Overview
Bajram Curri is the largest town in Tropoja District and serves as a crucial transit hub for travelers heading to the Albanian Alps. The town itself is small with about 4,100 inhabitants in 2023, but its real appeal lies in its proximity to the spectacular Valbona Valley and the breathtaking Lake Koman ferry crossing.
