    Luggage, backpacks, gym bags, and more! Bounce is like having a personal storage facility for your stuff anywhere you go, so you can leave much more than just luggage with us. Whether you want to store your luggage after checking out of your Airbnb or want to drop off your work bag before hitting happy hour, we've got you covered.

    We don't charge extra for oversized items, but some special items might need to be approved before you can store them. For example, surfboards, guitars, car seats, bicycles, or skis take up a lot of space, so let us know if you have them. We can check with the Bounce Partner for you to make sure they have room for your stuff.
  • Is there hourly luggage storage in Shkodër?

    Yes, but many companies charge per hour and costs can add up fast. We charge one price for 24 hours of storage, so storing your stuff is more affordable in Shkodër.

Store your luggage around Shkodër with Bounce 

Shkodër is one of the largest cities in Albania, and it’s tucked away in the corner of the country near the border with Montenegro. It’s a historic city based around Lake Shkodër and features a picturesque Old Town with a stunning backdrop of the surrounding Albanian Alps. 

Historically, Albania was right in the middle of one of the true cultural crossroads. Between the Ottoman Empire and other European powers, Albania has traded places between East and West for centuries, which makes it one of the most distinctive places in Europe to visit. Everything from the food to the religious landscape reflects this. The architecture, particularly the prevalence of ornate mosques, is one of the most unique you’ll find. This is certainly the case in Shkodër.

It’s a fascinating city to explore, to say the least. Here is everything you need to know for a trip to Shkodër: 

Luggage storage in Shkodër

Luggage storage services are the best way to keep the bags in a secure setting for a few hours while you explore. Second-rate left luggage services can be useful, but they generally lack consistency and reliability, which isn’t ideal when you’re visiting a new city like Shkodër. A nice hotel like The Garden Hotel may offer storage, but like lockers at train stations, that's not always an ideal way to store your bags.

Bounce is the best luggage storage Shkodër has to offer, with convenient locations near the best attractions, the train station, and local hotels. There’s an intuitive mobile app, so you can book luggage storage on the go at an affordable price. There’s also a 24/7 customer support team with a dedicated and ultra-friendly staff. If you’re worried about your belongings, the BounceShield guarantee and the extensive vetting process Bounce has for reviewing storage facilities ensure quality and security. Bounce lets you get back to what’s important: enjoying your trip.

Shkodër city guide 

Top things to do in Shkodër

History buffs will have a lot to unpack inside the city and in the surrounding areas. The first port of call should be the epic Rozafa Castle outside the city center. There are also a number of solid museums in the city exploring everything from photography to Albanian history.  

Outdoor enthusiasts have a staggering number of options for getting the blood pumping. There are hiking trails all through the Albanian Alps, particularly Maranai National Park, where the cool breeze meets the warm Balkan weather. There is also swimming and kayaking on Lake Shkodër and the Buna River. 

Most international travelers won’t be familiar with Albanian cuisine, but it’s absolutely delicious. Shkodër is only a few miles from the ocean, so expect fresh seafood served alongside traditional Balkan dishes that showcase the zesty flavors from Albania’s Ottoman influences. The city center, especially Old Town, is packed with hole-in-the-wall cafés and bakeries with plenty of upscale restaurants as well. 

The Ottoman influences are strong in Shkodër, with diverse architecture throughout the town, including many mosques and bazaars to shop through. Shkodër is a relatively modern city with modern amenities, so there are plenty of high streets lined with boutiques.

Put simply, there is a lot to do in Shkodër. Here are a few ideas for where to start:

Museums in Shkodër

Marubi National Museum of Photography

For art and photography enthusiasts, this museum is a pilgrimage when traveling through Albania. It’s equally appealing to history buffs, as the vast collection of photographs, some dating back to the 19th century, provides incredible context for Albanian history. Aside from old prints, you’ll find antique cameras and other equipment, and there’s even an old dark room you can tour to learn how arduous it used to be to take photographs. The museum is located in a stately building in Shkodër’s historic city center, so it makes for an easy stop when you’re walking around town. 

Rozafa Castle

It’s situated right outside the city center, but this 14th-century fortress tops the list of sightseeing destinations in this part of Albania. The castle stands on the shores of Shjrodër Lake, where the Buna and Drin rivers meet. It towers over these waters, making it an imposing spectacle to see from below and even better to experience from the top. You’ll have panoramic views of the water and surrounding countryside, and you can even see as far as Montenegro. The castle’s history is fascinating, as it was an outpost of the Venetian city-state in ancient times. It was pivotal during Albania’s defense against the Ottomans and the seat of the administrator during their occupation of the Balkans. 

Xhamia e Plumbit (Lead Mosque)

Albania’s cultural, linguistic, and religious heritages are some of the most fascinating in Europe. Because of its volatile history, where Albania played host to a number of competing political influences and countless invasions, the country has a vibrant Muslim community and heritage. In every Albanian city, you’ll find ornate mosques that function as some of the most beloved historical landmarks. The Lead Mosque in Shkodër’s historic city center features stunning Ottoman architecture with a gorgeous facade and an elegant interior.  

Lugging your bags around a museum will only lessen your enjoyment, so it’s better to store luggage while you unpack Shkodër’s fascinating history. Bounce strategically places its luggage storage locations near museums and landmarks, so you won’t have to go far to drop the bags off. When station lockers aren't convenient and the museums don't offer storage, we have you covered.

Shopping in Shkodër

Old Bazaar (Pazari i Vjetër)

Owing to its Ottoman influences, one of Shkodër’s best attractions is this traditional bazaar in the city center. You’ll find everything from handcrafted ceramics to handwoven textiles and even Persian rugs. Even with the scrappy and authentic setting, you’ll find the artisanal goods on offer will be high quality. The experience alone is worth visiting.

Rruga Kolë Idromeno

One of the primary tourist and retail districts, this cobblestoned street snakes through Shkodër and is lined with boutiques, gift shops, cafés, and everything else you’d expect to find. Restaurants and cafés tend to have patios, so it's a great place to grab lunch or a coffee and people watch. It’s also pedestrianized, so you won’t have to worry about cars.

Sheshi Demokracia Market

Another market in the city center, Sheshi Demokracia, is lined with stalls selling street food, handicrafts, artisanal products, and everything in between. It’s a great place to buy an inexpensive keepsake or souvenir. You can even try your hand at haggling.

Your bags will only get in the way of your shopping spree, and certain retailers won’t even allow larger items inside their stores, so it’s best to leave the gear at the hotel or find a secure place to store it while you shop. Luckily, Bounce’s secure luggage storage facilities in the city center are located near the best shopping destinations in Shkodër. 

Restaurants in Shkodër

Agroturizem Faqedol

Similar to countries like Italy, agrotourism is huge in Albania. Farmers and producers will open their homes (and barns) to traveling foodies and other locals to experience the food they produce. Guests can do a walking tour of the farm and learn about their land and process before being treated to epic feasts showcasing the bounty of the land. Faqedol is situated just outside of Shkodër and could be the perfect pitstop on your way back into town from Rozafa Castle. The estate is gorgeous, with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside from their patio. Their set menu rotates based on seasonal ingredients, but everything is farm-fresh and expertly prepared. 

Te Mullini 

It can’t all be fine-dining restaurants and Michelin-starred bistros. Sometimes, you just need a dependable breakfast at a bakery or café. Albanian pastries are one of the country’s most appealing culinary offerings, especially their savory byrek, which can be filled with meats, vegetables, and cheeses.  Te Mullini is one of the best and most popular places to grab byrek in Shkodër. You won’t be short of options, with a full menu of vegetarian and meat-filled byrek on offer at a very affordable average price. One thing you will be short of is time. This place is swamped on weekends, so get there early before they run out! 

Arti Zanave

During the summer months, when Shjrodër becomes a travel hotspot, one of the city’s most beloved restaurants opens its doors to serve travelers a feast of traditional Albanian cuisine. Arti Zanave is a small bistro tucked away in a small alleyway off the pedestrianized Gjuhadol Street. It’s nothing less than a gem, with grandma-approved traditional comfort food like tava e kosit, qofte, and speca të mbushura. It gets quite busy during the high season, and the place is tiny. But the wait is absolutely worth it.

If you’re heading out for dinner or an epic weekend night on the town, you’ll want to find luggage storage and store bags somewhere secure. Bringing them to a fancy restaurant or nightclub simply won’t do. That’s why Bounce has storage spots near nightlife and dining hotspots.

Conclusion 

Shkodër is one of the true gems of the Balkans, but there are plenty of other amazing travel destinations in Albania. Bounce has made useful travel guides for cities like Tirana, Sarande, and Podgorica in Montenegro, all of which are just a drive or train ride away from Shkodër. Even better, you can expect stellar luggage storage service in each of these cities, so you can focus on exploring and not what to do with the bags.
