Tourists keep showing strong interest in Krujë’s museums. Both locals and foreigners visit regularly. Mehdi Hafizi, director of the National Museum “Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu” and the Krujë Ethnographic Museum, said the museums welcomed over 200,000 visitors this year.

Of these, 170,000 visited the Skanderbeg Museum and over 30,000 explored the Ethnographic Museum. Visitors showed great interest in Albania’s history and culture. Hafizi noted that even outside summer, visitor numbers remain high. In September, October, and November alone, over 60,000 people toured the two museums.

The museums expect strong attendance during the upcoming November holidays. Foreign visitors mainly come from Poland, France, the USA, and Spain, while many also arrive from China, Germany, Israel, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Italy.

The Skanderbeg Museum opened in 1982 inside the ruins of Krujë’s medieval castle. It resembles a fortress and focuses on Skanderbeg’s life and achievements, Albania’s national hero.

The Krujë Ethnographic Museum features 15 rooms, each highlighting social, ethnographic, and cultural traditions. Many visitors consider it a key stop when touring Krujë’s historic city.
