Lezhe is about 8 km far from the excellent beach of Shengjin (Saint-Gean), and about 30 km south of Shkodra, and 50 km north of Tirana.
With the newer construction of the highway that goes aside this city, it is nicely connected with major cities.
The memorial of Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu (George Kastrioti), an Albanian national hero, is located in Lezhe. It is a beautiful memorial of a person that fought during 15th century against Turkish invaders.
