Explore Tirana in 1 Day Itinerary
Last updated: 2024 Oct 23A Day of Culture and Adventure in Tirana
Morning
Start your day at the iconic Skanderbeg Monument, located in the heart of Skanderbeg Square (Sheshi Skënderbej). This monument is a tribute to Albania's national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, and is surrounded by beautiful architecture, including the National History Museum. Spend about 30 minutes here taking photos and soaking in the atmosphere. Next, head over to the Et'hem Bey Mosque (Xhamia e Et'hem Beut), just a short 5-minute walk away. This mosque is known for its stunning frescoes and intricate design, offering a glimpse into Albania's rich Islamic heritage. Allocate around 45 minutes for your visit here before moving on to your next destination.
Afternoon
For lunch, stop by Mama's Kitchen for some delicious traditional Albanian dishes. After refueling, make your way to the Tirana National Historical Museum (Muzeu Historik Kombëtar) which is about a 10-minute walk from Mama's Kitchen. This museum showcases Albania's history from prehistoric times to modern day through various exhibits and artifacts. Spend around an hour exploring the museum before heading towards the Pyramid of Tirana (Enver Hoxha Pyramid). The pyramid is only a 15-minute walk away and offers unique architecture that reflects its controversial past. You can spend about 30 minutes here taking pictures and enjoying the surrounding park area.
Evening
As evening approaches, take a ride on the Dajti Express Cable Car (Dajti Ekspres) for breathtaking views of Tirana and its surroundings. The cable car ride takes approximately 15 minutes one way, so plan for about an hour total including time at the top to enjoy dinner with a view at Dajti Mountain Restaurant. After dinner, return to Tirana via cable car and conclude your day with drinks at Secret Garden where you can relax in a cozy atmosphere surrounded by greenery.
