Skanderbeg Square
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Albania

Skanderbeg Square

5.0/5
35 reviews
There are many major local buildings around Skanderbeg Square, including government buildings, opera houses, museums and banks, most of which were built during the Mussolini era in Italy. This is also the place where local daily events are held. The Equestrian Statue of Skanderbeg in the south of the square is the symbol of this square.Tirana · 1.2km from downtown

Pyramid of Tirana

4.8/5

The Pyramid of Tirana is a landmark building in the capital of Albania. Originally a museum dedicated to former Albanian leader Enver Hoxha, it has served as a conference center and a television studio over the decades. It also sat abandoned for a long time, with its exterior walls covered in graffiti. Its sloping facade, however, became a place for local youth to climb and play. After a comprehensive renovation, this old building has been revitalized. Its interior has been transformed into TUMO, a creative technology education center for teenagers, offering courses and activities focused on programming, robotics, and art. The bright, colorful space adds a sense of lightness to the originally heavy concrete shell. One of its sloping sides has been converted into a series of steps, allowing people to walk all the way to the top of the building to overlook the city view, continuing the building's unique climbable appeal. Not far in front of it hangs a Peace Bell, cast from shell casings collected during the social unrest of the late 1990s to commemorate those who lost their lives. A bell and a building perfectly encapsulate the changes this city has undergone over the decades.Tirana · 1.3km from downtown
Castle of Kruja
No. 1 of Family-friendly Attractions in Albania

Castle of Kruja

5.0/5

Kruje Castle is located in central Albania and was the core stronghold of the national hero Skanderbeg's resistance against the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. It can be reached by car from the capital, Tirana, or by bus which departs every hour.   The must-visit Skanderbeg Museum in the castle recreates the epic battle with a three-dimensional sand table and weapons displays. The top-floor observation deck overlooks the entire Kruje Valley. On the east side, there is a folk museum that was transformed from a 15th-century caravan station, displaying traditional looms and bronze crafts. The weekly open-air market at the foot of the castle still continues the trade tradition of the Ottoman era, and handmade wool blankets and pottery are worth buying.   It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes to climb the gravel slope and prepare plenty of drinking water in summer. In winter, some outdoor areas may be temporarily closed due to snow. It is recommended to check the local tourism bureau's homepage for updates before traveling. Parking spaces are limited, so it is recommended to arrive before 10 am during peak season.Kruje · 19.8km from Tirana

The pyramid in Tirana is a very strange building. It was built during the Hoxha government. Now the building has been abandoned, but it has become a famous tourist attraction because the slope of the building is about 50 degrees, which is a huge slide, attracting many citizens to come and play, which is really ironic.

It is about an hour's drive from the capital, Tirana. On the way to the castle, there is an Old Bazaar lined with souvenir shops selling traditional embroidery and handicrafts, so those who love miscellaneous goods will definitely be distracted! Inside Kruja Castle is a museum where you can see the history of Albania. The view from the terrace is also amazing, so be sure to visit.

This is an ancient castle with a history of more than 1,000 years. It is located on the high mountains of Tirana. Although only the ruins are left, you can still feel its grandeur at that time. The castle overlooks Lake Skadar below and the border between Arnia and Montenegro in the distance. The scenery is really great and it is definitely worth climbing.
