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.

The Southeast’s largest natural history museum has four floors of exhibits, a Nature Research Center, and a dedicated wing full of scientists working in the public eye. Highlights include the world’s most complete Acrocanthosaurus specimen and the three-story multimedia Daily Planet.

This large public park, Tirana's "green lung", offers a peaceful escape from the city. You can relax on the grassy areas by the artificial lake, enjoy a jog along the scenic paths, or explore the beautiful flora at the Botanical Gardens of Tirana, where various plant species and flowers are showcased. It's an ideal spot to unwind and soak in nature within easy reach of the urban environment.

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.
