Unwind in the city's green lung.

The stops, in order

  1. Pyramid of TiranaDiscover the Pyramid of Tirana, one of the city's most daring and controversial monuments. Originally designed as a mausoleum for Enver Hoxha, it has lived multiple lives: a NATO base, a broadcasting center, and a canvas for local graffiti. Recently rehabilitated by a major architectural firm, it has been transformed into a massive technological and cultural hub for youth, featuring grand exterior staircases that allow you to climb to the top.
  2. Grand Park of Tirana↳ 1.3 km from the previous stop (straight line)Let's step away from the urban bustle to discover the Grand Park of Tirana (Parku i Madh), the green lung of the capital. Situated along a vast artificial lake, this park is the favorite retreat for locals to jog, picnic under the shade of stone pines, or enjoy a coffee on a terrace. Around the lake, peaceful trails wind through the forest, which also houses an open-air amphitheater and poignant World War II memorials.
