Discover Tirana: A Stroll Through History & Culture
Overview
We begin at Skanderbeg Square, the symbolic heart of Tirana, where you'll learn about Albania's past, its heroes, and the city's transformation in recent decades. Walking along wide pedestrian boulevards and colorful facades, we’ll discover key landmarks including the Opera House, Et’hem Bey Mosque, and the Clock Tower, with stories that bring them to life.
Next, we’ll pass through Tirana Castle, now a charming courtyard filled with shops and cafés, where ancient walls meet modern design. From there, we stroll along the Lana River, explore local life around the "Parku Rinia", and head toward the elegant Polytechnic University buildings and the Mother Teresa Square. This tour is a blend of culture, architecture, daily life, and hidden corners, ideal for travelers who love to walk, observe, and connect with the city's soul.
