TIRANA, September 1 – Shkodër, known as the “city of bicycles”, is turning its long-standing cycling tradition into an important part of its tourism offer.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared footage of tourists cycling in Shkodër. He described bicycles as an “ideal companion” for exploring the city and its cultural and historical attractions.

In Shkodër, cycling forms part of the local way of life and identity. The tradition, combined with the city’s suitable terrain, also supports the development of cycling tourism.

Visitors can explore a wide range of attractions by bicycle. These include Rozafa Castle, the History Museum of Shkodër, the Marubi National Museum of Photography, Lake Shkodër, and the areas of Shiroka and Zogaj. The mountain areas also offer opportunities for visitors, including Theth, one of the highlights of the Albanian Alps.
