Best places: Things to dos in Tirana, Albania

👍👍 I can't believe how AWESOME this experience was! 👏🏼🥰👏🏼 Luli and his whole team are professional and kind. We went for my son's 16th birthday and it was a wonderful adventure! He recommends coming back at sunset and showed us the pictures, I can't wait to go back!

👍 This restaurant is truly great with its delicious offerings, yet my all-time favorite is still the one a few minutes away, even though the same owner manages three restaurants. Still, I recommend it for the beautiful place and space it offers, creating a delightful dining atmosphere.

👍👍 If you are close - must do. If not - take your time to get there. It's only 1 hour away from Durres. Professional service and very nice people, who care about a satisfied customer. New equipment. Very comfortable harness = comfortable ride. The place is definitely worth visiting. 15 Euro per person...

Former Cold War bunker, now an underground contemporary art & history museum over several floors.

Spacious public park with a botanical garden, zoo, the Presidential Palace, a church & a lake.

Guided tours are offered at this 18th-century mosque with colorful frescoes in the city center.

👍👍 The Park includes an artificial lake and many other landmarks such as the Saint Procopius Church, the Presidential Palace, and memorials to several Albanian personalities. It remains one of the most relaxing places in the city, despite increasing buildings being developed near the park, an early-mor...

Huge Orthodox cathedral, completed in 2012, featuring a 46-m. bell tower & showy nighttime lighting.

Medieval castle of which only an Ottoman-era wall remains, now housing handicraft stores & eateries.

😠 We were overall very disappointed with our guide Piro. A lot of things didn't go according to plan, in the end we didn't visit 3(!) of the places that were advertised. He was unprofessional, he ran late and as soon as we would arrive somewhere he would disappear, zero guiding was done. Our accommoda...

👍👍 It is a nice pedestrian street full of bars, restaurants and shops. The name is Tirana castle but is not a real castle. It had been open recently in an area owned by Toptani family renovated but trying to keep a vintage style. It is not really authentic but still something close to the albanian styl...

Unique Albanian history museum inside a preserved, Communist-era nuclear pit bunker.

Small park in the heart of Tirana featuring a large fountain & a pavilion with restaurants.

Hilltop 15th-century castle offering views, a 6th-century tower & a restaurant with local cuisine.

👍👍 Is one of the tourist location close to Tirana that attracts a great number of visitors. The Castle, the prominent wooden structure is a restaurant, is perched on a rocky hill, above the village with the same name. It has a triangular shape with two observation towers. Although it was first built i...

😐 Palace of Culture build in early fifties with Russian architecture shelter all the cultural event in Albania especially operistic event but also posses a very beatiful backyard where everyone can relax and respire clean air and there is a place that family can bring their kids to play in the park.

👍👍 It is not possible to take photos inside. However, the palace is stupendous and the visit - on the monetary history of Albania - is very worth it, considering that it is also free. The guide was very good and very nice.
