THE TRIP, IN A FEW WORDS
A little time in Tirana.
Choose one city loop.
An airport-hotel stay can still leave room for a Tirana evening, but the city transfer is part of the outing. Choose the Skanderbeg Square and Pazari i Ri area, or a dinner-and-Pyramid loop closer to Blloku.
This is an arrival evening followed by a departure morning, with one airport-hotel night. It does not include a full Tirana sightseeing day; arrange transport back to the hotel before extending the walk.

A NOTE FROM ALISHA & MATT
A few decisions
before you go.
Choose the main visit first, then fit the smaller stops around it.
Alisha & MattArrange both road journeys.
The airport base is outside the city-centre walk.
Choose the area around dinner.
Era Vila and the Pyramid fit a different loop from Skanderbeg Square and Pazari i Ri.
Keep mosque access specific.
Check visitor arrangements and worship times; an exterior stop is enough for this short route.
BEFORE YOU GO
