Kruja is 45 minutes from Tirana and most of it is walkable. Start at the cobbled Ottoman bazaar, climb to the castle where Skanderbeg held off the Ottoman sieges and visit the two museums inside the walls: the national Skanderbeg museum and the ethnographic one, in a traditional house. If your legs allow, carry on with a half-hour climb to the Sari Salltik shrine for the best view over the plain.
