Tirana's artificial lake and park remains one of the most relaxing places of the capital. Despite increasing buildings being developed near (and sometimes in) the park, an early-morning run or promenade is a daily routines for many Tirana citizens.

Drinks & Nightlife
Easily confused after a few lagers, Dada is without question one of my current personal favourites in the city. Combining a great location with thoughtful and occasionally wacky design features, this ultra-friendly place to drink and socialise combines three effortlessly interconnected indoor and outdoor spaces each with their own unique atmosphere. Like most bars in the city centre, it features plenty of DJs and live music, and the only negative thing I have to say about the place relates to the snacks on offer, which famously take an age to arrive and that simply isn’t worth the money. If you find yourself here and hungry late at night, don’t forget there are plenty of nearby places to grab a kebab.
