Tirana is the capital city of Albania, located in the central part of the country. The city has a population of around 500,000 people. The country is and is up and coming as a tourist destination thanks to a lower price level than other vacation destinations in Europe.
Tirana has a mix of architecture ranging form Ottoman and Soviet-era buildings. The center of the city is the sprawling Skanderbeg Square with a statue of its national hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu. The total area of the square is about 40,000 square meters and that's also where we start our tour.
We circle the square a bit as the center has some notable buildings. Soon we pass the early 19th-century Et'hem Bey Mosque.
Bunk'Art, housed in a former nuclear bunker, offers exhibits on Albania's communist era and World War II history. We won't go down there this time. Instead we walk all the way South. On this beautiful day we see Rinia Park and finally walk towards the Arena Center, where we end our long tour.
