Tirana and Kruja are two lovely cities in Albania that no one should miss while traveling there. Living in Kosovo offers the great benefit of traveling easily and quickly , even for a weekend, to the neighboring countries.
This past weekend, I went to Albania with two friends of mine. I had a difficult task ahead of me since one of my friends was visiting Albania for the first time. I had to make sure to show her all the best things.
That would leave a good first impression on her and make her go back. The other friend is not that fond of Albania, so I had to try to change her perception. One cannot even cover in two days everything in Tirana only, let alone two cities; so, we were going for the basics this time. We had a laid-back Friday evening and Saturday in Tirana and enjoyed the sun. On Sunday, we went to Kruja and then back to Pristina. These are purely my recommendations and might be very different depending on the person.
Going up there gives you a great view of Tirana, and then you can enjoy a lunch or dinner or just have a drink at one of the restaurants, and even do some wandering on the mountain. In addition, you can go hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, and go to the adventure park.
However, somehow, I was never able to do this until this weekend. The view from up there is lovely. Next to the Tower you purchase your ticket of ALL. That is a museum exhibiting traditional clothes and other artifacts.
