Rozafa Castle, an ancient fortress perched on a rocky hill overlooking Shkodër, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Lake Shkodër, and the surrounding rivers. Accessibility involves an uphill walk on uneven paths, making comfortable footwear essential, and it might be challenging for those with significant mobility issues. Visitors can explore independently, though a guided tour is recommended for a deeper understanding of its rich history and the famous Rozafa legend. The castle is generally open year-round, with spring and autumn being ideal for comfortable exploration away from summer heat or winter chill. A typical visit lasts 1.5 to 3 hours, with an approximate entrance fee of a few Euros. Bring water and sun protection, as shade is limited, and allow time to soak in the historical atmosphere and scenic vistas.
