Guidebook to Indrit's amazing hometown
Food scene
You should try Manifatura simply because it has the best pizza in town, as well as the best cocktails which you can enjoy indoor or in the cute inner garden. Most importantly, the building itself is an ode to the cities history and important artists.
The name was given in honor of a fabrics shop that used to be since 1927. The interior is dedicated to the city's history and most important artists.

This is my favorite place to have fresh fruit juices. When you visit G'juhadol you can have a break during a hot summer day and detox.

Sightseeing
If you haven’t seen this when you entered the city than you need to go back. The castle is more than 2000 years old. Due to its strategic location, the hill has been settled since antiquity. It was an Illyrian stronghold during the rule of the Labeates and Ardiaei, whose capital was Scodra. During the Third Illyrian War the Illyrian king Gentius concentrated his forces in Scodra until it was attacked and conquered by the Roman army led by L. Anicius Gallus.
But there is so much more to the history, and that is why you need to go there. Besides it, there is a pretty "cool" legend behind the name. If you are not a history nerd, at least go check out the views. You will not get disappointed! I bet you a full reimbursement of your stay :)

I am not insisting on you going here, but I believe it is a pretty place. The lake opens up here and you can understand why Shkodra lake is the largest lake in the Balkans.
This is where I spent my summers swimming in the lake while I got burnt from the sun. If you want to take a quick swim, it is the right place. And you can eat fresh lake fish for a very reasonable price.
My favorite part: Sunsets are mesmerizing during summer.

Just by the name, you can understand it is a national treasure. It has the largest archive of old Albanian photographs, and it is named after the first photographer who resided in Shkodra. The ground floor is a temporary exhibition so it never gets annoying for me to visit it. Make sure not to miss it!

My childhood home was 3 min away from here. As kids, we would sneak in just to get plums from the trees. Today, I like to go there from time to time just to look at the exhibitions and imagine how life was back then. The Museum has three main sections: the ethnographic fund, the archaeological fund, the visual arts fund, and the library. The library serves as a place for the scientific researchers and the museum staff.

Neighborhoods
You cannot miss this neighborhood, as it is an extension of the pedestrian street on where our hotel is. It is the only preserved area that survived the communist regime's agression on cultural heritage buildings.
