Audio Guide of the House of Dibra

Opening hours vary by season, but it generally opens from 9:00 to 17:00 in summer and until 15:00 in winter. We recommend checking updated information on the official Albanian heritage website or calling the Peshkopi town hall (+355 68 123 4567).

Admission is usually free or based on a voluntary donation. There is currently no electronic ticketing system available, but they do accept cash donations for maintenance (euros or Albanian lek).

We recommend between 30 and 60 minutes to explore the house museum at a relaxed pace. The exact time depends on your interest in traditional architecture and how much attention you give to photography.

It is one of the last intact examples of Ottoman architecture in the region (19th century), built with traditional techniques using local stone and oak wood. It represents the way of life of Albanian noble families during the Ottoman period.

Spring (May-June) or autumn (September-October) for mild temperatures and fewer visitors. Avoid midday in summer, as the interior can become hot without air conditioning.

It has limited accessibility due to high steps at the entrance and uneven interior levels. Contact +355 68 123 4567 in advance for occasional assistance. Braille explanations are available.

Nearby highlights include Korab-Koritnik National Park (15 km away), the natural thermal springs of Peshkopi (3 km), and the local Ethnographic Museum. More info at Albania Tourism.
