Cool castle to visit in town with epic views of the city. Spent many hours here wandering around. A bit more information in some areas would have been helpful but overall a great half day adventure.

Enjoyed the walk up to the castle and the entrance fee was 400ALL each, that however was only for the castle as there was another fee for the museum of Arms, which was 200ALL. We found this frustrating as we asked before paying what ticket we needed . They could just charge 600ALL as you cannot get into the museum without entering the castle. The castle was very good lots of renovation work being carried out, it will be amazing once finished. Some information boards with English which was good. The views were fantastic .

A huge castle to explore, full of cold war cannons, tanks and an abandoned US fighter jet. Well worth the steep approach! Allow about an hour to take in the views and read about the history while visiting the worthwhile museum. Definitely the highlight of this brilliant little town!

The city is offering a specific architecture with stones roofs which made the visit pleasant. The Castle is offering information on the local history and on the castle itself. The architecture of the castle is unusual with very large volumes which are impressive. I recommend the visit of the city and the castle.

Best view over Gjirokastra and the surrounding mountains. Lots of boards explaining the history of the castle and it's parts. Well worth a visit, admission was 400 ALL - the only thing that puzzled me was that the student fee is only for albanian students. That doesn't make sense really.
