🏛️ Must-See Attractions in Tirana
* Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral A striking modern church in the city center.
* Skanderbeg Square The heart of Tirana, surrounded by historical buildings and the statue of national hero Skanderbeg.
* National History Museum Located in Skanderbeg Square, featuring a giant mosaic on its façade and exhibits from Albania’s history.
* Bunk’Art 2 A Cold War-era nuclear bunker turned into a museum about Albania's Communist past. Fascinating and eerie. (There’s another Bunk’Art museum near Mount Dajti — more on that below.)
* Tirana Pyramid Once a museum to dictator Enver Hoxha, now a modern cultural hub and popular photo spot.
* Air Albania Stadium Home to Albania’s national football team. You can grab a drink at the rooftop café with stadium views.
* Selman Stërmasi Stadium Home ground of one of the local teams; a fun stop for football fans.
* Tirana Grand Park A large, relaxing park surrounding an artificial lake — great for a walk, picnic, or bike ride.
🚠 Mount Dajti & Bunk’Art 1 Take a scenic cable car ride to Mount Dajti. Buses to the cable car base leave from near Skanderbeg Square.
* At the top: enjoy great views, dine at the panoramic restaurant, or play mini golf (buy a combo ticket if you want to play).
* Nearby is Bunk’Art 1, another massive underground bunker museum — a must-see if you have the time.
🍽️ Where to Eat in Tirana
* Restorant Tymi One of the best spots from my Balkan tour. Tasty and affordable local dishes — try the meatballs!
* Bar Ufo Known for its trileçe (milk cake). Worth a try, but not outstanding.
Note: Despite the name, Albanian Liver (Arnavut Ciğeri) isn’t from Albania. I asked around but no one was familiar with it — turns out it was made popular in Turkey by Albanian immigrants.
📍Extra Tip If you have time to explore beyond Tirana, consider visiting Vlora (Avlonya) or Ksamil for stunning beaches and coastal scenery.
