For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: dense circulation and summer heat. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Place Skanderbeg
Skanderbeg Square forms the large open space of Tirana, surrounded by the Etohem Bey mosque, the national museum, opera and facades of very different periods. Its vast mineral esplanade changes in style according to the hour, between fast crossings, children by bicycle and cafes on the nearby streets.
Town or village
Bunk'Art
Bunk-Art transforms a bunker from the communist period into an underground route on Albanian surveillance, propaganda and political life. Cold corridors, technical rooms and museum installations make the experience very physical, especially to understand what the isolation of the regime meant in concrete terms.
Nature
Mont Dajti
Mount Dajti dominates Tirana and joins by cable car, offering a quick break with the noise of the capital. At the top, forests, restaurants, viewpoints and short paths allow to measure the extent of the city, laid between hills, colorful buildings and coastal plain.
