I'm coming to Tirana in December for a whole week, but I have one weekend completely free. I do not want to travel far, but would like to see something interesting, not just the city. I like countrysides, landscapes, parks,... Maybe some village? Anything worth seeing.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
Trina
Hi, I recommend staying overnight in Berat if you have a weekend free. It's around 2.5 hours away from Tirana on a public bus. Berat is laid back and oozes with Ottoman-era charm in an alpine environment.
Sounds wonderful - please write it up if you go, Trina ("Trina does Tirana" would make a great page title!), as I would be fascinated to see this part of the world!
I wonder whether they will ever erect a statue to the British comedian Norman Wisdom there? He was the only Western performer who got media coverage during the Hoxha era, and his popularity continued undimmed (to the point where the press habitually referred to him as the 'Clown Prince of Albania'). Apparently his recent death was reported on all Albanian TV and radio stations and was the cause of national mourning ...
Hello,
Around Tirana you can visit:
1, Kruja, the citadel and the bazar wich is the only one of this kind in Albania.
You can find tradional things and some kitch chinese things.
Kruja is One hour and an half from Tirana.
2, The castle of Petrela, about 45 minutes from Tirana. The castle has been changed on a restaurant. So you can have an little view of Tirana and the suburbs.
Tirana seems be drowning in low quality international beer labels like Carlsberg and Heineken at the moment, but there is hope.The local Tirana beer is quite a bit better so be sure to ask for that if you want to have a beer while hanging out in Tirana.
That way you also support a local business and a local employer while you are actually tasting a beer that is quite good.
The three photos given here show residential buildings. They are not fun but look almost OK. I do not know how they look to day but what I have seen in Shkodra in 2005 was that though there were brand new buildings built, the older one, dating from the communist era, were still there, most of the time in poor condition; I am afraid it would be about the same in Tirana.
This small post-office was just behind Hotel Tirana. I wanted to phone to my daughter and I was convinced that I would not get the call. The phone operator connected me first to a distant phone operator who asked me why I wanted to call my daughter, what I had to tell her, etc… And finally, I was tuned and could talk for a while with my daughter. That was really unexpected!
be sure to bring your trainers with you. There is a great lake in Tirana and a beautiful park around it, where you can do jogging in the mornings or afternoons. Of course there are many good gyms as well, most of them located in the center.
Sheshi Avni Rustemi is the tiny and beautiful square where its located the market place, i walked from Sheshi Skenderbeg square by a wide avenue full of shops where you can find a lot of local souvenirs ...once you arrive to the market square its absolutelly nice stop for a while and behold how life pass by and locals do.. this aint the typical market like western europe lol its more improvised !! jajaja
