How to Spend a day in Tirana - Albania 🇦🇱

🗺️ [What a Difference a Day Makes in Tirana] #familytravel in #balkantrip ✈️ Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA), also known as Rinas Airport, is Albania's primary international gateway. ☀️ We arrived early, and staying in the city centre is highly recommended for convenience and easy access to main attractions. Most of the popular tourist attractions are located within walking distance. 😍 Tirana is surprisingly a beautiful city, full of vibrant energy and colorful charm. The streets are lined with lively cafes, striking murals, and a mix of architectural styles that reflect its complex history. Green spaces like the Grand Park and the artificial lake offer peaceful escapes from the urban bustle, making Tirana not just interesting, but genuinely pleasant to explore. 🥘 I had the chance to sample the local cuisine, which features a mix of Albanian, Greek, Italian, English, and Turkish influences. However, during my walk, I noticed that Asian food options were quite limited. 📍We were able to visit several 🆓 notable landmarks and sights in a single day, even with a 3.5-year-old toddler in tow. 0️⃣1️⃣ The National library of Albania 0️⃣2️⃣ Mosque of Namazgah 0️⃣3️⃣ Lana River 0️⃣4️⃣ Tirana Castle (highlighted by a must-stop at the charming Cowboy Candy Shop in Kalaja e Tiranës) 0️⃣5️⃣ St Paul Cathedral 0️⃣6️⃣ Pyramid of Tirana 0️⃣7️⃣ Rinia Park 0️⃣8️⃣ Independence Memorial 0️⃣9️⃣ The Cloud 1️⃣0️⃣ Resurrection of Christ Orthodox Cathedral 1️⃣1️⃣ The equestrian statue of Skanderbeg 1️⃣2️⃣ Et'hem Bej Mosque 1️⃣3️⃣ Kulla e Sahatit 1️⃣4️⃣ Skanderbeg Square 1️⃣5️⃣ I love Tirana Sign 1️⃣6️⃣ Palace of Culture #tirana #albania #balkantrip #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #familytravel
