Kruje is a city in Albania just north of Tirana.

[edit] Get in

There are many buses to Kruje from Tirana. They depart next to a market behind the train station (best to ask directions from the train station). The trip lasts about one hour.

[edit] Get around

Kruje is small enough to get around on foot very easily. It is built on a mountainside, with the one-street bazaar the central attraction, and the renovated castle just above and to the south.

[edit][add listing] See

The many souvenir, antique shops and carpet workshops in the bazaar, the castle with the national museum inside, the ethnographic museum next to the castle (an old ottoman house full of furniture and artifacts).

Some beautiful carpets, hand-made felt items such as slippers, antiques including traditional costumes of all sorts, and lots of more or less kitsch "Albania" red paraphernalia with the eagle on it.
