime experience

Nice, free castle above the Bazaar. Not a lot remains, and the tower is stabilized following earthquake damage (2019?). There is a nice museum inside covering Albania's national hero, Scanderbeg.
