Money & Currency

Use ATMs inside banks for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots as they give poor rates and high fees.
Cards are accepted in most mid-range shops, restaurants and hotels; cash is essential for markets, taxis, and small bars — contactless is common but not universal.
Leave 10% at restaurants only if service is good; no expected tip for taxis (round up), and 100–200 Lek for hotel cleaners.

Pedestrian-only Rruga Kolë Idromeno has the best concentration of cheap fast-food stalls and small eateries.
SHIJON and Pika are the main budget supermarket chains in the 4001 area.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
InTown Guesthouse Shkoder (Rruga Kolë Idromeno stop) → Rozafa Castle / Lake Shkoder
💡 Line 1 and 9 go from the main square (1 min walk from InTown) to Rozafa. Buy a ticket at any kiosk with 'Biletë' sign. The bus is old and rarely on time but fine for the 15-min ride. Walk 10 mins uphill from the final stop to the castle.
InTown Guesthouse Shkoder → Anywhere in Shkodër city
💡 Use the local 'Taxi Shkoder' app or dial 067 200 0000 for the most reliable service. Trips within the centre cost €3-5 — there's no meter, so agree the fare first. InTown is on a pedestrian street, so the driver will drop you on Rruga Kolë Idromeno.
Tirana International Airport (TIA) → InTown Guesthouse Shkoder
💡 Agree the price before getting in. Drivers at the airport often quote €70-80; negotiating down to €50-60 is standard. For the return, ask your guesthouse to book a driver — they'll get the local rate.
Tirana International Airport (TIA) main exit → Shkodër bus station (Rruga Teuta, 5 min walk to InTown)
💡 Look for the white minibuses (furgons) with 'Shkodër' sign in the window near the airport exit. They leave when full. No fixed schedule. Take a taxi from the bus station to InTown — it's a short walk but with luggage the cobbles are annoying.

Top Attractions in Shkodër
💡 Visit just before evening prayer (around 16:30-17:00) to hear the call to prayers echo through the square. Dress modestly and remove shoes at the entrance.
💡 Start at the 'Zogaj' bar area for a coffee on the water. The path gets busy on weekend afternoons with locals — go early morning for peace.
💡 The black-and-white portraits of locals in traditional dress are the highlights. Allow 45 minutes — it's compact but worth it.
💡 Ask the guard to point out the 15th-century copy of the 'Codex of Shkodër' — it's the museum's star piece. You'll finish in under an hour.
💡 Go late afternoon for sunset light and fewer crowds. Combine it with a walk down the hill to the old Lead Mosque nearby.
