If you have the possibility to do a free city tour starting here, just do it. You would have a first view of how is the city and its history, and then you could enter some museum or just enjoy an amazing meal.

The large square has a great pavement and is surrounded by park like areas with common flowers. You can let your thoughts wander here about the past of Albania, at the foot of the statue of the medieval hero Skanderbeg: the terrible oppression and the search for a new national identity. In the evening it offers a strange sensation because you can hardly see that you are in the middle of a busy city. When you look around you see the mosque, the Ottoman bell tower, the communist architecture and the postmodernist building by architect Winy Maas. A unique combination!

Incredible! Stones that cover the square are from all around Albania. The water covers the stones during the heat of the day to keep things cool. Would recommend to all visitors to Tirana.

Main attraction of Tirana. The heart of Tirana encircled by the museum, the opera hall, the bank of Albania, near to lots of other attractions. A very good place to spend a relaxing afternoon/evening on a sunny/warm day.

An amazing beautiful town square, especially after it’s been reconstructed from the original. It maintains its uniquely Albanian heritage while making you feel like your in the heart of Europe. Be sure to check out the museum for artifacts that are equal to almost anything else you’d find in southern Europe, other than the major ones of course!
