Durrës, the second-largest city in Albania, is the country’s most ancient city and has been an important trading hub ever since the first ships docked here in the 7th century BC.
Though little of its rich history remains on display today, although the Archaeological Museums houses a superb collection of Illyrian, Greek and Roman artefacts, Durrës is still nevertheless a lively place and a hotspot for Albanians looking for some fun and relaxation on its golden beaches and vibrant promenade area.
