You will not miss it when in Gjirokaster. Be aware when coming by public transport from other cities that the furgons will leave you at the modern part of the city so you need to take a bus to the old Town (or you can walk uphill), it takes maximum 10 minutes by bus but plan accordingly in case you are in a tight schedule since there are no timetables in Albania. It is a lovely place but there are cars going through the streets all the time so you cannot walk in peace. The shops take over the sidewalks, you walk on the road and the cars come, a bit annoying but ok, there is not much which we can change about it since the old Town existed prior to the cars! Remember to take good shoes with you since the streets are of cobble stones, a bit slippery.

This is a good city to spend a couple of days away from the tensions of the city.
