TIRANA, Sept. 1 /ATA/ – Shkodra, known as northern Albania’s “city of bicycles,” is turning its long-standing cycling tradition into an increasingly important part of the city’s tourism offering.
Prime Minister Edi Rama on Tuesday shared images of tourists exploring Shkodra by bicycle, describing cycling as the “ideal companion” for discovering the city and its cultural and historical attractions.
In Shkodra, bicycles are more than a means of transport; they are part of the city’s way of life and an integral part of the identity of its residents.
A long-established cycling culture, combined with terrain well suited to two-wheel travel, is helping position Shkodra as a destination for cycling tourism.
The city offers visitors a wide range of attractions, including Rozafa Castle, the Shkodra Historical Museum, the Marubi National Museum of Photography and Lake Shkodra, as well as the lakeside areas of Shiroka and Zogaj.
Beyond the city, visitors can explore mountain destinations such as Theth, one of the jewels of the Albanian Alps.
