Frequently Asked Questions

With its vibrant culinary scene, Shkodër offers a feast for every taste. Visitors and locals alike enjoy the city’s fresh seafood, especially fish from nearby Lake Shkodër, as well as hearty Albanian specialties like savory stews and freshly baked bread. The city is also famous for its artisan cheeses, farm-fresh produce, and charming bakeries serving traditional sweets and pastries.

Are tourists welcome in Shkodër?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Shkodër tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Shkodër.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Shkodër experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
