Good to know

Choose sturdy, comfortable footwear, as the paths around Krujë Castle and the Old Bazaar are lined with uneven cobblestones that can be slippery in places.
Bring a refillable water bottle, particularly if you’re visiting between June and September, when daytime temperatures tend to be warmer.
Carry a light jacket or sweater if traveling between October and March, since Krujë’s hillside location often feels cooler than nearby coastal areas like Durrës.
Pack sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, as shade is limited in many parts of the castle complex.
Keep some Albanian lek with you for small purchases, snacks, or locally made souvenirs sold at the Old Bazaar stalls.
Avoid carrying large luggage or oversized bags, as the narrow bazaar streets and uneven walkways make them inconvenient to manage.
