About Shkodër pedestrian street & Lake Shkodër
Rruga Kolë Idromeno, Shkodër’s pedestrian street, is lined with restored houses and café terraces, and it is home to the Marubi museum of photography. Shkodër is a true cycling town, so do as the locals do: hire a bicycle and pedal out to the shore of Lake Shkodër, the largest lake in Southern Europe, shared with Montenegro. At the village of Shirokë, settle in for a fish lunch by the water. Rozafa Castle and the Mes Bridge are easy rides too, and drivers here are used to sharing the road with bikes.
