In today's vlog we decided to find out exactly what things make Tirana, Albania so unique. After a day exploring, we quickly found out that Tirana has such a cool way of remembering their history whether it's beautiful or not. Come along as we explore the best things to do in Tirana!
We're starting today a bit differently. Son Juice Shop is located in Tirana Castle. This castle is the most unique we’ve seen in the fact that it’s been renovated just a little differently from all the others, and kind of perfectly embodies what Tirana’s about. This area serves as a culinary environment for traditional cooking, but also as an area of culture and art. Stay tuned for later to see it at night!
The Great Mosque of Tirana, or Namazgah Mosque, is a mosque here that’s nearing its construction completion but not quite done yet so we can’t go in just yet to see it. But that’s no problem because right next to the Tirana Castle is a huge shopping mall that has 7 floors with an excellent view of the mosque from the very top floor.
Our next stop is kind of hard to miss. Skanderbeg Square is the heart of Tirana & it’s where Tirana’s most important monuments are located. The square has a host of museums, monuments, & places of worship, including our next stop.
If you’re in Skanderbeg Square then you’ll have no issues spotting Et’hem Bey Mosque. It sits on the Southeast corner of the square and has been here since its completion in the 19th century. What makes this mosque so significant outside of its location is that it’s one of the few religious centers that survived the Soviet era where religious activity was banned.
Right next to the mosque is the Clock Tower. This tower was constructed in 1822 & makes for a perfect spot to get a really good view of Skanderbeg Square from above.
Next up was Bunk’Art 2. Bunk’Art is an underground contemporary art & history museum located inside Soviet Era bunkers.
One thing about Tirana is that it’s HOT in the summer, so we’re headed to Rruga Murat Toptani, or Murat Toptani Road to get some great Greek food!
One bummer about today is that currently we can’t visit the Pyramid of Tirana since it’s being renovated. The Pyramid of Tirana is a Soviet-era structure & museum built in 1988 honoring the legacy of Communist Albanian leader Enver Hoxha. It's since fallen into disarray but is currently being built into a community center. It’s just really cool to me how Albanians don’t knock down these old monuments and reminders of their history. They instead repurpose them & use them for something positive.
Not too far away from the center of town is Grand Park. Hannah & I walked here a couple days ago and it’s a cool park to enjoy a walk around the lake. You’ll see people fishing, running, & enjoying the little play areas around here. It’s a nice spot to get away from the busy center of town.
For dinner we’re going back to Tirana Castle since it’s a really awesome night spot with a ton of restaurants.
