If you are looking for great traditional Albanian food, this is the place. The chef has also won awards and has been recommended by international newspapers. It is great for meat lovers but also vegans can enjoy burek or other Albanian specialities.

UKA Farm is the best nearest place outside of Tirana if you are a wine lover and would like to taste Albanian wine. The farm has a restaurant offering a variety of organic food choices. It is stretched along the wine yards making it the perfect place for a romantic or family/friends occasion. A tour in the wine cellar is also possibly upon request.

Great place to learn about Albanian history in the communist era. Former Cold War bunker, now an underground contemporary art & history museum over several floors. The Bunker itself is a symbol of repression and isolation from a war with the Soviets that never happened!

If you feel a bit tired from the pressure and noise of the city, take a walk in the lake park. You will find yourself within minutes in the greenest area the city has to offer. Going for a jogg, reading a book by the lake or having a coffee or beer with your friends is always worth it in this park.

If during your stay you’ll fill lucky enough, you can as well try rolling the dice in the Grand Casino. But in case you’re not a player, this is a good place to go just for a drink, especially during Covid times when all bars and restaurants must close around 10-11 PM, this place will be always open ;)
