St. Mary Monastery

A short steep walk above the old Dhërmi village brings you to this peaceful monastery. The views over the Ionian Sea are the best in the area — combine with exploring the stone streets of old Dhërmi.

Marubi National Museum of Photography

Three generations of the Marubi studio photographed northern Albania from 1856 onward, and the archive runs to half a million negatives — highland clans, Ottoman officials, weddings, executions. It is the best hour indoors in Shkodër and the only place that makes the region's last century legible. Check the hours before going; published times disagree with each other.
