Dominated by the southern shore of Lake Shkoder, the largest lake in the Balkans, Shkoder County is home to around 154,500 people in Albania's northwest. The city of Shkoder predates the Roman period and has functioned as a regional centre for over two millennia. Rozafa Castle, perched on a rocky hill at the confluence of the Buna and Drin rivers, overlooks the modern city. The county has historically been a stronghold of Catholic traditions in a predominantly Muslim country, and the Shkoder cathedral remains the largest Catholic church in Albania.
The economy leans on agriculture, small-scale manufacturing, and cross-border trade with Montenegro via the Hani i Hotit border crossing. Lake Shkoder supports a fishing industry and has become part of a transboundary protected area shared with Montenegro. Cycling tourism along the lake shore has grown in recent years.

Fully illegal and criminalized.
This reflects national law. Local/municipal rules or enforcement can differ; always follow local regulations.
Shkoder County falls under Albanian national law. The exercise of prostitution constitutes a criminal contravention under Article 113 of the Kodi Penal; the sanction is a fine or up to three years' imprisonment. Purchasing sexual services from a consenting adult is not separately criminalised, as Albania does not follow the Nordic model. Criminal liability for third parties is set out in Article 114 (soliciting, mediating, profiting from prostitution, up to five years) and Article 115 (providing premises, up to ten years). Following the 2013 reforms, trafficking is addressed by Article 110/a for adults and Article 128/b for minors, with Article 110/b covering the knowing use of a trafficked person's services. The Policia e Shtetit handles enforcement throughout the county. There is no licensing or registration system.
