Shëngjin is one of Albania's best-kept secrets — a charming coastal town with crystal-clear waters, rich history, and warm hospitality. Here are five must-do experiences during your stay at Twin Towers Hotel.
1. Relax on Shëngjin Beach
Just steps from the hotel, Shëngjin Beach offers golden sand and calm Adriatic waters. Our private beach area provides sun loungers and umbrellas, so you can enjoy a perfect beach day without leaving the comfort of our service.
2. Visit Rozafa Castle in Shkodra
A 45-minute drive north takes you to one of Albania's most iconic landmarks. Rozafa Castle sits on a rocky hilltop overlooking Lake Shkodra, with panoramic views that stretch to Montenegro. The castle museum houses artefacts spanning centuries of history.
3. Explore the Lezhë Skanderbeg Memorial
Just 11 minutes from the hotel, the hilltop castle of Lezhë offers stunning Adriatic views and houses the memorial museum of Skanderbeg — Albania's national hero who united the Albanian princes against the Ottoman Empire in 1444.
4. Day Trip to Kruja & the Old Bazaar
About an hour south, the mountain town of Kruja is a symbol of Albanian resistance. Explore the 15th-century castle, visit the Skanderbeg National Museum, and browse the 400-year-old bazaar with over 150 artisan shops selling traditional crafts, textiles, and souvenirs.
5. Seafood Dining on the Riviera
The Albanian Riviera is renowned for its fresh seafood. Our own restaurant serves locally caught fish and traditional Albanian dishes, but we also recommend exploring nearby spots like Goga Fish Restaurant (350m) and Ermiri Palace (250m) for a taste of the local culinary scene.
Getting around: We offer airport shuttle services and our front desk team can arrange car hire, guided tours, and transfers to all nearby attractions. Just ask at reception!
