YOUR DAY IN TIRANA
RUN TIRANA
A flat loop around Tirana's artificial lake in Grand Park. Shaded paths, outdoor gyms, and cafés. The city's go-to running spot.
From the centre through the Blloku district, past the Pyramid, along the Lana River to Grand Park. Mix of urban running and parkland.
Head east from the city towards Mount Dajti. Follow the foothill trails for views over the whole Tirana plain. Proper trail running at altitude.
MUST-DOS IN TIRANA
Traditional Albanian food in a beautiful old house. Byrek and tavë kosi.
Cold War bunker turned museum. Fascinating and sobering.
Once banned to civilians, now Tirana's trendiest area.
Rooftop bar in Blloku. Cocktails for €3.
