Peshkopi is the administrative capital of Dibër district, a highland city on the Black Drin river in northeastern Albania close to the North Macedonian border. The region around Peshkopi — the Dibër highlands — is known for its strong traditional culture: the distinctive Highland men's costumes, the embroidered women's dress, and the iso-polyphonic music of Dibër are recognised as some of the most distinctive in Albania. The city has a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere unusual in Albanian urban life, with a bazaar where craftsmen still work copper and silver in traditional ways.
The surrounding landscape is spectacular: the Drin canyon to the north, the Korab mountain range on the Macedonian border (containing Albania's highest peak at 2,764 metres), and the Lurë National Park to the northwest with its series of glacial lakes. Peshkopi's mineral spring water, bottled locally, is distributed nationally and considered among the finest in Albania. The drive from Tirana to Peshkopi along the Black Drin valley is one of the more dramatic road journeys in the country, threading through gorges and over ridges with views of a genuinely wild Albanian interior that few tourists ever see.
