In between the Adriatic Sea and the Northern Alps, Shkodër is the largest city in northwestern Albania and one of the country’s oldest.

While many choose to head to the capital city Tirana, the pace of life in Shkodër is a lot more laid back. Most people cycle rather than drive a car as Shkodër has a long history of two-wheeled transport.

You’re also more likely to be able to afford to rent a property with a bit more space as a fully furnished apartment with a good view could cost you as little as €200 for a one-bedroom apartment outside of the city centre.

Shkodër has a wealth of beautiful natural sites and is known as the gateway to the Albanian Alps. The country has 14 national parks and 450km of coastline so you’ll never be far from both the sea and the mountains.

And, if you want to visit more than one country on your digital nomad adventure, Shkodër is just a 30-minute drive away from the border with Montenegro.
