Description

Meet your guide and take a short walk to your first stop, an inviting local eatery. Ease into the day with some authentic Albanian flavors. Enjoy a light traditional breakfast-style meal featuring Lakror, a signature Albanian pie made with hand-stretched dough and typically filled with vegetables, herbs, or cheese. Alongside the lakror, sample locally made cheeses and fruit jams, offering a sweet and savory balance that’s simple, satisfying, and deeply rooted in Albanian tradition. Next, visit the New Bazaar, one of Tirana’s most colorful and lively neighborhoods. Recently revitalized, this historic market area blends old-world charm with modern Albanian culture. Stroll through its bustling streets, discover local produce, artisanal goods, and authentic crafts. Take a relaxing break here to enjoy some local refreshments. Try ‘bozë’, a traditional Albanian drink made from fermented corn and sugar, and cool off with some locally made ice cream. Then, bike to the city’s central plaza, Skanderbeg Square, a symbol of national pride and cultural identity. Hear stories of Albania’s past and how the city has transformed over time, surrounded by important landmarks like the National History Museum, Et’hem Bey Mosque, and government buildings. Next, head to the historic Tirana Castle, one of the city’s oldest sites, now revitalized as a cultural and culinary hub. Within its charming stone walls, enjoy an olive oil tasting featuring premium local varieties paired with rustic bread and fresh herbs. Learn about Albania’s deep-rooted olive oil production traditions and what makes their oils unique. After the castle, quench your thirst with a visit to a local microbrewery, where you’ll sample a selection of craft beers brewed with Albanian ingredients and creativity. From pale ales to dark stouts, discover how Tirana’s beer scene is growing with flavor and character. Cycle along the iconic Deshmoret e Kombit Boulevard, one of Tirana’s most prominent streets, lined with striking buildings and history. Stop to view the Pyramid of Tirana, a controversial and fascinating structure originally built as a museum for dictator Enver Hoxha. It now stands as a symbol of Albania’s post-communist transformation. Leave the urban buzz behind and enter Grand Park of Tirana, also known as the Lake Park, a serene area filled with fresh air, shady trees, and lakeside paths. This is the perfect time to relax, take in nature, and enjoy a leisurely ride before lunch. Stop for a fresh breath and then try some traditional Albanian alcoholic drink (Raki) with cinnamon.
