I feel compelled to tell my story. I don't think the people here are quite welcoming yet of tourists. On the first day, I experienced two racist things (one verbal, one verbal AND physical... dirt and egg thrown at me). I understand that these two instances do not make up the entire people, but considering these all happened within less than 12 hours, I felt unsafe in the city. The next day, I decided to go bike to the lake and the castle. Now THAT was gorgeous... and the food was amazing. I decided to cut my original 4 days to 2, since I was too anxious to stay. It's hard to reconcile the goods and the bads since this is the first time in my adult life I've experienced *physical* racism. I have heard some other POC experiences (and also had one bad anti-tourist experience in Tirana) so... traveller beware.

Shkoder is a very small city. People there are not used to many tourists (yet), especially in April. So we encountered some weird look, especially as a queer couple. Life is very cheap. The city center is not worth exploring more than 1 day in my opinion but the surroundings are nice (Shkoder's lake, Mesi Bridge, the castle for sunset).
