Tirana, one good walk at a time.
Start with Skanderbeg Square, look a little closer, and leave space for a coffee. A small walk can still feel like a discovery.

Let the square orient you
Begin at Skanderbeg Square, where the monument, Et’hem Bey Mosque and Clock Tower introduce different chapters of Tirana. Take a slow lap, look up at the buildings around you, and enjoy the space before choosing a street to follow.
Choose one small detour
Follow your curiosity towards Murat Toptani pedestrian street, or turn the outing into a visit to the New Bazaar. The market, cafés and places to eat offer a different rhythm from the square. Choose whichever direction feels like your kind of afternoon.
Keep the pause in the plan
Order a coffee and watch the city carry on around you. This is a walk for noticing small things: a shop window, a conversation, a street you might otherwise pass. One memorable pause can be the best part of a short visit.
