Tanners’ Bridge

Tanners’ Bridge

Tanners' Bridge is a beautifully restored Ottoman-era stone bridge that once crossed the Lanë stream, facilitating trade for the nearby butchers and tanners. Dating back to the 18th century, it serves as an important symbol of Tirana's historical development. With its recent restoration, the bridge offers a glimpse into Tirana's rich history, contrasting with the Soviet-era housing in the background. It is one of the few well-preserved examples of the city's Ottoman past.

The Pyramid of Tirana, once a museum and a monument honouring dictator Enver Hoxha, has been transformed into TUMO Center Tirana, an IT hub for creative technologies. Reopened in 2023, the renovated site now features cafés, studios, workshops and offices for start-ups, alongside classrooms where Albanian youth can learn technology skills for free. Steps added to the pyramid’s sloping façade allow visitors to walk on the symbolic structure, while colourful boxes scattered around the park create a vibrant public space.

Mount Dajti

Mount Dajti looms majestically over Tirana, offering a beautiful escape into nature with its national park, dense forests and panoramic views. You can reach the top either by taking the Dajti Ekspres cable car — the longest in the Balkans — or enjoy a scenic drive. Once at the summit, you'll find several restaurants where you can savour a meal while enjoying the serene landscape. The sense of standing above the city, with expansive views stretching in every direction, gives you a feeling of being on top of the world. Dajti Mountain National Park also offers an adventure park for kids and adults, a rotating bar, minigolf, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as many romantic spots for picnicking.
