Cool place. I don’t usually pay for castles but this seemed worth it. Worth doing on a sunny day for some good views. Go as soon as it opens to enjoy it with fewer people. Beautiful arches and useful signs. Free toilets inside. American plane inside. And British cannons. And more. 400 lekë to enter.

I would recommend to come early in the morning and by foot. Otherwise difficult to find a parking spot. The entrance fee is € 4, and from the castle you can enjoy gorgeous panoramic views.

The castle is large, and the entrance fee is only 4 euros—definitely worth a visit! It takes about an hour to explore. You can climb to the top for panoramic views of the town, and even go underground to explore the dark dungeons, which is very exciting. The layout is well-designed, so take your time to explore every corner and discover hidden surprises!

Nice authentic place to visit. Easy to find parking on the way down from castle which leads to souvenirs selling streets. Or parking exactly at the palace doors. Parked cars change fast. Visiting castle took not more than hour. Nice view from the top. Interesting army stuff exhibition. Free WC inside castle. 7 min. walking distance to touristic area with traditional tourist stuff, restaurants - best place to buy ceramic, carpets.

A beautifully maintained and enormous Byzantine 12th century fortress, which also contains a great little museum. I was deeply impressed by the sheer size of the fortress, which is even more impressive on the inside. The site is filled with impressive arches and high ceilings. Another wonderful aspect is that the vast majority of the fortress rooms and areas are fully accessible to the public. We wandered around for about two hours to cover the full building. There's also a decent sized museum on the upper floors. One half covers the history of the valley, and the other half is filled with hundreds of firearms from various periods. It was absolutely worth the small additional entry fee. The fortress also affords many amazing vantage points and views of the beautiful surrounding town. We paid €4 each for the fortress and €2 each for the museum. This was one of the many highlights of my visit to Albania.
