Find your bearings
Settle into Tirana. Walk Skanderbeg Square and the nearby streets, then leave the afternoon for the New Bazaar. Keep arrival day light: a delayed flight should not unravel your itinerary.
Choose a story
Pick a museum that interests you and check its opening hours directly. Pair an indoor visit with cafés and a walk around the Pyramid area. Build in time for a long lunch rather than trying to tick off every landmark.
Make space for green
Spend a relaxed morning around the Grand Park and lake. If you prefer a mountain excursion, confirm transport and weather before committing. Keep a generous airport-transfer buffer at the end of your trip.
